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.
Que Le Vamo' A Hacer
Los Auténticos Decadentes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me propuso una noche de placer
En sus juegos pervertidos
Todos salen mal heridos
Nadie puede dominarla
Sus caderas te desarman
Era atrevida, era atrevida
Esa hembra
Al poco tiempo
De vivir con ella
Me di cuenta que no era
Para mi
Arrasó con mi heladera
Se llevó mi billetera
Ahora vendo chocolate por ahí
Con maní
Que le vamo' a hacer
Que le vamo' a hacer
No es para mí, no era para mí
Ay mi dios vení, sacame de aquí
Yo me equivoqué, este es el fin
Voy dando vueltas por este mundo
Pisando el cielo llegando al fondo
En esta feria encontrás de todo
Hay mucha oferta pero poco oro
Yo no sabía, no lo creía
Parecía una chica divertida
Tené cuidado con esas minas
Que te prometen y te dejan en la vía
