The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Debbie Harry, Mick Jones, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single "Matador", in what probably was the peak of popularity of the band. On September 29 of that year they produced an MTV Unplugged concert. The Cadillacs also won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album, and were nominated in the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards for Best Band and Best Music Video ("La Vida"), which received the now-defunct International Viewer's Choice Award (Southern Region) at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
El Impacto
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Debió de haber sido yo
El que estaba en aquel auto
El impacto, en la ruta
Si soñé con mi final
Desde chico siempre supe cuando seria mi fin
Solo donde andarás
Serás un infierno
No tenía que ser el
Él que estaba en aquel auto
Ni condena salvación
El momento del impactó
Viajar veloz, querer llegar
Viajar veloz, querer llegar
No tenía que ser solo
Debía haber sido yo
El que estaba en aquel auto
El impacto
The lyrics of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs' song "El Impacto" tell a story of introspection and existential contemplation. The singer reflects on a car accident, imagining that it could have been them instead of someone else involved in the crash. They acknowledge that they had always had a premonition about their own mortality, constantly aware of the eventual end. The singer wonders about the person who survived the accident, pondering whether their life will become a living hell or a salvation.
These lyrics delve into themes of fate, mortality, and the uncertainty of life. The singer grapples with the idea that they could have been the one affected by the impact, prompting them to question their own existence and purpose. The song captures a sense of questioning one's own mortality and the impact it has on their perspective on life.
