The band also consisted originally of Black Amaya, Osvaldo Frascino. Carlos Cutaia then joined in and David Lebón replaced Frascino. Despite its short life, Pescado Rabioso is still considered an important piece of Argentine rock history, mainly because of "Artaud", a masterpiece album featuring only Spinetta compositions.

Bajan
Pescado Rabioso Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tengo tiempo
Para saber
Si lo que sueño
Concluye en algo

No te apures
Ya más loco
Porque es entonces

Cuando las horas bajan
El día es vidrio
Sin sol

Bajan
La noche, te oculta la voz
Y además
Vos querés sol
Despacio
También podés hallar la luna

Viejo roble del camino
Tus hojas siempre
Se agitan algo
Nena, nena
Que bien te ves
Cuando en tus ojos
No importa
Si las horas bajan
El día, se sienta a morir

Bajan
La noche, se nubla sin fin
Y además
Vos sos el sol

Despacio también
Podes ser la luna

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pescado Rabioso's song Bajan revolve around the concept of time, dreams, and the passage of day and night. The singer reflects on having time to determine if their dreams lead to something tangible. They urge the listener not to rush, as it is when the hours start to decrease that they come to realize the importance of taking things slow. The day is described as glass without the sun, highlighting the dullness and monotony of life.

As the night approaches, it brings with it a sense of mystery and an opportunity to find the moon. The lyrics suggest that the darkness hides one's voice and the desire for the sun. Slowly, the listener can find the moon and take things at their own pace. The song also refers to a "viejo roble del camino," which translates to an old oak tree in the path. Its leaves are always agitated, possibly symbolizing the constant movement of life. The singer also addresses someone they refer to as "nena," telling them how good they look, and how time is irrelevant when looking into their eyes.
