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. Polygram being only in charge of the manufacture and distribution of discs.
In 1994 they managed to completely sell out a concert at Arena Obras Sanitarias, being the first and only band ever to play in that legendary stadium presenting their debut album.
In 1995 Bailando En Una Pata was released, which contains live versions of the songs of Esquivando Charcos, accompanied by the song that gives the name to the album, and a version of "Born to Be Wild" by Canadian group Steppenwolf. During 1995 and 1996 La Renga carried out several presentations through Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires, many of them to benefit.

The band would close the year with a huge show, promoted only by word of mouth, in the already-known stadium of Huracán, this show was called the Eye Of the Hurricane because the stage was located in the center of the pitch.

Veneno
La Renga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donde arden las estrellas
Dejé mi herida abierta
En un valle de penas
Casi sin darte cuenta
Se te puede enfermar el corazón
Cuando uno menos lo espera
En un río de deshielo
Al sol de una mañana
Trajeron en un cuerpo
A un ángel de montaña
Un par de ojos negros
Te pueden robar la ilusión
Y no hay cura ni remedio
Que te haga ver mejor
La luna y mi suerte
Rompieron el encanto
Perdí mi sueño en la noche
Que el ángel se hizo diablo
Un par de ojos negros
Te pueden robar la ilusión
Y no hay cura ni remedio
Que te haga ver mejor
En un rincón de las sierras
Donde arden las estrellas
Dejé mi herida abierta
En un valle de penas
Casi sin darte cuenta
Se te puede enfermar el corazón
Cuando uno menos lo espera
El veneno ya está en tus venas
The lyrics of "Veneno" by La Renga are filled with imagery and metaphors that portray the power of love to both heal and harm. The song is about the dangerous allure of love and how it can both lift us up and break us down. The singer opens the song by describing a place in the mountains where the stars are constantly burning, and he left his wounds open in a valley of sorrows. He implies that love can be like a wound that never fully heals, and we may carry it with us for a long time.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that love can be like a poison that creeps up on us without warning. He compares it to a sickness that can infect your heart when you least expect it, and then it spreads through your veins like venom. It's clear that the singer has been through this experience before, and he knows how easily love can turn into something harmful if not handled with care.
The second verse introduces the idea of an angel who turns into a devil, which is another metaphor for the fickle nature of love. The singer is warning listeners to be wary of the things that seem too good to be true, as they often can be. When we put all our faith and trust in someone, we can easily become disillusioned and crushed when they don't live up to our expectations. The song ends as it began, with the singer in a solitary place, leaving his wounds open and vulnerable. The message is clear: love can both heal and harm, and we must be careful not to let it become a poison that infects our hearts.

En un rincón de las sierras donde arden las estrellas,
dejé mi herida abierta en un valle de penas.
Casi sin darte cuenta se te puede enfermar el corazón,
cuando uno menos lo espera,
el veneno ya está en tus venas.
En un río de deshielo, al sol de una mañana
trajeron en un cuerpo a un ángel de montaña,
un par de ojos negros te pueden robar la ilusión
y no hay cura ni remedio que te haga ver mejor.
La luna y mi suerte, rompieron el encanto
perdí mi sueño en la noche que el ángel se hizo diablo.
Un par de ojos negros te pueden robar la ilusión
y no hay cura ni remedio que te haga ver mejor.
