1) Rock band formed in 1980. The following year they won the Villa de Oviedo contest and get to publish 3 tracks in a compilation. Their first LP, called Ilegales, appeared in 1982, and since then they've consistently been one of the main Spanish rock bands.
2) Dominican "merenhouse" quartet. Their hits "La Morena", "Fiesta Caliente", "Las Mujeres", "Taqui Taqui", and "La otra" were very popular in all Latin America and in the Hispanic market in the US during the late 90's. Now the band plays bachata, as in their single "Mátame".

Ilegales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hoy hombres peligrosos.
Viejas caras, nuevas caras,
pero las mismas cabezas.
¿Qué les empujará?
No viven solo esperan.
Están agotados de esperar.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Niños sin escuela de ayer,
jugadores de billar.
No les mires en los ojos,
porque van desesperados.
¿Qué les empujará?
No viven solo esperan.
Están agotados de esperar.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Esa chica pálida y triste vende anfetaminas.
Mis amigos hombre del norte luchan en las calles.
¿Qué les empujará?
No viven solo esperan.
Están agotados de esperar.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
Agotados de esperar el fin.
The lyrics of "Agotados de esperar el fin" by Ilegales speak about the despair and exhaustion of people who live on the margins of society. The song begins by talking about juvenile delinquents who have now grown up and become dangerous men. It then references "old faces, new faces, but the same heads," suggesting that despite changes in appearance, these individuals are still motivated by the same things. They live not for the present, but for some uncertain future, and have grown tired of waiting.
The second verse is about children who not only lack schooling but also find themselves playing pool. The lyrics caution the listener against looking into their eyes, as they are filled with desperation. The chorus repeats the phrase "Agotados de esperar el fin" or "Tired of Waiting for the End," emphasizing the frustration and anguish experienced by these individuals.
The song concludes by referencing a girl who sells amphetamines and friends fighting in the streets. These lines suggest that the frustration and despair experienced by those on the margins can lead to darker paths. In pushing people to their limits, society risks fueling self-destructive behavior. In "Agotados de esperar el fin," Ilegales brings attention to the human cost of neglecting the needs and aspirations of those who traditionally have less power.
