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.
Diosa
Los Auténticos Decadentes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con la cola llena de arena
Y perfumada por la sal
Diosa de pelo negro y piel morena
Radiante perla marinera
Como la venus frente al mar
Milagro de la creación
Era como admirar una nereida
Que con sus manos se despeina
Y el viento la vuelve a peinar, suave
Como el susurro de tu boca
Que cuando miras descoloca
Y no se sabe que pensar
Era como admirar una nereida
Que con sus manos se despeina
Y el viento la vuelve a peinar
Dueña de una sonrisa que marea
Cuando tus pechos bambolean
Como tormenta tropical
Un atentado a la moral
Nena
Tan linda como una sirena
Con la cola llena de arena
Y perfumada por la sal
Diosa de pelo negro y piel morena
Radiante perla marinera
Como la venus frente al mar
The lyrics to Los Auténticos Decadentes's song "Diosa" describe a woman as beautiful as a mermaid, with a sun-kissed body that smells like the sea. She is referred to as a goddess with dark hair and brown skin, compared to a radiant pearl from the ocean, like Venus emerging from the waves. Her beauty is described as a miracle of creation. When she moves, it's like admiring a nereid or sea nymph who combs her hair with her hands while the wind effortlessly styles it. Her gaze is so powerful that it can leave one disoriented or unsure of what to think or do, as though lost at sea.
Furthermore, the woman is depicted as a tropical storm, with her breasts swaying like palm trees in the wind. This description of the female body is both sensual and provocative, described as an attack on morality. It's a song about admiring beauty, and how it can leave one in awe, but also how it can be intimidating in its power. The tone of the song is passionate and captivating, with a rhythm that's both lively and sensual.
