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.

Decadencia
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuidar el campo, cuidar el mar
Hay que reciclar y no contaminar
No gastes agua, es fundamental
Vuelve a resonar otra prueba nuclear
Envenenando tierra y mar
Deforestación, cáncer de pulmón
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides consideración
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides colaboración
Ya comenzó la cuenta atrás, se nos acaba el tiempo
Ahora que se hunde el barco, no esperes un milagro
No se respetó el tratado universal
Kyoto fue una frivolidad
Nuevo incendio forestal, alta rentabilidad
buena manera de especular
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides consideración
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides colaboración
Ya comenzó, la cuenta atrás, se nos acaba el tiempo
Ahora que se hunde el barco, Llórame, llórame
Oh oh oh, ya no hay marcha atrás, respirarás tu radioactividad
Oh oh oh, ya no hay marcha atrás, podrás sentir la decadencia
Industrialización, consumo sin control
más armamento de destrucción
Qué queréis de mí! pudisteis elegir
vuestra codicia nos condenó
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides consideración
Ahora que se hunde el barco, me pides colaboración
Ya comenzó, la cuenta atrás, se nos acaba el tiempo
Ahora que se hunde el barco, Llórame, llórame
Oh oh oh, ya no hay marcha atrás, respirarás tu radioactividad
Oh oh oh, ya no hay marcha atrás, podrás sentir la decadencia
radioactividad
La decadencia
radioactividad
La decadencia
The song "Decadencia" by Ska-P is a powerful plea for action to address the environmental crisis facing our world. The lyrics criticize the lack of responsibility shown by society towards its natural resources, urging for responsible consumption and protection of the environment. The verses focus on the destruction and pollution caused by human activity, including nuclear testing, deforestation, pollution, and climate change. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation, warning that time is running out and there is no time to waste in taking action to reverse the damage.
The lyrics highlight how the natural resources have been exploited and drained to fuel economic growth and globalization- a problem exacerbated by industrialization, consumerism, and greed. The lines "Industrialización, consumo sin control, más armamento de destrucción" suggest that the problems of environmental degradation, militarism, and consumerism are intertwined and that humanity must act fast to stop the ongoing "decadencia" (decay) of the planet.
Overall, "Decadencia" is a moving and thought-provoking song that calls for reflection and action on environmental issues, appealing to listeners to take responsibility and collaborate in finding solutions to the ongoing ecological crisis.
