No Te Va Gustar was formed in 1994, when most of its members were around the age of 16. The band was originally a trio made up of Emiliano Brancciari (guitar), Mateo Moreno (bass) and Pablo Abdala (drums). In 1997 the band expanded and added new styles of music to its repertoire such as reggae, candombe, salsa, ska and murga.
The band started to gain recognition in 1998 when they won the "Third Song Festival of Montevideo" and another competition organized by the Montevideo City Council Youth Commission. In 1999 the band toured various venues in Montevideo.
In July 1999, No Te Va Gustar began recording its first album titled "Sólo de noche", which they finished editing (independently) in December. During the summer of 2000 the band toured east coast of Uruguay, playing in Punta del Diablo, Valizas, Cabo Polonio, La Pedrera, La Paloma, Atlántida, El Pinar, and Solymar. In April 2000 "Sólo de noche" was officially released.
During 2002, the band recorded its second album titled "Éste fuerte viento que sopla" (This strong wind that blows) in Santiago, Chile. From that moment on No Te Va Gustar began solidifying its position as one of the defining groups of Uruguayan rock. Their second album went gold just six months after its release and they soon had a fully booked schedule.
In 2004 the band toured the Atlantic coast, sharing the stage with other groups such as La Zurda and Bersuit Vergarabat, one of the most popular bands at that time. The band played more and more gigs in Argentina, attracting a bigger audience with every show in cities such as La Plata, Morón, Ramos Mejía, and Lomas de Zamora.
No Te Va Gustar's third album titled "Aunque cueste ver el sol" (Even though it's hard to look at the sun) was released in 2005. The record release concert attracted an audience of 10,000 people, and the show was recorded for release on DVD later that year. In 2005 the band also did a European tour, playing dates in more than 40 cities including Munich, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin, Vienna, Bern, and Madrid.
The band recorded its fourth album "Todo es tan inflamable" (Everything is so flammable) in 2006, then promoted the album in various concerts in Uruguay and Argentina. Also in 2006, group members Mateo (bass) and Pablo (drums) left the group citing personal reasons.
Adiós
No Te Va Gustar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El tiempo es exacto, pero su amor no
Y hoy se encuentran en todo
el aire les quema
Nosotros miramos de afuera
sol, te pedimos a vos
que cures la herida que tiene su amor
Es señal distante
cansadas de invierno
¿Dónde estará nuestro camino
cuándo el tiempo atrapó al destino?
Cómo… si tus besos son mi vino
dejálo ir, que no se detenga
Saber es escuchar
palabras a tiempo
que no se dicen
palabras a tiempo.
The lyrics to No Te Va Gustar's song Adiós tell the story of a couple who have said their farewells, but time has not healed their love. They are still intertwined in every aspect of their lives, the air burning as they breathe the same atmosphere. The singer is an outsider looking in, asking the sun to heal the wound that their love has suffered. The distance between the lovers agitates the long winter nights, and the uncertainty of where their path may lead lies heavy on the singer. They long for the days when kisses flowed like wine -- a time that they fear may never come again. The message is clear: it’s important to speak the truth and love while you still can, before it’s too late.
The song is a poignant reminder of how time and distance can erode a relationship, leaving two people feeling unsupported, incomplete, and uncertain about what they really want. The lyrics convey the sense of sadness that comes with knowing that love has faded away, but also the hope that the future can change. Through the use of vivid imagery and strong vocals, the lyrics connect with listeners in a way that is both powerful and emotional. Ultimately, the song speaks to the human need for connection, understanding, and love, and the impact that losing those things can have.
