After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

Ñapa es
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y es que te llevo muy dentro del corazon
Castanuelas, toros y verbenas
Mi espana, la tierra del honor
Esta es la espana del felipe y del aznar
La españa democratica del gal
La españa de la estafa immobiliaria
Politicuchos que se inflan a robar
Los asesinos hoy vuelven a torear
Espana, el pais de la patrana
De trapicheros, pelotazos y demas
Y aqui no pasa nada, nos comemos la tostada
Ni siquiera te levantes del sofá
Vaya decepción en la manifestación
Solamente han ido los antidisturbios
Si, jesulin, españa es asi, la tierra donde yo naci
Si, jesulin, españa es asi, que sepas que vamos a por ti
Y son curritos que no pueden ni currar
Negociaciones dignas de un nehandertal
Trabajadores paguando los errores
Como siempre, al que no tiene hay que explotar
Somos europa, no nos podemos quejar
Hemos entrado en el gran capital
Imperialismo que devora tu nevera
Y la vaselina en el culo bien "unta"
Y aqui no pasa nada, nos comemos la tostada
Ni siquiera te levantes del sofa
Vaya decepcion en la manifestacion
Solamente han ido los antidisturbios
Si, jesulin, españa es asi, la tierra donde yo naci
Si, jesulin, españa es asi, que sepas que vamos a por ti
Ohhhhooohohoohoo
In their song "Ñapa Es," Ska-P tackles the complex and often challenging realities of Spain, from its cultural identity to its political corruption to its economic struggles as part of the larger European Union. The opening lines express the powerful emotional connection the singer feels to their country, invoking the imagery of castanets, bullfighting, and festive celebrations as part of what makes Spain so special. However, the following verse paints a much less rosy picture, delving into the realities of modern Spain under democratic rule. This includes the corruption of political figures who enrich themselves at the expense of the people, the influence of organized crime among the upper classes, and a deep sense of disillusionment among the working class who continue to be exploited and oppressed.
The chorus emphasizes the frustration and helplessness felt by many in Spain who feel like they are being taken advantage of and have no way to fight back. The reference to Jesulin, a famous bullfighter, suggests a certain nostalgic idealization of traditional Spanish institutions, while also acknowledging the limitations of these symbols in the face of systemic oppression. The second verse delves deeper into the effects of globalization and neocolonialism, with the singer lamenting how Spain has become subsumed into a larger capitalist system that prioritizes profit over people. Throughout the song, Ska-P shows a deep love for their country, while also acknowledging the challenges that face Spain and its people in the present-day.
