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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para que quememos en el la raiz de nuestros recuerdos
Asi poder, poderte soltar
Hoy voy a saber cual era el secreto
Lo que nos hacia reir y pelear como cachorros sin miedo
Para poder, poderte soltar
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
Voy a aprender a verte partir
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
Si es que vas a andar bagando solo
Que seas un santo sin cruz
Hoy voy a cantar las ultimas notas
Para que puedas escuchar la verdad que cae como gota
Asi podes, podes escapar
Voy a aprender a verte partir
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
Voy a aprender a verte partir
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
Si es que vas a andar bagando solo
Que seas un santo sin cruz
Voy a aprender a verte partir
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
Voy a aprender a verte partir
Nuestro deber, es dejarte de ir
