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.

Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
voy, voy caminando lento
oh no, ya no me apures
voy, voy caminando lento hoy.
why asi va mejor
me cabe el calor,
que bueno el color
Despacio voy bien
why de lo mejor,
despacio que bien
en todo lo que hago yo.
Oh no why sin apuro
voy, voy caminando lento
oh no, ya no me apures
voy, voy caminando lento hoy.
Siento mis pies
flotar why flotar,
que bien que me
cae cuando salgo a caminar.
Quedamos asi
aqui vos why yo,
parados los dos
hasta que aparezca el sol,
el sol, el sol.
Oh no why sin apuro
voy, voy caminando lento
oh no, ya no me apures
voy, voy caminando lento hoy.
The lyrics of Los Pericos's song "Voy caminando lento" translate to "Oh no, why without hurry, I'm walking slowly. Oh no, don't hurry me anymore, today I'm walking slowly." The song seems to be about the value of taking things slowly and enjoying the present moment. The singer emphasizes that walking slowly is better for him and that he enjoys feeling the sun on his face. He also says that he feels his feet floating while walking and that he appreciates the sensation that he gets while walking.
The lyrics suggest that the singer prefers to take things slow and not rush through life. In our fast-paced world, where everyone is busy and in a hurry, the song speaks to the importance of slowing down and taking time to appreciate the simple things in life. The singer seems to be urging the listener to do the same and enjoy the present moment.
Los Pericos is a reggae and ska band from Argentina, and "Voy caminando lento" is one of their most popular songs. The song was released in 1992 as a single and was included on their album "Big Yuyo." The song has since become a classic in Latin American music and is often played on radio stations in the region.
