Cuánto más
Hereford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te veo a vos, en la televisión
Y no tenes perdón, tendrías que estar bajo tierra
Por todo lo que sos, muerte horror y destrucción
Hasta cuando esta canción se tiene que repetir
Y es el terror que me da, que todo lo que pasa lo vas a justificar

Como si fueras vos
Como si fueras dios
Como si fueran dos aliadlos de toda la vida
Pero ponete a rezar si dios habla con vos
Ya no hay nada que esperar

Cuanto más tiene que aparecer
Te vienen a buscar son los demonios de tu anochecer

Cuando miras atrás, te apuesto que sudas
Podrás tapar la verdad, pero nunca la memoria
De los que ya no están, de los que dejaste atrás
De todos los que gritan nunca más
Y es el terror que te da que todo el pasado
Está empezando a asomar





Cuanto más tiene que aparecer
Te vienen a buscar son los demonios de tu anochecer

Overall Meaning

The song "Cuánto más" by Hereford is a powerful denunciation of the violence, horror and destruction caused by those in power, especially in Argentina during the military dictatorship of the 1970s and 1980s. The lyrics criticize those who have committed atrocities and are still able to justify them, as well as those who have tried to cover up the truth and silence the voices of those who have suffered. The singer sees the person responsible for these crimes on television and cannot help but feel fear and anger at the thought of their continued impunity.


The chorus of "Cuánto más" asks how much more evidence needs to come to light before those responsible are held accountable. The demons of their dark past are coming back to haunt them, and no amount of denial or excuses can save them now. The singer urges them to pray, but warns that even if they claim to speak to God, there is nothing left to hope for. The song ends on a note of hope, however, as the singer reminds them that the voices of the victims still cry out for justice.


In summary, "Cuánto más" is a profoundly moving protest song that speaks to the legacy of state-sponsored violence in Argentina and beyond. It is a reminder that no matter how much time has passed, the past can never truly be erased or forgotten, and that the fight for accountability and justice must continue.
