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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y brilla el agua de tu piel
Hoy las retamas y los lirios
Se ríen porque te vuelvo a ver
Y si una flor se ríe es que hay amor
Y si un árbol ríe es que hay amor
Se llena toda el alma miá
Si me vuelo un día por amor
No llores que todo es fantasía
Y si una flor se ríe es que hay amor
Y si un árbol ríe es que hay amor
Se llena toda el alma mía
Y si convoco el día por amor
Si me vuelo un día por amor
No llores que todo es fantasía
In Los Autenticos Decadentes's song Una Gota De Rocío, the lyrics describe a person's joy and excitement after being reunited with their loved one. The first line of the song, “Hay una gota de rocío” (There is a drop of dew), sets the tone for the rest of the song. The dew symbolizes the newness and freshness of the reunion between the singer and their love interest. When the singer sees the water on the skin of their loved one, the retamas (broom plants) and lirios (lilies) in the surroundings seem to laugh with joy as well. The lyrics describe the sense of fulfillment and completeness the singer feels in being with their beloved.
The chorus repeats the message that where there is love, there is laughter and happiness. The singer fills their soul with love, and they will stop at nothing to show it. They would even call upon the daytime if they could, simply to experience the love and happiness that comes with it. The song ends by reassuring listeners that all of this is real, and there is no need to lament or cry, because all of it is just fantasy.
Overall, the song's lyrics are about the power of love to bring joy and laughter into our lives, even in the simplest of moments. It is a celebration of love and the beauty that comes with it, reminding us that love is the one true thing that can make everything else in life seem like a mere fantasy.
