Their first hit was Veni Raquel, which set the tone for their later lyrics' irreverence and ironic humor. Many of their songs are classic anthems of Argentinian nightlife, such as Corazón, Loco (Tu Forma de Ser), Entregá el Marrón, La Guitarra, Los Piratas, and El Murguero.
For some of their hit songs and videos, the Decandentes have engaged many Argentine icons such as former soccer referee Guillermo Nimo and the later candombe singer Alberto Castillo. They are popular with many generations as they draw from traditions such as canzonetta, murga bands, and cantina songs.
Besándote
Los Auténticos Decadentes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenes tu amor, yo ya lo se
Dejándote, nunca te voy a volver a ver
El tiempo es hoy mañana fue
Valió la pena sentarme en la vereda
Esperando que una flor cayera de tu balcón
Con la llama de tus labios me quemé
Besándote, besándote
Una locura voy a cometer
Besándote, no me importa con quien estés
Menos si voy a besarte otra vez
Dejándote nunca te voy a volver a ver
El tiempo es hoy, mañana fue
Valió la pena sentarme en la vereda
Esperando que una flor cayera de tu balcón
Be, besándote, besándote
Con la llama de tus labios me quemé
Besándote, besándote
Una locura voy a cometer
The lyrics of Besándote describe the uncontrollable desire to kiss someone and the willingness to go to any extent to make it happen. The song speaks of the singer's certain knowledge that the person they are speaking of loves them, but since they are a compulsive kisser, they may never see them again after the kiss. The lines "El tiempo es hoy, mañana fue" (Time is now, tomorrow is past) suggest that the singer is living in the moment and willing to take risks for love without worrying about future consequences.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "Besándote", which means "Kissing you". This repetition emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings and their strong desire to kiss the person they are singing about. The line "Con la llama de tus labios me quemé" (With the flame of your lips I burned) further conveys this idea of the passion and heat that the kiss represents.
The verses of the song speak of waiting on the street for a flower to fall from the person's balcony. This image implies a romantic longing and a sense of patience and persistence, but ultimately, the singer cannot resist the urge to take the next step and act on their desire to kiss.
Overall, Besándote is a song about the compelling nature of desire and the risks one is willing to take for love.
