Among their greatest hits -after their Three Souls era- "Triste Cancion" (based on Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"), "Metro Balderas" (originally by Rodrigo Gonzalez), and "Piedras Rodantes" are probably the most known and have the quality of Anthems. Favorite bluesy songs such as "Oye Cantinero" and "ADO" belong to their Three Souls era, but are included in compilations and newer versions (from live concert recordings) abound.
asà se hacen los chismes
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Era el aniversario de un periódico
Pero cuando estábamos en el mero prendidon
Llego una señora y el sonido apago
Dos tres palabras se dejaron escuchar
Así que la ñora tuvo que volverse a conectar
Resulto que ella era dueña del congal
Aparte de suegra de un cantante de tropimetal
Estuvimos alegando después de la tocada
Y ahí quedo la cosa la neta no paso nada
Pero un revista el incidente comento
Y ahora dicen que hasta en bronca iba a terminar
Así se hacen los chismes
Cuantas cosas pasan diario a nuestro alrededor
Sin que una ni siquiera se de cuenta
Y la gente cuenta muchas cosas que no son
Por envidia por odio o por interés
Distorsionan la verdad a su conveniencia
Y solo te cuentan lo que quieren hacerte creer
El era una estrella del mundo de fútbol
Era un dios del juego del hombre
Pero el éxito a la cabeza se le subio
Y se metió en broncas de drogadiccion
Ahora hasta de narco se la quieren aventar
Y de tratante de blancas trasvergui y homosexual
The lyrics to "Así Se Hacen Los Chismes" by El Tri recount a specific incident where the band was invited to play at a party for a newspaper's anniversary. While they were all in the middle of their performance, a woman arrived at the party and abruptly stopped the music. She revealed herself to be the owner of a nearby brothel and the mother-in-law of a famous tropimetal singer. The band and the woman argued for a while, but nothing really happened, and they finished their performance without any issues. However, when a magazine reported on the incident, the story was distorted and exaggerated to the point where it was claimed that a huge fight had almost broken out.
The song then goes on to criticize how easily rumors and gossip can spread, and how often these rumors distort the truth to suit people's biases and interests. The song warns listeners to be careful about believing everything they hear and to be aware of how easily people can manipulate the truth to their advantage.
Overall, "Así Se Hacen Los Chismes" is a powerful commentary on the prevalence of rumors and gossip in society and how they can easily spiral out of control. The song urges people to be more critical and discerning when it comes to the information they consume and to be aware of how easily the truth can be distorted to fit people's biases and interests.
