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.

Me preparo un cigarrillo
Y una china pal' canuto de hachis

Scate una chinatron
Venga ya esa chinatron
Qumame la chinatron

Scate una chinatron
Venga ya esa chinatron
Qumame la chinatron
No hay chinas
No hay chinas hoy

[Hachis]
Scate a la chinatron
Venga ya esa chinatron
Qumame la chinatron
No hay chinas

The lyrics to Ska-P's "Legalizacion" are about the desire for legalization of cannabis and frustration with the difficulties of obtaining it illegally. The song opens with the singer rolling a joint and searching for a "chinatron," a term for a type of rolling paper. The second verse repeats this process, with the added frustration of not being able to find any "chinas" or rolling papers. The chorus then proclaims the desire for legalization of this drug, calling for quality and affordable cannabis and an end to prohibition.
The third verse describes the difficulty of finding cannabis in different neighborhoods, even with the aid of a friend. The singer asks for a "prostitutatron," another term for rolling papers, only to be told that there are none available. The song ends with a final plea for legalization and affordable cannabis.
Overall, the song is a political statement in favor of ending the criminalization of cannabis and providing access to the drug in a safe, affordable manner.
