Decisiones Apresuradas
Fito Páez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alguien decide por el país
No me culpen,
No estoy dispuesto para morir sobre un crucifijo
Tiran, y tiran líneas... aspiran...
Generales
Mataron media generación
Una guerra no es un negocio ni una ilusión
Vienen y van al baño
Y toman apresurados la decisión (la decisión)
Y no entiendo, yo aquí no entiendo nada...
Norberto campos interpreta al general alcoholtieri:
-"yo quiero decirles
Que no cederemos un sólo metro
De las tierras (...) conquistadas.
Y yo, pretendo, representarlos,
Ser, ser el hombre, que decida,
Decida, lo que, lo que ustedes tienen que hacer..."
Fito:-"pero a ustedes les parece, realmente?"
The song "Decisiones Apresuradas" by Fito Paez is a powerful critique of the hasty decision-making that takes place in times of war or political crisis. The lyrics speak of cocaine use by those in power, and the consequences of their actions, including the loss of life and the devastation of an entire generation. At the same time, the lyrics express a sense of anger and confusion at the way in which decisions are made, with little regard for the human cost.
The song opens with the line "Cocaine, someone decides for the country," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer, who clearly feels disconnected from those in power, declares "Don't blame me, I'm not willing to die on a crucifix." He goes on to criticize the war-like mentality of those in positions of authority, stating that "a war is not a business or an illusion, a war is blood."
The lyrics also refer to the fact that those who make the decisions are often removed from the reality of the situation. They "come and go to the bathroom" and make hurried decisions without fully understanding the implications. The song ends with the singer expressing his frustration and confusion, declaring "I don't understand anything here."
Overall, "Decisiones Apresuradas" is a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the costs of war and the way in which decisions are made by those in power.

Has llegado a mis oídos contándome una historia, pero resulta que desafortunadamente la historia se repite, y en mi país la realidad (aunque se de en un contextos distintos), sigue reflejando las mismas ideas que manchan las calles con un color a muerte, con un dolor impuesto e inclemente.
Hoy me levanté a transcurir por esta vida y dejarme llevar por el paso del tiempo a ver si un país puede acoger el arte para cambiar su suerte.
Gracias Fito, tú hiciste que el arte, me de un motivo más para tener esperanza frente a un cambio.
Lorenzo
