Originated in Mataderos, a humble quartier of Buenos Aires, they started playing small gigs in the neighbourhood. In 1993 A Dónde Me Lleva La Vida was released, which was independently produced, but the requirement to fulfill the public's demand persuaded the band to sign with a major label, PolyGram, with the firm position of not losing artistic independence.

Cuando Estés Acá
La Renga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y una frágil forma de existir
Con verte nacer ¿cómo hay quien puede ver
Un mundo para destruir?
Ojos que no ven, corazones que no sienten
Y vos que estás por venir
A cada instante habrá un flor
En que la vida se desnude
Ante esos ojos necios
Cuando está acá tendrás tu tiempo
El mismo que no tiene fin
¿en un mundo así, donde está tu lugar
Quién puede el agua pudrir?
Ojos que no ven, corazones que no sienten
Y vos que estás por venir
Cuando está acá, tendrás tu espacio
Tu tiempo y algo por qué luchar
Al verte crecer y hacerte fuerte
¿quién más le puede temer?
A esos ojos que no ven, corazones que no sienten
Si vos ya estás acá
The lyrics to La Renga's song "Cuando Estés Acá" are powerful and thought-provoking. The song talks about how when someone is born, they have a fragile existence and a space in the world to occupy. The lyrics also express the question of why anyone would want to destroy the world when there is so much beauty in it. The song speaks to the idea that many people do not see the beauty in the world, and therefore are unable to appreciate it.
The song also addresses the idea of time and its infinite nature. Even though the person being born has their own time to occupy, it is the same time that has no end. This question of where someone belongs in the world is asked, and why anyone would want to destroy the water, which is essential for life. The lyrics call out the fact that many people do not see or feel the same things, and therefore are not going to have the same connection to the world.
The song concludes with the idea that the person being born will have their own space, time, and something to fight for. The lyrics express the idea that even though there are people in the world who do not see or feel the same things, it doesn't matter because the person being born will already be here, and they will be able to make their own way in the world.
