In 1973 they formed Los Pasteles Verdes with singer German Laos, drummer Jorge Luis Principe, bassist Miguel Moreno, and percussionist Juan Vásquez. In 1974, another singer, Aldo Guibovich, joined the group. Their first hit, a success across Latin America, was "Angelitos Negros", which preceded the release of their debut Recuerdos de Una Noche.[ Among their later hits were "Hipocresia" and "Esclavo y Amo".
The group made a significant impact on the Mexican and Mexican-American musical markets in the late 1970s. For part of the 1970s and 1980s they were based out of Mexico. They toured Japan in 2007
Ruega Por Nosotros
Los Pasteles Verdes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ante tu altar
Hoy vengo a suplicarte
A rogar por el alma
De mi amada
Que la muerte tan cruel
Me arrebatara
Yo se que tu poder es infinito
Y con ricos ricos
Y es por eso
Que en ti busco el consuelo
Para este corazón marchitado
Si estoy dormido la sueño
Si estoy despierto la miro
Y por donde quiera que ando
Su recuerdo va conmigo
Llorando paso las noches
Paso las noches llorando
Para mi ya el sol no brilla
Entre sombras voy vagando
Señor eterno Dios
Ante tu altar
Estoy aqui de inojos
Ella se fue
Y yo quiero morirme
Perdoname señor
Y ruega por nosotros
The lyrics of "Ruega Por Nosotros" by Los Pasteles Verdes express a deep and profound sense of grief and longing for a lost loved one. The singer addresses God directly, acknowledging His eternal power and omnipresent nature as he supplicates himself before the altar. He is seeking help and solace for the soul of his beloved, who was taken away cruelly by death. The singer is inconsolable, but he turns to God as his last source of hope to heal his shattered heart.
He describes how the memory of his loved one haunts him everywhere he goes, keeping her alive in his heart even though she is no longer with him in the physical world. The singer is consumed by his grief and despair, spending sleepless nights crying and wandering through life aimlessly. He is so consumed by his pain that he no longer sees any light in his life, and he just wants to die to be reunited with his loved one.
Overall, the song is an expression of deep sorrow and despair, but it also conveys a sense of hope and faith in God's ability to heal and comfort our souls in times of pain and loss. It is a poignant reminder that, in the face of life's most tragic moments, we can turn to God for strength and courage to get through even the darkest times.
