Band members are Álvaro Henríquez (vocals and guitar), Ángel Parra (guitar, lapsteel and backing vocals), Roberto Lindl (bass, double bass and accordion) and Francisco Molina (drums and percussion). Their first album was released in 1991.

In 1982, three guys from Concepción, Álvaro Henríquez, Roberto Titae Lindl, and Pancho Molina started a band called Los Dick Stones, whose set list was based on songs by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Gene Vincent. They quickly became very popular in universities, bars, and peñas around the southern city of Concepción. Given their ambition to achieve success in the Chilean mainstream, they decided to move to the capital city of Santiago and changed their name to Los Tres. In 1988 Ángel Parra joined the band and even though Los Tres is Spanish for "the three", they decided to keep the name.

During years when culture and art began to rise again -after the cultural and night life had been reduced for almost 20 years due to the military regime that had ruled Chile since 1973-, the times were right for their music to develop and their popularity to grow. They recorded 9 albums during their first stage together, from 1982 until 2000.

In 2000 the band went into an indefinite break and its members continued their musical careers in personal projects.

On 2006 Los Tres, with the exception of Pancho Molina, announced their reunion including a show in May, the festival Vive Latino in Mexico City, and a show in Santiago de Chile. The first single Camino was already released. Their tenth album (Hágalo usted mismo) was a result of this reunion. The band is still together.

Alguien Como Tu
Los Tres Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Habiendo derramado
Casi toda tu existencia
Te voy a decir
Lo que no quieres oír

Desastre por naturaleza
Hematoma en la cabeza
Y no podrás odiar

A quien quisiste amar

Siempre te quedó bien la soledad
No insistas en buscar
Donde ya no hay nada
Donde ya no hay nada

El sol pega tan fuerte hoy
Que hasta tu puedes ver
Adonde empieza el mar
Y donde está el final

Siempre te quedó bien la soledad
No insistas en buscar
Donde ya no hay nada

Trataste de volver
Y ver la luz
No queda esperanzas
Para alguien como tú

Alguien como tú

Alguien como tú
Alguien como tú

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Tres's song Alguien Como Tu are a poignant reminder of the painful reality of lost love and the struggle to move on. The opening lines "Habiendo derramado / Casi toda tu existencia / Te voy a decir / Lo que no quieres oír" translate to "Having spilled almost all of your existence / I'm going to say to you / What you don't want to hear". The song talks about someone who has poured out so much of themselves into a relationship with someone they loved, only to find out that it wasn't reciprocated in the same way. The lines "Desastre por naturaleza / Hematoma en la cabeza / Y no podrás odiar / A quien quisiste amar" mean "A disaster by nature / Hematoma on the head / And you won't be able to hate / The one you wanted to love". The singer realizes that they can't hate the person who hurt them because they loved them so deeply.

The chorus "Siempre te quedó bien la soledad / No insistas en buscar / Donde ya no hay nada / Donde ya no hay nada / El sol pega tan fuerte hoy / Que hasta tu puedes ver / Adonde empieza el mar / Y donde está el final" translates to "You were always good with solitude / Don't insist on looking / Where there is nothing anymore / Where there is nothing anymore / The sun beats so hard today / That even you can see / Where the sea begins / And where it ends". The singer acknowledges that they were always comfortable being alone, but they can't keep searching for something that doesn't exist anymore. The haunting repetition of "Alguien como tu" at the end of the song only serves to emphasize the loneliness and heartbreak of the singer.

Overall, the lyrics of Alguien Como Tu are a raw and emotional exploration of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The language used is simple and direct, but the pain and longing in the words resonate deeply with anyone who has experienced the same kind of heartbreak.
