Their first album was Esta vida me va a matar, including songs such as Peligrosa María or Viene el tren. However, the most important was the third one, the successful Ese día piensa en mí (1989), including songs such as Dolores se llamaba Lola and No puedo dejar el Rock.
Although they're not a best-selling band, they're sort of a legend all around Spain, with many loyal supporters.
The latest news is from february 2007. Alberto Cereijo, the lead guitarist, announced on his website the last tour with the current line-up; but that doesn't mean they're going to give up for now !
Cuando La Música Termina
Los Suaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y finaliza el show,
en el sucio back-stage,
se enfría el sudor.
Las luces se apagan,
un foco en un rincón,
trastienda del rock and roll,
Tanto os he querido,
y ahora solo me dejáis,
resuenan mis oídos,
¿es qué he vuelto a soñar?
Guitarras en silencio,
silencio en el local,
se acaba la fiesta,
comienza el funeral.
Y así todas las noches,
terminas de tocar,
queda algún amigo que,
te quiere animar.
Se llenan los vasos,
y tratas de olvidar,
y no pensar lo triste que es,
cuando os marcháis.
Aquí acaba la historia,
del fin de un recital,
aunque todo vaya bien,
qué triste es el final.
Una vez me dijeron,
por favor escuchad,
que la mayor tristeza es ver,
a un amigo marchar.

La música termina,
The music comes to an end
y finaliza el show,
And the show is over
en el sucio back-stage,
In the dirty back-stage
se enfría el sudor.
The sweat cools down
Las luces se apagan,
The lights turn off
un foco en un rincón,
A spotlight in a corner
trastienda del rock and roll,
The backroom of rock and roll
el fin de la función.
The end of the show
Tanto os he querido,
I have loved you so much
y ahora solo me dejáis,
And now you just leave me
resuenan mis oídos,
My ears are ringing
¿es qué he vuelto a soñar?
Did I dream again?
Guitarras en silencio,
Guitars are silent
silencio en el local,
Silence in the venue
se acaba la fiesta,
The party is over
comienza el funeral.
The funeral begins
Y así todas las noches,
And so every night
terminas de tocar,
You finish playing
queda algún amigo que,
Some friend remains
te quiere animar.
Who wants to cheer you up
Se llenan los vasos,
Glasses are filled
y tratas de olvidar,
And you try to forget
y no pensar lo triste que es,
And not think about how sad it is
cuando os marcháis.
When you leave
Aquí acaba la historia,
Here ends the story
del fin de un recital,
Of the end of a concert
aunque todo vaya bien,
Even though everything goes well
qué triste es el final.
How sad is the ending
Una vez me dijeron,
I was told once
por favor escuchad,
Please listen
que la mayor tristeza es ver,
That the greatest sorrow is to see
a un amigo marchar.
A friend leaving.
