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.

El Hombre Resaka baila SKA
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya suena el despertador
Yo soy el hombre resaka
Me casé con el alcohol
Me levanto de la cama
Tengo que ir a travajar
Ivaya mierda, qué putada
Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska
Son las nueve, estoy currando
Mi cabeza va a estallar
Un chupito de tequila
Why esto empieza a mejorar
Tengo ganas de pirarme
Ya no lo puedo aguantar
Es que nadia me comprende
Quiero bailar ska
Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska
why de nuevo estoy borracho
Estoy perdido en qualquier bar
En el juego de la vida
Manana hay que trabajar
Lo he perdido casi todo
Mi novia no me aguanto
Why es que me huele el aliento
A whisky, cerveza why ron
Quiero bailar ska
Gozo bailando ska
The song "El Hombre Resaka baila SKA" by Ska-P is a lively, upbeat song about a man who is married to alcohol and cannot resist the pull of ska music. The lyrics describe the struggles of a man who wakes up hungover every morning after a night of heavy drinking, but still finds the energy to dance to ska music. The first verse sets the scene, with the man waking up to his alarm and realizing that he is the "resaka" or the man with a hangover. He laments that he has to go to work but would rather be dancing ska. The chorus is a repetition of his desire to dance and the joy he finds in doing so.
The second verse continues the story, with the man struggling to make it through his workday with a pounding headache. He finds relief in a shot of tequila and decides he can no longer bear the thought of being sober. He wants to leave work and dance the night away to ska. The third verse finds him again in a bar, having lost everything, including his girlfriend. His breath smells of whiskey, beer, and rum, and he acknowledges that he has a problem. Despite this, he still finds solace in dancing ska.
Overall, the song is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the dangers of excessive drinking and the joy that music can bring even in times of pain and despair. The singer's love for ska music is a constant throughout the song, and despite the consequences of his drinking, he cannot resist the pull of the beat.
