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.

Romero El Madero
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
con su camisita why su canesú
se siente orgulloso de colaborar
con ésta sociedad.
Desde pequeño empezó a alucinar
sonË?aba con ser como Starky o Hutch
los polis de peli le hacÃan flipar
Romero el madero ha quedado en el bar
con toda la pasma de la ciudad
bebiendo why fumando no paran de hablar
de su virilidad.
Hablan de orden, justicia why ley,
de negros, de jonkies, de putas, de gays,
de cómo maltratan a la sociedad
robando libertad.
A Romero el madero le hare ilusio´n
mañana le toca manifestación
saca su porra why comienza a cargar
why luego, riendo, lo cuenta en el bar.
LA LA RA LA LA LA LA......
Al tÃo Romero le gusta sentir
su porra estrellada contra una nariz
si corre la sangre se siente muy bien,
cumple con su deber.
No le importó why nunca quiso saber
por qué protestaba la mani de ayer.
Su pobre cerebro no puede pensar,
es un profesional.
Romero el madero se queda flipao
cuando en una mani se siente atrapao
de pronto, una dura bota militar
golpea su rostro con brutalidad.
LA LA RA LA LA LA LA......
Donde se toman las dan.
The song "Romero El Madero" by Spanish ska punk band Ska-P focuses on the character of Romero, a police officer dressed in blue with a proud attitude towards his collaboration with society. The lyrics suggest he has been dreaming of becoming a police officer since he was a child, influenced by the police characters featured in films and TV shows. The title of the song means "Romero the Club/Clubber", indicating the violence and abuse of power that is associated with his job.
The song focuses on the hypocrisy that exists within the police force and their abuse of power. Romero is depicted as enjoying his job as a police officer, taking pleasure in using his baton to hit people in the face and causing them to bleed. He is depicted as attending to a protest, seemingly without any concern for what the demonstrators are protesting about, suggesting an ignorance or lack of empathy towards those he is supposed to be serving and protecting.
The lyrics highlight the corruption within the police force and the negative impact it has on society. The song suggests that the police force is working against society by causing damage, fear and restriction of freedom. The song calls for people to stand up against police brutality and corruption, and to demand justice and freedom.
