Panteón Rococó blend several styles of popular music such as rock, punk, salsa, cumbia, mariachi, reggae, ska, and also mestizo music into a very energetic, groovy sound. As they are very political people and sympathize with the EZLN in Chiapas, some of their lyrics contain political statements, but many others are love songs.
While very popular in Mexico, they are not so known in Europe, hence their contributions and tours there.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ha volado de catedral
Ha volado la palomita
Ha volado de catedral
Y yo que siempre pensé
Que nunca se me iba a ir
Y yo que siempre pensé
Todos los días me esmere
Que a ella nada le faltara
A ella nunca le falto
Mi cariño y agua clara
Sin embargo, algo la deslumbro
Y ese día me engaño
Sin embargo, todo arriesgo
Y en el camino se perdió.
Ha volado la palomita
Ayer su nido dejo
Ha volado la palomita
Ayer su nido dejo
Y yo nunca la prive
De su vuelo en libertad
Y yo que nunca pensé
Que se me iba a escapar
Esa noche, la recuerdo
Fue un octubre muy, muy gris
Era una noche clara
Y no lo pude prevenir
Y yo que tanto confiaba
En su siempre regresar
Cuando el pico paraba
Y se dejaba amar
Ha volado la palomita
Al fin ayer dijo adiós
Ha volado la palomita
Al fin ayer dijo adiós
Y no es que ella fuera mala
Es que tenia que partir
Y no es que ella fuera mala
Debe el mundo descubrir
Esa noche me dijeron,
Tu paloma aquí no esta
No lo pude resistir
Y pronto le fui a buscar
Tan contenta yo la vi
Que no pude intervenir.
Fue cuando claro entendí
Ella se tenia que ir
The song ‘La Palomita’ by Panteón Rococó is a beautiful and melancholic story of a lost love that has gone astray. The song begins with the metaphorical explanation of a dove flying out of the cathedral, which can be interpreted as a symbol of a lost love that has flown away forever. It is said that the singer used to consider his love as a permanent fixture in his life, someone who would never leave him. He had worked hard to ensure her happiness, but something had bewitched her, and she was no longer with him.
The singer then moves on to explain how he always tried to provide everything for his lover and how he was always there for her. The singer always kept him lovingly and provided his lover with what she needed to live a peaceful life. However, despite his efforts, his lover fell for something that led her astray. The singer reflects on how his lover chose to take a risky path and lost her way. This reflects the theme of life where sometimes we make choices that can lead us astray, and we lose sight of the things that matter most.
In the following section of the song, the singer talks about how his lover left their home and how he never tried to stop her so that she could have her freedom. He trusted her to make her own choices and believed that she would always come back to him. But that fateful night was different, and the singer remembers the night she never returned. Even though he held hope that she would return, he soon discovered that she would never come back. The song is a powerful portrayal of the pain of losing someone we love the most and the deep wounds it can leave behind.
