T… Read Full Bio ↴The group was born in 1990 when Andrés Calamaro arrived in Spain.
There he teamed up with Argentinean Ariel Rot, who had already played with him in Argentina, and the Spaniard Julian Infante. Rot and Infante had been composers of the youthful group Tequila. The three of them, along with Germán Vilella, - the other Spaniard in the band, - began their tests and small concerts in Madrid.
At first they were going to call the band 'Los Locos', but they soon found out that there was already an Asturian group with that name. The definitive name is due to Calamaro's amusement from the Spanish expression 'to be in Rodriguez' (when the head of a household must stay in the city for work reasons, while his wife and children enjoy themselves at the beach), because he himself was 'in Rodriguez', since he had left his fiancée in Argentina.
After composing their first songs they released their first album in 1991: 'Buena Suerte', which had great acceptance in Argentina, mainly because of Fabiana Cantilo's cover of the song 'Mi Enfermedad'. In Spain, nevertheless, it did not succeed, mainly because the recording company that published it (Passion) went bankrupt soon after the release. In 1992 they released a live album called 'Disco Pirata', with recordings from their Madrid, Barcelona and Caracas shows. In 1993 they again released a studio record, 'Sin Documentos'. In 1995 they released their last studio album 'Palabras Más, Palabras Menos', with famous songs like 'Mucho Mejor' or 'Milonga Del Marinero Y El Capitán'.
After a final tour, the group decided to separate after releasing a greatest hits album entitled 'Hasta Luego'.
7 Segundos
Los Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ella se escribe con sangre
El es parte de un culto "blue"
Y ella empleada del corte
Y juntos, junto a un fuego imaginario
Abren paquetes y entre regalos
Se dan un beso que dura 7 segundos
Y en el cartel que cuelga junto a la cama
El es parte del mundo actual
Ella vive en el futuro
El fue parte del Plan Austral
Y ella es la "jefe del nido"
Y juntos, pero solos, como cadenas
Abren regalos imaginarios
En paquetes que duran 7 segundos
Y como si supieran se ven a los ojos
Uno de ellos no dice nada
Y juntos se quisieron como quisieron
Con el ángel que cuidó tu pelo
Con sonrisas que duran
Y al final de cuentas, eso es lo que cuenta
En tus ojos había tormenta
The song "7 segundos" by Los Rodriguez paints a picture of two individuals who come from different worlds and have different lifestyles. The lyrics tell the story of a man who belongs to a cult known as "blue" and works for Canal Plus, while the woman he is with is an employee of a tailor. Despite these differences, they come together and imagine opening gifts by the fire and sharing a kiss that lasts for just seven seconds. There is a phase on the wall that doesn't say anything, which could symbolize the emptiness that comes as a result of the fleeting nature of their time together.
The second verse of the song continues to describe the differences between the two people. The man is a part of the current world, while the woman lives in a future that nobody can predict. He was involved in Plan Austral, while she is the head of her household. Despite these differences, they still come together and imagine unwrapping imaginary gifts. This time, though, they are alone, like chains that hold them together. The gifts still last only seven seconds, and they can see into each other's eyes, but one of them cannot speak.
Overall, "7 segundos" is a song that speaks to the idea of love being temporary and fleeting. The two people in the song are from different worlds and have different lifestyles, but they still come together for brief moments of happiness. However, the reality of their daily lives is always present, and it seems like their time together might not last.

Que increíble tema, sin duda Andrés Calamaro es mi artista favorito por mucho
Lucas Audisio
Un tema sencillamente hermoso y calmo. Hoy leyendo atentamente la letra hubo algo q me llamo la atención, y era los famosos siete segundos. A que se refería? Tuve una intuicion! Y cuando leí "nido" "fuego" me cerró más. "La inyección intravenosa de heroina proporciona la mayor intensidad y causa la oleada de euforia más rápida (de 7 a 8 segundos).." Y yo que pensaba que era de amor a una persona. Jajaja
