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'.
La Mirada Del Adios
Los Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yo sólo buscaba la mirada del adiós
siempre te escapabas y no hubo ni siquiere
esa mirada del adiós entre los dos
Cuando me dí vuelta ya no estabas
yo solo buscaba la mirada del adiós
siempre te escapabas y no hubo ni siquiera
Es una cuestión de amor extraño
de amor a pesar de todo
pido por favor una dosis de amor
que nos parta en dos a los 2
cuando me di la vuelta ya no estabas
yo sólo buscaba la mirada del adiós
siempre te escapabas y no hubo ni siquiera
esa mirada del adiós entre los dos
Es una cuestión de amor extraños
de amor a pesar de todo
pido por favor una dosis de amor
que nos parta en dos a los2
cuando me di vuelta ya no estabas
y sólo buscaba...
aquélla mirada!
siempre te escapabas y no hubo ni siquiera
esa mirada del adiós entre los dos
The Los Rodriguez's song "La Mirada Del Adiós" is about a love that has come to an end. The singer is searching for closure and a final moment of connection with his partner. He mentions that every time he turns around, she is no longer there. He is desperate for a "look of goodbye" between them, but she always manages to escape before he can see it. It's a strange kind of love, but he still loves her nonetheless. He asks for a final dose of love that will bring them both closure and help them move on from the relationship. The lyrics evoke a deep sadness and a longing for something that is just out of reach.
The song's message is universal and speaks to anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship. It captures the feelings of regret, sorrow, and longing that are common during these times. The lyrics are simple, yet powerful, and are accompanied by an upbeat melody that creates a contrast with the sad tone of the lyrics.
