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.
La Primera Vez
Los Tres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El poder que ahora te pudre
Pediste mil favores
Y dijiste algo más
La cabeza entre las piernas
Ya tratabas de agradarles
Estabas preparado
No pediste perdón
A nadie
Esta es mi primera vez
Nauseabundo de traiciones
Vomitaste en sus caras
Y no pensaste
Que tal vez
Volverían por tí
Esas calles se nublaron
Se perdieron en la sombra
Del remordimiento
Que ahora te hace caer
Nunca he deseado mal
A nadie
Esta es mi primera vez
Nunca he deseado mal
A nadie
Esta es mi primera vez
Esas calles se nublaron
Se perdieron en la sombra
Del remordimiento
Que ahora te hace caer
Y yo quiero que te caigas
Y que caigas de rodillas
Te escupan en la cara
Y que sepas morir
Nunca he deseado mal a nadie
Esta es mi primera vez
The song La Primera Vez by Los Tres is a hard-hitting reflection on a person's first time experiencing the corrupting influence of power. The lyrics describe a person who began their journey by begging for favors and trying to appease those in power, eventually leading to an inevitable downfall. The first verse paints a picture of a person who is willing to do whatever it takes to gain power, even if it means sacrificing their own dignity. The lyrics "La cabeza entre las piernas" refer to the person's willingness to perform sexual acts to gain favor.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Nunca he deseado mal a nadie, esta es mi primera vez" which roughly translates to "I've never wished harm on anyone, this is my first time" reflecting a person who is just starting to realize the extent of their actions. The second verse describes the aftermath of the person's fall from grace, where they are left alone, surrounded by their own shame and regret. The lyrics "Vomitaste en sus caras" literally means "you vomited in their faces" and symbolizes the person's disgust with themselves and the realization of the reality they created.
The final verse is the most intense, with the singer wishing for the person's ultimate downfall and humiliation, hoping that they get what they deserve. The song's lyrics serve as a warning about the corrupting influence of power and the consequences that come with it.
