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'.
Una Forma De Vida
Los Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
saqué algunas palomas de algún sombrero,
soy uno más del montón en la máquina del tiempo...
Nunca digo la verdad pero nunca miento...
Todavía tengo un poco de corazón!
No me acuerdo la letra de nuestra canción,
pero tengo un billete de ida...
porque para mí vivir es una...
Gasté muchas botas y mucho cenicero,
volver, volver y partir primero.
Un simple peatón buscando sentimiento.
Nunca digo la verdad, pero nunca miento.
Me queda un poco de inspiración,
alguna pistola en algún cajón.
Pero está bien escondida
porque para mí vivir es una forma de vida,
porque para mí vivir es una...
Tengo nueva televisión
le tengo reservado el mejor rincón
y estará siempre encendida,
porque para mí vivir es una forma de vida,
porque para mí vivir es una
Porque para mí vivir:
es una forma de vida!
The lyrics of "Una Forma De Vida" by Los Rodriguez reflect the life of a person who has gone through many experiences, spent a lot of time and money, and yet remains just a simple person in the "machine of time". This person is someone who never tells the whole truth but never completely lies either. Despite all of this, they have a little bit of heart left that they still hold onto. The person may have forgotten the lyrics to a song that was once important to them, but they still have a one-way ticket to life, and that is what matters to them.
The song portrays a person who has lived their life with the understanding that living is not just about accumulating wealth, but rather it's about enjoying every moment and living for the joy of living. They have gone through struggles and tough times, but they still have faith that there is more to life, and they hold onto that faith. The song also talks about simple pleasures, such as watching television, as a way of enjoying life. This person has come to realize that they don't need extravagant things to live their life to the fullest.
