The group achieved popular recognition in the mid-1990s, with the release of their first album, Frecuencia Cafre. The term «cafre» comes from the Arabic adjective "kafir", which in the first instance means "unfaithful" and which later changed its meaning towards "brutal to the highest degree"; meaning of the term with which the band chooses to identify itself.

Verte Bien
Los Cafres Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Para gritar fuerte

Pasan los años y los sueños
se van cumpliendo solos
Quien me asegura que en la vida
es todo dulzura?
Hay amarguras que no encajan
ni en la locura

Hay que arriesgarse a cruzar ríos
solo son líos
Con tu sal
con mas que tu sangre
Con tu rabia y mas
con todo el desangre

Para gritar fuerte
quiero verte bien,
quiero verte bien

Ya no dependo de amores
para ver dolores
Para brillar no necesito
llenar los rincones
Uno es siempre el culpable
de no conocer su templo
Hay que agarrar lo indispensable
para parar el tiempo
Pon tu sal
o mas que tu sangre
pon tu rabia y mas
todo el desaire

Para gritar fuerte
quiero verte bien

quiero verte bien
Para gritar fuerte

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Cafres's song Verte Bien speak about personal growth, fulfillment, and the courage to face life's challenges. The song begins with the passing of time and the realization that dreams can come true on their own. However, the song also questions the sweetness of life, reminding listeners that bitterness exists and that it cannot be rationalized even in the context of madness. The lyrics then encourage listeners to take risks, to cross rivers and tackle difficulties, even if they are messy. The chorus repeats the phrase, "I want to see you well," perhaps as a way to encourage listeners to take care of themselves, to succeed on their own, and to be proud of their own accomplishments. The song's message is one of optimism and hope, of the possibility of individual achievements and the courage it takes to navigate one's own life.
