Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Y la simpatía de un guardia civil
Tenemos a un banquero de lo mas hontao
Y a ese ministro que se hizo albañil
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
La fauna de esta tierra esta en peligro de extinción
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
Aquí no acaba esta canción
Tenemos a un alcalde que es muy enrollao
Y la jornada laboral del rey
Tenemos a un madero que nunca ha pegao
Y la decisión bilateral de un juez
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
La fauna de esta tierra esta en peligro de extinción
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
Aquí no acaba esta canción
Circo ibérico, circo ibérico
Circo ibérico
La cárcel se llena con la gente mas humilde
Todo esta bajo su control
Vigilan desde arriba este sistema delincuente
Controlando la situación
Y que fácil es controlar la ley cuando tienes poder!
Y que fácil es controlar la ley, su ley!
Tenemos la amabilidad de un militar
Y el celibato de su sentidad
Tenemos el mercedes de un trabajador
Que trabajando mucho se forro
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
La fauna de esta tierra esta en peligro de extinción
Y ya los ves, ya lo ves
Que desilusión!
Aquí no acaba esta canción
Circo ibérico, circo ibérico
La cárcel se llena con la gente mas humilde
Todo esta bajo su control
Vigilan desde arriba este sistema delincuente
Controlando la situación
Y que fácil es controlar la ley cuando tienes poder!
Y que fácil es controlar la ley, su ley!
The song "Circo ibérico" by Ska-P is a political manifesto that criticizes the Spanish political and social system. The lyrics describe a corrupt and hypocritical society where politicians, law enforcement, and wealthy people get away with anything they want while the poor and powerless are punished for their actions.
The song starts by listing several examples of supposedly honest people in positions of power, such as a politician who has never stolen, a banker who is very honest, or a minister who once worked as a bricklayer. However, the chorus reveals the bitter truth behind these statements: the fauna of this land is in danger of extinction, meaning that there are very few truly honest and trustworthy people left. The second verse echoes this sentiment and gives more examples, such as a friendly mayor, a police officer who has never used violence, or a judge who makes fair decisions. But again, the chorus reminds us that these are just illusions, and the situation is much worse than it seems.
The song's title, "Circo ibérico," which means Iberian circus, is a metaphor for the Spanish political system. The lyrics suggest that the politicians, judges, police officers, and other powerful people are just clowns performing for the public's amusement while the real decisions are made behind the scenes. The song also calls attention to the high levels of corruption in Spain, especially in the justice and law enforcement systems.

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.
