Andrés Calamaro les produjo el debut discográficoen 1991.
Le siguió "Tierra bendita" (1993), en el cual algunas variantes en sus integrantes no incidieron demasiado en el sonido del grupo. Los Rancheros lograron salir de gira por los países limítrofes, donde repitieron el éxito alcanzado en el interior de la Argentina.
"Ni por todo el oro del mundo" (1995) fue lanzado también en toda Latinoamérica y en Estados Unidos, donde fue censurado el tema "El Che y los Rolling Stones".
"Supernova" fue grabado en Los Angeles en 1996 y presentado en las cadenas musicales internacionales con el videoclip "Sin solución".
En el 2006, luego de casi seis años de separación, Meno Fernández y Gabbanelli rearmaron la banda para un nuevo disco, registrado en los Estudios Panda. Para ése material anuncian la participación de Gabriel Carámbula, Ale Sergi (Miranda), David Lebón y Mario Alvarez Quiroga.
Bailando Con el Abogado
Los Rancheros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin saber por que
Esta bien ahora, muerta y fría
Yo no la mate.
Aquí esta mi revolver
El hablara por mi.
Hoy venia de mis vacaciones
Con un balazo en la cabeza
Y sangre entre los pies.
Esta bien si me apuran,
Todo les contare.
Si salía y la dejaba sola
Venían como diez,
El jardinero y el electricista
Y el de la TV.
Presentía que esto
No iba a terminar bien, no.
Hey, hey, hey, hey si no la mate,
Hey, hey, hey, hey no soy un asesino,
Hey, hey, hey, hey si no la mate.
Condenado a 500 años
Con opción a 100,
Esta bien ahora, muerta y fría
Yo no la mate.
Como iba a imaginarme
Que era la amante del juez.
The song "Bailando Con el Abogado" by Los Rancheros tells a story about a man who has just spent four hours with his lawyer, unsure of why he is there. As he enters the song, the singer tries to convince the listener that he did not kill someone - most likely his lover - and that it wasn't him who pulled the trigger. Despite the presence of a revolver, the man insists that he is innocent and that the gun will speak for him.
Later on, the story climaxes with a dramatic revelation: the man's lover has been killed with a gunshot to the head. The singer stumbled upon the body, covered in blood, while returning from his holiday. Suddenly, the lyrics take on a new light, and the story becomes a desperate attempt by the singer to clear his name. He explains that he had planned on leaving his lover alone, but he sensed that something was wrong. Then, as he attempted to absolve himself of guilt, he reveals that the woman was the judge's mistress.
"Bailando Con el Abogado" is a song that leaves a lot of questions unanswered. It is clear that the singer is involved in some sort of criminal activity, but the listener is left in the dark about the specifics. Nonetheless, the song is compelling because of its storytelling quality and the way it builds suspense. The chorus phrases, "Hey, hey, hey, hey si no la mate," reinforce the singer's insistence that he didn't kill anyone.
