Nosotros
Salta la Banca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Podíamos habernos disfrazado
De azafatas, como un reo de la elite.
Podíamos mimar los postulados
de cadenas que te alientan con su hit.

Optamos por solear tristes urgencias.
Por cantar una dolencia marginal.
Lo hicimos porque matan las ausencias
que el sistema delibera propagar.

Podíamos rendirnos ante el yugo
Del vil oportunismo del sillón.
Ceder a los patrones de lo absurdo,
y estar a su predisposición.
La magia de la escuela independiente,
la honra de fraguar la autogestion,
se acaba si la vanidad interviene.
El sueño es del que lo hace por amor.

Nosotros, que aún creemos en la gente
que no cree en lo que crea una canción,
pensamos que la conciencia indecente
se transforma al conectarse al corazón.

Nosotros, que ofendemos la vanguardia
de un anciano que la quiere establecer,
transitamos jubilosos la maraña
porque el barro vuelve noble al quehacer.

Podíamos rendirnos ante el yugo
Del vil oportunismo del sillón.
Ceder a los patrones de lo absurdo,
y estar a su predisposición.
La magia de la escuela independiente,
la honra de fraguar la autogestion,
se acaba si la vanidad interviene.
El sueño solo entiende de pasión.

Lo cierto es que elevamos las banderas
de las panzas que apremiaban rebelión.




Lo cierto es que, sin nada en la heladera,
se nos llena de vació la razón.

Overall Meaning

The song "Nosotros" by Salta la Banca is a poignant reflection on the choices that one makes in the face of societal pressure and the consequences of those choices. The lyrics suggest that there are always options available to those who are brave enough to take them, even when those options are not mainstream or easily accepted. The first verse begins with the idea of dressing up as flight attendants or a prisoner of the elite, indicating a willingness to blindly follow societal norms. The second verse suggests that the decision to create music about marginalized topics is done purposefully to combat the absences and propaganda that is spread by the system. The third and final verse speaks to the idea that the independent school of music and self-management can only truly exist when it is not tainted by vanity but instead is fueled by passion.


Throughout the verses, the theme of the power of the people and the importance of following one's heart runs strong. The song suggests that even when one is faced with difficult choices, it is possible to make choices that are noble and ultimately lead to a sense of fulfillment. The chorus "Nosotros" serves as a rallying cry, a reminder that the power to make a difference lies within us and that true change is possible when we come together.


Overall, "Nosotros" is a call to action that asks the listener to take a hard look at their own choices and the impact they have on themselves and society. It is a beautiful and powerful song that encourages its audience to embrace their own individuality and the power that they hold within.
