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'.
Cuanto T Has Ido
Los Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La cosa está tomando mucho brillo
No se acabaron los problemas
Es solamente una cuestión de moneda
Quien reconoce cuando ha perdido
Algo en el aire huele a podrido
Un medicamento prohibido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Todavía estoy dormido
Valen más tres horas tuyas que un segundo mío
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Nunca termina la carretera
Después de haber viajado la noche entera
Se me escapa como la arena
La solución de todos mis problemas
Es solamente una cuestión de moneda
Eres más difícil de encontrar
Que una concha en el medio del mar
Valen más tres horas tuyas que un segundo mío
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Con dos duros en el bolsillo la
Cosa está tomando mucho brillo
Soy del continente prohibido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
No me esperes una eternidad
Todavía estoy dormido
Valen más tres horas tuyas que un segundo mío
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido
The lyrics of Los Rodríguez's song "Cuanto Te Has Ido" depict a sense of longing, regret, and a feeling of emptiness when someone leaves. The opening lines, "Con dos duros en el bolsillo / La cosa está tomando mucho brillo," suggest that despite having some money, there is still a void in the singer's life. It implies that money cannot solve all problems and that something deeper is missing.
The mention of a forbidden medication indicates a sense of self-destruction or reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms when feeling alone and abandoned. The line "Me siento muy mal cuando te has ido" reflects the pain and sadness felt when the person being addressed has left. It emphasizes the emotional impact of their absence.
The lyrics also emphasize the inconsolable nature of the singer's longing. The line "Valen más tres horas tuyas que un segundo mío" portrays the importance and value placed on the presence and companionship of the person who left. It suggests that even a short time with them is worth more than any personal time spent alone. The comparison of finding them to finding a shell in the middle of the sea highlights the difficulty and rarity of this person's presence in the singer's life.
Overall, "Cuanto Te Has Ido" explores themes of loneliness, longing, and the emptiness that accompanies the departure of a significant person. It portrays the emotional struggle of the singer as they try to navigate their feelings and find solace in the midst of their absence.
