Band members … Read Full Bio ↴Miranda! is an Argentinean electropop band formed in 2002.
Band members include Alejandro Sergi (vocals), Juliana Gattas (vocals), Lolo Fuentes (guitar) and Bruno de Vicenti(programming, who later on left the band. Now they are also performing with Monoto, the new bassist.

The History of Miranda! begins in 2002, when Alejandro Sergi decided to join Juliana Gattas, Lolo Fuentes and Bruno de Vicentis and start a "techno pop" music band, though they were classified as a rock band. When they began to play around the Buenos Aires Underground, they started playing their music in different places, making their number of followers grow at each performance.

Their first CD was Es Mentira (Spanish for It's a Lie). It consisted of ten songs.
In 2004 Miranda! edited their second studio album, called Sin Restricciones (Without Restrictions), made up of twelve songs, including Yo te diré (I'll Tell You), Don (Gift) El Profe (The Teacher) and Navidad (Christmas) as its highlights.

The band was named after the Argentinian actor Osvaldo Miranda. Since the band began playing, they wanted to meet Osvaldo Miranda. This finally took place during the Buen Día Arriba festival, in December 2002, in a bar near a park at Palermo Viejo.

The band combines love themes, nice ballads, and electronic waltzes mixed with some of sexual desire, creating very dance-able songs and carefully prepared shows.

There is a big controversy regarding the sexual content in some of Miranda!'s songs' lyrics, mostly in El Profe ("The Teacher" in English) – which was released as a single; and is about a male teacher fantasizing about sexualy abusing one of his female students, probably suggesting pedophilia in the verse "Quisiera que me mientas cuando pregunte tu edad" (I wish you would lie to me when I ask you your age) and also "Quiero que te toques para mi, quiero tocarme y acabar en ti" (I want you to touch yourself for me, I want to touch me and end up on you).

Es Por Él
Miranda! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es por él, que a veces no me duermo
Es por él, que pensando me pierdo
Este amor, si que me revolucionó

Hoy lo vi y me quede temblando
Me escondí, venía caminando hacia mí
El cielo creo que cayó

Estoy amándolo en silencio desde que lo crucé
Escribo en diarios lo que siento ya no se para que
Si pareciera que me teme
Si me ve, Si me ve

Como la música no para
Voy a decírselo a la cara
Pero se va Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho

Como la fiesta está prendida
No voy a darle alternativa
Pero se va Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, pero se va

Quiero ir por todo y encontrarlo
O fingir que puedo ignorarlo
Ya no se porque estará escondiéndose

Este amor acaba con mi vida
Este amor no me deja salida
Este amor terminará matándome

Y cuando muera estoy segura que me presta atención
Y me revive con un beso para darle mi amor
Estoy aquí solo por eso
Mírame, mírame

Como la música no para
Voy a decírselo a la cara
Pero se va Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho

Como la fiesta está prendida
No voy a darle alternativa
Pero se va Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, pero se va

Pero se va Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, pero se va

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Miranda!'s Es Por Él speak to the emotional turmoil that comes with being in love with someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. The singer can't sleep because of the person they love; their thoughts are consumed with them, and their life feels like it's been turned upside down by this overwhelming feeling. The singer has been in love with this person for a long time and even writes about their feelings in a journal, although they feel like it's pointless because the person they love seems to be afraid of them or, at the very least, uncomfortable in their presence.

The second half of the song finds the singer finally coming face to face with the object of their affection. They decide to be bold and express their feelings, but the person they love quickly leaves, leaving the singer feeling powerless and rejected. Despite this painful outcome, the singer vows to keep loving this person even if it means it will ultimately "kill" them. The catchy chorus repeats the phrase "pero se va" ("but they leave"), emphasizing the singer's sense of helplessness in the face of unrequited love.

Overall, Es Por Él is a poignant exploration of the pain that comes with loving someone who may never love you back. It's about the sense of hopelessness that can come with unrequited love and how it can consume every aspect of a person's life until there seems to be no way out.
