In 2005, Estopa signed a global music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing.
The name of the group, "Estopa" (tow, in english) refers to when both brothers worked together at a SEAT automobile factory and, in their own words, a boss kept on screaming at them, "¡Dale estopa!" which means something like "Work hard!".
Quieto Parao
Estopa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Acaso me paso, el caso es que Susy
Sigue como un queso
Que cosas me pasan,
Le dije nos casamos
Y ella no quiso, pasa, que estas en tu casa
Eso si me dijo
Y le descosí el corsé con un bocao salvaje
Se lo tomó a guasa, que guasa
Mucha, mucha guasa.
Quieto parao, que te veo muy embalao, fiera!
Baja esos ánimos
Que te estás acercando al máximo
A la frontera.
Envenenao, siempre vienes envenenao, fiera
Baja esos ánimos
Que te estas acercando al máximo.
Quieto parao que te veo muy embalao, fiera
Baja esos ánimos
Que te estás acercándo al máximo.
Me cuelo en el metro
Se cuela mi chati,
Otra que se atreve
Trenes psicotrópicos
Que trae tratos químicos típicos
Yo sigo histérico líquido
Facial isotónico
Produce un efecto isotérmico libido
Presiento que sigo con ganas
Y entonces me acerco, y entonces me acerco
Y entonces me acerco
Me cuelo en el metro.
Quieto parao…
Envenenao…
Quieto parao…
Se desmembra la membrana
Vente conmigo a la trena
Vamos a montar un trama
Ponme carita de pena.
Tu con tu cara de pena
Yo con mi cara de pana.
Tu eres pa mi una princesa
Yo pa ti soy una rana.
Paréntesis "mastemáticos"
De tus ojos esotéricos
Quieto parao que te veo muy embalao
Fiera!

The lyrics to Estopa's song Quieto Para express a man's frustrations with his relationship with Susy. He proposes to her, but she rejects him, saying that she wants to stay at home. In an attempt to seduce her, he tears off her corset with a wild kiss, but she takes it as a joke. The chorus warns him to calm down as he is getting too excited and approaching the limit. The second verse talks about taking the metro with his girlfriend and other passengers who are taking psychotropic drugs. He is feeling restless and anxious, and he tries to get closer to his girlfriend.
Overall, the lyrics describe a man who is impulsive, passionate, and frustrated with his relationship with Susy. He is trying to push her boundaries and get closer to her, but she is not interested. The chorus serves as a warning to him to slow down and not go too far.
