In 1984 the band added two new members: Sergio Embroni (guitar and vocals) and Tito Dávila (keyboard). As a quintet they published the disc "Los Enanitos Verdes", with the hit "Aún sigo cantando" (I'm still singing). Embrioni left the band in 1985.
In 1986 they published their second album, entitled "Contrarreloj" (Against the Clock), with the artistic production of Andrés Calamaro. The album included songs such as Tus viejas cartas ("Your old letters"), Cada vez que digo adiós ("Every time I say goodbye"), and La muralla verde ("The green wall"). Their third album "Habitaciones extrañas" (Strange rooms) would arrive the following year. Produced again by Calamaro, it included Te vi en un tren ("I saw you in a train"), Por el resto ("For the rest") and El extraño de pelo largo ("The stranger with the long hair").
In 1988 they did an extensive tour, following in the footsteps of Miguel Mateos/Zas and Soda Stereo. During six months three particular concerts stood out: Viña del Mar (50,000 spectators), Mendoza, Argentina (35,000) and Santiago, Chile (32,000). In that same year they published their new LP, "Carrousel". The song "Guitarras blancas" (white guitars) became one of the main hits of the album. A year later the group broke up, with Marciano Cantero starting his solo career. In 1992, the group got back together, recording the album "Igual que ayer" (Same as Yesterday).
After recording four more albums, in 1998 they released their album "Tracción acústica", with the US record company Polygram. This album made them the first Argentine group and third Argentine artist to sign with a US company. This album was nominated for the Grammies in the category "Best Latin Rock Album."
They were part of the Watcha Tour 2000, which included 17 shows along with Molotov, Aterciopelados, Café Tacuba and A.N.I.M.A.L.
In 2003, they went on tour with Alejandra Guzman. They have, among other things, earned a Gaviota de Plata (Silver Gull) at the Festival de Viña del Mar in Chile. That same year they recorded their album "Amores Lejanos" with their hit single "Tu Carcel"(Your Jail) which became a classic song in all latin america, and was also sung by many great singers including Mexican composer Marco Antonio Solis.
Tu Carcel
Los Enanitos Verdes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si así lo quieres, ¿qué puedo yo hacer?
Tu vanidad no te deja entender
Que en la pobreza se sabe querer
Quiero llorar
Y me destroza que pienses así
Y más que ahora me quedé sin ti
Pero recuerda
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Más de mil cosas mejores tendrás
Pero cariño sincero, jamás
Vete olvidando
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
Quiero llorar
Y me destroza que pienses así
Y más que ahora me quedé sin ti
Me duele lo que tú vas a sufrir
Pero recuerda
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Más de mil cosas mejores tendrás
Pero cariño sincero, jamás
Vete olvidando
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
Pero recuerda
Nadie es perfecto y tú lo verás
Más de mil cosas mejores tendrás
Pero cariño sincero, jamás
Vete olvidando
De eso que hoy dejas y que cambiarás
Por la aventura que tú ya verás
Será tu cárcel y nunca saldrás
