The band was formed around 1986 by Cucho and Nito, who invited Gastón to join them.

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.

Los Auténticos Decadentes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y cuando te levantas
Ves todo el mundo al revés
Caminas todo el día
Pensándolo una y otra vez
Tu cara es un reflejo
Tu mente es un test
No entiendo lo que te pasa
Y yo no sé que voy a hacer

Te quejas todo el día

No sabes bien que hacer
Tu cuerpo es suficiente
Con el me entiendo bien
Ya no entiendo lo que te pasa
Ya no sé lo que voy a hacer
¡no puedo!
Te pego, te amo, te toco, te beso

Te aprieto y ya
No puedo más

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Autenticos Decadentes's song Cuerpos A Medida speak about a person who seems to be struggling with their emotions and their place in the world. They wake up feeling disoriented, seeing the world upside down, and spend the day walking and thinking about their thoughts and feelings. Their face is a reflection of what is going on inside, and their mind feels like a test that they cannot pass. They complain all day, unsure of what to do or how to handle their emotions.

The chorus describes a physical connection between the person and their partner. They say that their body is enough, and they understand each other well. However, the confusion and emotional turmoil continue, and the person cannot understand what is happening to them. The line, "Te pego, te amo, te toco, te beso / Te aprieto y ya / No puedo más" translates to "I hit you, I love you, I touch you, I kiss you / I squeeze you and that's it / I can't take it anymore." This line can be interpreted as an expression of the person's frustration with their emotions and their inability to control them.
