Their first record, “LOS PERICOS” released in 1988 was the best selling album of the year, obtaining Triple Platinum Award for its 180 thousand units sold.
One year later, they recorded KING KONG, produced by Herbert Vianna (OS PARALAMAS DO SUCESSO). Immediately after, they launched Maxi ANFITREU, a vinyl disc that impacted because of its unique style.
In 1990 LOS PERICOS launched their third studio record RAB A DAB STAIL and they went on tour, performing several live concerts around Argentina, highlighting the two shows at the LUNA PARK Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Their 4th album, BIG YUYO, was launched in 1993. In it PERICOS, showed a strongly predominant musical sound reflecting their own identity with songs such as: ME LATE, WAITIN, HACE LO QUE QUIERAS, etc. They caused a surge of popularity across Latin America countries chartering successfully.

In 2004, the Argentinean band with 17 years of successful path, surprised its fans by changing their vocal scheme; with Juanchi Baleiron switching from lead guitar to vocals.
With a completely fresh approach, fuelled by the beginning of a new stage of change and challenge, they presented a live show with a more compact scheme, reinforcing their reggae-rock format.
More than two million records were sold and 1600 live shows performed, rocketing LOS PERICOS as one of the MOST IMPORTANT BANDS in the history of LATIN REGGAE/ROCK.

Si Te Vas
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si te vas.
Ya no te creo
Ya no te espero,
Ya no me importa de que quieras hablar
Ya no te extraño
Mejor marcharse sin mirar hacia atrás
Y si después de tanto peregrinar
Alguna vez nos volvemos a encontrar
Mira mis ojos dime si alguna vez
Por un instante te dejé de adorar
Si te vas de nuevo
No me queda más remedio
Que la libertad,
Si te vas de nuevo
No me queda más remedio
Que la libertad,
Si te vas, si te vas
Te digo que te vas, si te vas
Si te vas
Si te vas...
The lyrics to Los Pericos' "Si Te Vas" are fairly straightforward and express the emotions of someone who has been hurt and is no longer willing to put up with a toxic relationship. The song opens with the repeated phrase "Si te vas" (If you go), creating a sense of finality and inevitability. The singer then goes on to say that they no longer believe or wait for the other person, and that they don't care what they have to say. They also claim to no longer miss or deceive the other person and that it's better to walk away without looking back.
The bridge of the song changes the tone slightly, revealing that despite all of this, there may still be some love left between the two. The singer asks if, in the event that they were to meet again after all their wanderings, they would still love the other person. This moment of vulnerability adds depth to the song and shows that the singer's decision to walk away was not an easy one.
The chorus then returns, repeating the phrase "Si te vas" and emphasizing that if the other person decides to leave again, the only option left for the singer is freedom.
Overall, "Si Te Vas" is a powerful song that explores the complexities of love and the sometimes difficult decisions we have to make in order to protect ourselves.

Si te vas te dejare partir
sin mirar si quiera para atras
sin saber que camino tomar
es asi todo tiene un final
que mas da volver siempre a empezar
sin rencor fingiendo que no estas
Miro a mi al rededor tratando
de buscarte apresurado
corro hacia el lugar que te bese
quiero tenerte a mi lado
el dulce sueño fue que al despertar
se te rumbo bajo mi almuada
Rompe el mar, mar que viene y se va
como vos dejando todo atras
piedra y sal tristeza y soledad
Si te vas te dejare partir
sin mirar si quiera para atras
sin saber que camino tomar
Miro a mi al rededor tratando
de buscarte apresurado
corro hacia el lugar que te bese
quiero tenerte a mi lado
el dulce sueño fue que al despertar
se te rumbo bajo mi almuada
Tristeza da la realidad tengo que comprender
que ya no ahi nada, no ahi nada...
tristeza da la realidad tengo que comprender
que ya no ahi nada, nada...
Miro a mi al rededor tratando
de buscarte apresurado
corro hacia el lugar que te bese
quiero tenerte a mi lado
el dulce sueño fue que al despertar
se te rumbo bajo mi almuada
