With Javier Abreu at the head, the group’s production navigates better than ever the oceans between punk rock and traditional Galician music and they provide a taste of a story, a magical realism of the world view seen from the paths of the village in Compostela Arines. They are a bridge between the 90’s Galician rock and the pop music of the first decade of the 21’st century. Many consider them a cult band, but with the best and most direct energy you can see on a stage.

This unique band that has never stopped producing, recording and playing around the world since its founding in 1996.They have been told that they are from the soil like earthworms. They are from Arines, but are for the world. Ruxe-Ruxe have earned the merit to be one of the greatest Galician musicians and have defined a chapter in the history of Galician music by keeping Galician music alive and vibrant.

Na pantalla do televisor
Nin fai frío nin fai calor,
Pero o home que goberna o tempo,
Decidiu que xa era o momento

...e xa comeza a chover, manda o home do tempo
Se non te queres mollar vaite poñendo a cuberto

E deulle corda ó vello reloxo,
E foi de adianto en atraso,
E fixo sol en mil noites de inverno
E un verán furacanado.

...e xa comeza a chover, manda o home do tempo
Se non te queres mollar vaite poñendo a cuberto

Foi que o home toleou de vello,
E estragou o sosego do vento,

As témporas romperon en anacos
E queimou os seus mapas do tempo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "O Home Do Tempo" by Ruxe-Ruxe talk about the power of the person who controls the weather. The first verse describes how the television screen shows a temperature-controlled environment where it is neither hot nor cold, but the person who governs the weather has decided that it is time for it to rain. The chorus repeats the message that if you don't want to get wet, then you should find shelter because the person who controls the weather has made their decision.

The second verse continues with the idea that the person in control of the weather has the power to manipulate time. They wind up the old clock and make time move forward and backward. They can even create sunshine in the coldest of winter nights and create a hurricane-like summer. The chorus is then repeated again, emphasizing the power of the person controlling the weather.

Overall, the interpretation of the song's lyrics is that humankind has no control over the weather and the environment around us. It's up to nature and the person controlling nature to dictate when and how the weather changes.

Nin fai frío nin fai calor,

Se non te queres mollar vaite poñendo a cuberto

E foi de adianto en atraso,
And it went forward and backward,

E fixo sol en mil noites de inverno
And made the sun shine on a thousand winter nights

E un verán furacanado.
And a hurricane summer.

Foi que o home toleou de vello,
It was that the old man went crazy
