Their first record, called Vida, was released in 1972, followed by 1973's Confesiones de Invierno. The following year, bassist Rinaldo Rafanelli and drummer Juan Rodríguez joined the act, soon recording Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre Las Instituciones. Due to internal discrepancies, the group decided to perform for the last time at Buenos Aires' Luna Park on September 5, 1975. That farewell concert was recorded and later issued as Adiós Sui Generis, a double album and documentary considered to be a major event in the Latin American Rock history. The band reunited temporarily in two occasions: One in 1980 to play shows in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Santiago de Chile and in the year 2000, in which Sui Generis returned with the album "Sinfonía Para Adolescentes" and an brief tour.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estaba muy aburridoe,
n la Mendoza fatal.
Dije: -¿qué me falta ahora?...
¡sólo aprender a volar!

Mirá, pendejo, me tiré por vos!
Me tiré por vos.
Me tiré por vos.

Me tiré por vos.

Yo tengo todos los discos
why la actitud radical.
Quise enseñarle a los chicos,
la última oportunidad.

Mirá, pendejo, me tiré por vos!
Tirate ahora –me tiré por vos!-
Tirala a la nona!
Me tiré por vos!
Me tiré por vos!

Con la primera ganada,
la segunda vi pasar.
Yo tengo el as de espadas
nadie me puede ganar.

Mirá boludo, me tiré por vos!
Tirate ahora –me tiré por vos!-
Tirala a la nona!
Me tiré por vos!
Me tiré por vos!
Me tiré por vos!
Me tiré por vos!, no por la fama.
Me tiré por vos!, no por la cana.
Me tiré por vos!, no por lo médicos.
Me tiré por vos!, no por dinero.

Me tiré por vos!, no por tu hermana.
Me tiré por vos!
