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".
Mi Sangre Oculta Un Veneno
Ilegales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que espanta el sueño y el hambre de una forma radical.
MI sangre oculta un veneno de América del Sur
que calienta mi cerebro y agita mi corazón.
Mi sangre oculta un veneno que no me pueden quitar.
Soy feliz envenenado y no me quiero salvar.
Mi sangre oculta un veneno que declaran ilegal
Desde las selvas que atacan las ciudades de Brasil
hasta las Dunas Naranja en Sahara Oriental.
Desde los altos cultivos de América mineral
hasta el ombligo sagrado de la Europa liberal.
The song "Mi Sangre Oculta Un Veneno" by Ilegales is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that speaks of a poison that runs deep within the veins of the singer. The first verse opens with the line "Mi sangre oculta un veneno que no puedo controlar" which means "My blood hides a poison that I cannot control." The lyrics then go on to describe how this poison affects the singer, causing him to lose sleep and appetite in a radical way. The next line "Mi sangre oculta un veneno de América del Sur" refers to the origin of this poison and how it is related to the heat and passion of the South American continent.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as it speaks of how the singer is poisoned but refuses to be saved. He is happy being poisoned and does not want to be freed from its effects. In the second verse, the lyrics speak of how this poison has been declared illegal and how it breaks through borders and boundaries. The song then goes on to describe various places around the world where this poison has been felt, from the jungles of Brazil to the deserts of the Middle East.
Overall, the song can be interpreted in a variety of ways but one possible explanation is that it speaks of the power of passion and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. The "poison" within the singer could represent his intense emotions and desires, which he cannot control but also cannot live without.
