Furiously independent, they came from Santurce (near Bilbao, Basque Country). The band was made up by Jualma Suarez (bass and vocals), Iosu Exposito(guitar, vocals) and Paco Galan (drums) in 1980. They rapidly gained recognition in the basque punk circles in the early 80's thanks to their devastating gigs. Their music was highly inspirational, agressive, dark and full of the blackest humour,death being a recurrent theme. They never made any concessions to anybody and maybe cause of that made quite a few enemies (they were arrested many times on account of their music and looks). They represented the purest and rawest side of punk, but most important: they were real and genuine. Sadly, their extreme lifestyle lead to Jualma and Iosu's deaths in 1993 (Jualma within six months of Iosu). They released a string of essential albums in the 80's.

Emborrachate
Eskorbuto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo ya no puedo parar de kinki, ginebra.
Me voy a emborrachar!

Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe,
Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe
Y emborrachate

Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe,

Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe
Y emborrachate, de alcohol, del 96
De alcohol, del 96!

Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe,
Bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe, bebe
Y emborrachate!

...sangre de cristo, que nunca te he visto,
Y ahora que te veo te pego un meneo...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eskorbuto's song Emborrachate are about the singer's desire to drink and get drunk. They express a lack of control and a willingness to completely abandon oneself to the effects of alcohol. The repetition of the phrase "bebe, bebe, bebe" (drink, drink, drink) reinforces this idea of consuming alcohol without moderation. The mention of "gin" and "96" (presumably referring to a high alcohol content) highlights the singer's preference for strong alcoholic beverages. The final line, "sangre de cristo", roughly translates to "the blood of Christ", and may be intended as a blasphemous or subversive statement in contrast to more traditionally religious lyrics.

Overall, the song can be interpreted as a critique of the societal norms and expectations around alcohol consumption, particularly in Spain where drinking culture is prevalent. The lyrics suggest a rejection of moderation and self-control, instead embracing excess and recklessness. The use of vulgar language and references to sexual activity further emphasize the rebellious and provocative nature of the song.
