Band's biography:
The band is formed after a traffic accident in December 1981, in Vigo (Galicia, Northwest of Spain), with a iconoclastic and neo-dadaist approach in the lyrics: galician punk rock against general boredom.
In January 1982 they send a demo with twelve songs to the radio program "This is not Hawai", presented by Jesús Ordovás in Radio 3 (Radio Nacional de España).
In June the same year the EP "Ayudando a los enfermos" ("Helping the sick people") is published with DRO, one of the new independent record companies that arised at that time.
In November they publish their first LP, "¿Cuándo se come aquí?" ("When do we eat here?") with 15 songs recorded in three days. It was a success in the alternative market.
In January 1983 they play live in Rock Ola (Madrid), an important concert venue for the new bands around the country. They record two songs for the program "Caja de ritmos" in Televisión Española. Due to censorship the program is canceled.
Ay Dolores
Siniestro Total Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te tiro a la basura y siempre vuelves para atrás
eres mi mujer objeto y yo soy tu chico boomerang
me arrojas a la calle y siempre vuelvo para atrás
Cuando el amor absorbe tanto vino
Y tantas vueltas da la corriente del río
con Don Hugo y Don Simón
al día siguiente te duele la cabeza
y a mí el corazón
Cuando mi mechero se queda sin gas
aunque venga todo el mundo ella siempre se va
antes limpia y pura y ahora es la encarnación
De la acción de petición de la consumición
Dime por favor dime todo sobre ella
Por qué se cayó desde lo alto de la escalera
Ay, Dolores, siempre me la pegas
con Don Hugo y Don Simón
al día siguiente te duele la cabeza
y a mí el corazón
Aquí viene todo el mundo y tú no acabas de venir
aquí viene todo el mundo y falta mi chica tetrabrik
soy tu hombre retornable y tú la mujer que dijo no
si te duele el envase a mi me duele el interior
Cuando el amor absorbe tanto vino
Y tantas vueltas da la corriente del río
Ay, Dolores, siempre me la pegas
con Don Hugo y Don Simón
al día siguiente te duele la cabeza
y a mí el corazón
The lyrics of Siniestro Total's song Ay Dolores revolve around the theme of a dysfunctional relationship between two people who use each other for their own pleasure and discard each other when necessary. The opening lines suggest that the male protagonist sees himself and his partner as objects that can be thrown away and retrieved at will, comparing themselves to a boomerang. The song's title "Ay Dolores" is a play on words, using the name "Dolores" which can mean "pains" or "hurts," mirroring the pain the singers inflict on each other.
The chorus mentions two characters, Don Hugo and Don Simón, who seem to be related to the excessive consumption of alcohol in the relationship. The day after the drinking, the woman suffers from physical hangover, while the man suffers from emotional hurt. The lyrics also hint at the woman's promiscuity, transforming from a "clean and pure" person to the embodiment of excessive consumption. The song ends with the man acknowledging that although he sees himself as a "returnable man," he feels the pain of the woman's container, indicating again that they use each other without empathy.
