Niña began in the spring of 1996 as a game for a group of teenagers, friends who dreamed of forming a rock band and performing in live concerts. During the first years, this group of friends began stretching their musical “wings" on some home-made cassettes. They begin composing, recording playing and distributing their material – ok, mostly to family and friends, but a market is a market! By the year 2000, composing and playing was no longer a game for the group of friends, but rather a need to search for and create new ways to express themselves musically. They began to perform in a variety of places, regardless of how unusual or the number of people in the audience.
The noise they made began to insinuate itself into the Monterrey music scene and began expanding into other cities, and surprisingly, at least to some cynics, into other countries. By 2003, the project became something more when a series of recordings was complied and edited locally. Niña’s first album R.O.C.K began as a compilation of the best recordings at that time, and was distributed by hand from friend to friend – almost like secret documents.
The number of Niña fans increased thanks to songs like Candy”, “Hollywood”, “Godzilla”, “Atari”, “Arena Azul, “Chubaca tiene un Secreto” and “Ella Es Mi Disco”. In 2004, Niña decides to formalize the friends’ project into something more solid, becoming a dedicated band. Then came the arduous process of composing and recording their next records. 2006 was a key year for the group, as it was the first time their music was produced professionally in their album “Laredo Love”, which included classic songs from Niña’s repertory like “Sistema Pefecto” and “9 Gigas Fantasmas”. That same year the EP “Levantate Sakuraba” was released as an introduction to the album “Punk Robot”. In 2008, “Punk Robot” gave Niña the audience it had been waiting for. With the help of musical videos and important public presentations, Niña slowly became a “force to be reckoned with”. Niña was no longer a secret”. With their participation in important music festivals such as Vive Latino” and Rockarga”, Niña was able to give their fans what they had been looking for a chance to sing along with the group. The lyrics were already well known to hard-core fans, and soon became familiar to all the new fans garnered in these and other performances. After experiencing the grueling work of recording sessions, in October of 2008, Niña decided to do live recording of the first song ever written by Niña Primavera de 96”, composed by Alejandro Isassi. This experience was almost perfect for the quartet, and was a factor in helping them decide to record the following album in the same style. Fans can enjoy “Primavera del 96” on Compilation V by Happy Fi Records: Coyote Nights. Takin us to their new ep called willie nelson vs Ralph macchio including 6 new songs all produced, mixed by niña. Niña has participated in several international festivals, including SXSW in Austin, Texas, in “Motorokr” and in Vive Latino” in Mexico City. Niña’s live performances are recommended, as the energy and enthusiasm of the group on stage is contagious, and the songs in their extensive repertory are catchy and fan favorites

Hey!
Niña Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tout seul tu sais à force de me laisser J'apprendrais à vivre sans toi
Je te laisserai dériver sans moi
Est-ce que tu me vois grandir, remplir tout l'espace Que tu as pas pris, manque de présence
Oui c'est vrai que t'étais là
Mais est ce que tu m'as regardé une fois ?
Avec tes yeux d'amour, tes bras qui m’enlacent J'ai besoin de ta chaleur j'ai peur de ton absence S’il te plait, quand t’es là t’es là
Je ne veux pas d’un papa qui aboie
Hey papa
Lâche ta guitare et occupes toi de moi
C'est vachement mieux quand tu t'occupes de moi C'est vachement mieux quand tu t'occupes de moi Ouvre ton cœur et viens jouer pour une fois
Tu m'as montré l’Afrique, mais seulement sur une carte M'as dit « ne jure pas, ou je te mets une tarte »
Pourtant dans ta bouche c'est que des gros mots
Je préfère que tu m’emmènes dans ton sac à dos
Tous ces voyages tu sais, c'est (que) dans ta tête Toute cette attention, c'est que pour tes textes Alors lâche ta guitare et prend moi dans tes bras Reviens à la maison avant qu'on soit plus là
Laisse moi courir, même si je me fait bobo Apprends moi à nager, et faire du vélo
Quand il fait mouillé, et que j'ai pas mon k-way Laisse moi danser sous la pluie, crier et chanter
Hey papa
Hey papa
Lâche ta guitare et occupes toi de moi
C'est vachement mieux quand tu t'occupes de moi C'est vachement mieux quand tu t'occupes de moi Ouvre ton cœur et lâche prise papa
The lyrics of Niña's song "Hey!" are a heartfelt plea from a child to their father. The song reflects the longing for attention, love, and presence that the child feels from their father. The lyrics convey a sense of abandonment, as the child expresses their desire for the father to stop neglecting them and start being present in their life.
The song begins with the child stating that they no longer want to play alone and have grown tired of being left behind by their father. They express their determination to learn to live without him and let him drift away from their life. The child questions whether their father sees them growing up and filling the space that he has neglected to occupy. They wonder if he has ever truly looked at them with love in his eyes or embraced them with his arms. The child longs for their father's warmth and fears his absence.
As the song progresses, the child implores their father to put down his guitar and pay attention to them. They believe that things are much better when he focuses on them and takes care of them. They ask their father to open his heart and play with them for once. The lyrics also highlight the contrast between the father's neglect and his occasional attempts to show the child new things, like Africa, but without truly being there for them. The child expresses a preference for being taken on adventures by their father, rather than just hearing about them through his songs.
Throughout the lyrics, the child yearns for their father's love, attention, and physical presence. They emphasize their desire for affectionate gestures, like being held in their father's arms. The child longs for a genuine connection with their father and hopes that he can let go of his distractions and focus on their relationship.

Let me run, even if I get hurt
Apprends moi à nager, et faire du vélo
Teach me how to swim and ride a bike
Quand il fait mouillé, et que j'ai pas mon k-way
When it's wet outside and I don't have my raincoat
Laisse moi danser sous la pluie, crier et chanter
Let me dance in the rain, scream and sing
Lâche ta guitare et occupes toi de moi
Put down your guitar and take care of me
C'est vachement mieux quand tu t'occupes de moi
It's so much better when you take care of me
Ouvre ton cœur et lâche prise papa
Open your heart and let go, dad
