Their energy is amazing: along with touring the world, they also managed to record a new album: „Antena Patchamama“ goes back to the roots, a very Ska-Punk focused album, of course with the typical dash of Reggae and lots of latinamerican Fiesta flavour! After last years’ successful festival performances all over Europe (Southside / Hurricane / Greenfield Festival (GER, CH), ZMF (GER), Rock for People (CZ), Esperanzah (BE), Parkpop (NL) amongst others...) KARAMELO SANTO are well prepared to seduce the audience with their high-quality crossover ramble through musical genres and present their new and rocking album “ANTENA PACHAMAMA”. Be prepared as well for a performance, that has it all: from a wild and furious rockshow through relaxed Reggaetunes to sweet Latin grooves!

Karamelo Santo was born in Mendoza / Argentina in 1993 and ever since then developed their own unique musical style. They achieved to gather around them a fanatic crowd of fans from all over the world, ever more since they successfully toured in Europe with "Los Guachos" in 2002. This milestone marked the beginning of a long and deep relationship of the band with the “old continent”, that every year challenges the most established cultural barriers and has permitted them to become one of the best-known representatives of Latin American music in Europe

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miro mi presente
Y siento que:
Fue mi pasado mejor,
Veo lo que viene
Y entiendo que:
Nada cambiará

Futuros eran los de antes

Y al pasado le doy
Con garrotes y lo alejo si vivo hoy

Todo lo que digan
Ya se ahogo en el mar
Todo lo que sueño
Ahora es por ti,
Solo por ti

Mermeladas de promesas
Empalagándome
Cuando pasa el presente y yo no estoy
No estoy

Recuerdo tu futuro hoy,
Recuerdo mi futuro hoy,
Nada es mejor que vivir intentando hoy.
Recuerdo tu futuro hoy,
Recuerdo mi futuro hoy,
Nada es mejor que vivir luchando hoy.

Miro pa´lante recordando que hice mal
Es el camino mas recto pa no volver a fallar
Que la vida no es tan larga y no hay tiempo que perder
En vivirse lamentando por como pudo ser

La estrella que perseguimos no se puede apagar
Los sueños que me obligan cada dia a despertar

No son cuento y siento que el presente como tal
Puede ser tu futuro asi que a despabilar...
