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).

Miranda! Lyrics

Tus ataques de locura cuando nadie lo esperaba
El reflejo de la luna en tus gafas espejadas
Lo imposible de tu amor
Pero también extraño tu llegada
Y el sabor a cigarrillo que tu beso me dejaba
Enroscarnos y dormirnos con las sabanas mojadas
Lo que no se es lo que quiero
Lo vuelvo a hacer y me enveneno
Enloquecer es soledad es mi destino
Discúlpame si con esto te deprimo
Porque también extraño
Abandonarme al universo del engaño
Irnos de viaje y renovar nuestro vestuario
Y me hago cargo, nena te extraño pero no tanto
Extraño el paraíso de tu cara
Con los ojos achinados
La sonrisa desplegada
La melena despeinada
La actitud exagerada
El sonido de tu voz
Lo que no se es lo que quiero
Lo vuelvo a hacer y me enveneno
Enloquecer es soledad es mi destino
Discúlpame si con esto te deprimo
No soy cobarde ni valiente
Solo lo siento diferente
Contradecirme en mi discurso es mi fuerte
Aceptare lo que me tenga la suerte
Porque también extraño
Abandonarme al universo del engaño
Irnos de viaje y renovar nuestro vestuario
Y me hago cargo, nena te extraño pero no tanto
También extraño
Abandonarme al universo del engaño
Irnos de viaje y renovar nuestro vestuario
Y me hago cargo, nena te extraño pero no tanto
Y ya no quiero provocar el desencanto
Con tanta risa, con tanto llanto
Pero me muero por saber que estas pensando
Cuando la lluvia te esta mojando
También extraño extraño
Oh extraño y me hago cargo nena te extraño
Pero no tanto pero no tanto
In the song "Extraño" by Miranda!, the lyrics express the mixed emotions of missing someone. The line "Extraño tus pasiones desatadas" refers to missing the person's wild and impulsive behavior, even if it was unexpected. The following line "El reflejo de la luna en tus gafas espejadas" creates a romantic ambiance, implying that the person misses the moments spent with their partner, staring at each other under the moonlight.
The song takes a nostalgic turn as the lyrics describe the memories that are missed, such as the taste of their kiss leaving the flavor of cigarettes or the sound of the person's voice. The chorus brings a conflicting perspective as the lyrics state "Lo que no se es lo que quiero" (What I do not know, is what I want), and the singer seems to be confused about their desires. The singer apologizes if their words bring sorrow, indicating that their mixed feelings might be hurting the other person, but ultimately confesses that they do miss them, but not as much as before.
In short, the lyrics translate into a conflict of emotions, as one remembers the good and bad times, misses their presence, but is not sure if it is enough to bring them back.
