Erica Laura García is a singer, guitar player and song writer born in Palermo, Buenos Aires. In 1991 she forms the band "Mata Violeta" together with Karina Tamburini (drums) and Nancy González (bass). "Mata Violeta" splits up in 1995, and Erica launches her solo career. In 1997 she releases her first album, "El Cerebro", produced by Ricardo Mollo (Sumo, Divididos).
However, it is her second record, "La Bestia" the one that made Erica more popular in the argentinian rock scene. Specially, her song "Vete destino" was a hit and helped her get into other markets. She broke into the mainstream scene with her album "Amorama" (2001) and her single "Positiva".
After that she moved to Los Angeles (USA) from 2003 to 2010. There she devloped indie projects and released records, such as "Afternoon in the Bamboos" (2006, as Mountain Party) and "Lady Grave" (2006, as Lady Grave). In 2010 she returned to Buenos Aires and in 2014 she released her latest album, "Tango Vampiros".
Aside her solo career, she's participated in a number of acts and collaborations with different Argentinean and international numbers (Café Tacuba, Brazzaville, Divididos, Andrea Álvarez, Cienfuegos, Enrique Bunbury, Alejandro Lerner, etc.), gaining recognition over her vocal and guitar skills.
Cuervos
Erica García Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
un cuervo que me mira
y justo que me mira no es un cuervo
Un bosque solitario con pajaros alados
y arboles proyectan cine bueno
Los cuervos que me ruegan que cocine mis ojos
y se los de en manjar para la cena
Un hombre a mis espaldas
cuando voy a besarlo vuelve a cuervo
¿que pasa con el hombre?
¿que pasa con el hombre?
Que cuando yo lo amo vuelve a cuervo
que pasa con el hombre?
¿que pasa con el hombre?
que cuando yo lo amo no es eterno
Animales predilectos
animales predilectos
hombres
mis animales predilectos
Cuervos muy lindos
cuervos muy tiernos
inteligentes y sinceros
El devora mis ojos
el devora mi carne y a su lado yo soy un pollito
Mi mente esta creciendo
mi mente esta despierta
y ahora soy un aguila completa
¿que pasa con el hombre?
¿que pasa con el hombre?
Que cuando yo lo amo no es eterno
que pasa con el hombre?
¿que pasa con el hombre ?
Que cuando yo lo amo vuelve a cuervo
Si te quise no me acuerdo
todos los hombres son cuervos
si te quise no me acuerdo
Todos no
Yo soy el hombre cuervo
el mismo que te ama
el mismo que te come hasta los huesos
No creas que no entiendo que sufres y que te hartas
y que a veces no digo que te quiero mas dejame decirte
no creas que estas libre
mujeres son hermosas pero buitres
Yo te necesito
ayudame un poquito
me enseñaron a no pedir cariño.
The lyrics of Erica Garcia's "Cuervos" describe a surreal and eerie setting where the singer is sitting in a forest with a crow looking at her. As the song progresses, she realizes that the crow is not a bird but a man, who turns back into a crow every time she tries to be intimate with him. The singer portrays the men in her life as crows or animals that devour her and reduce her to a small bird. The lyrics depict her realization that she needs more than what her partner provides, and she needs to break free from this cycle of intimacy with men who eat her alive.
The song is metaphorical, and the lyrics suggest a deep meaning where the crow represents the men who cannot offer love or sustain a relationship. The singer longs for a stable and fulfilling relationship where she can receive affection and love without being reduced to a fragile bird. The haunting melody and the dramatic lyrics create an eerie atmosphere that reflects the confusion and desperation of the singer's protagonist.
