Latin Grammy-nominated band Superlitio have been described as one of the best rock acts in Colombia today. The band independently released its fourth album CALIDOSOUND in July 2009, having teamed up with award-winning producer Rafa Sardina. The year saw them headline Rock al Parque, the largest open rock festival in Latin America, while also winning the Recording Of The Year award at the Shock Awards, the most prestigious music awards in Colombia.
Superlitio have also won plaudits for their innovative use of digital, notching up more than 40,000 downloads of their latest album preview with a Colombian newspaper, and more than 150,000 streams on the MSN portal during the launch week.
Band members Pipe, Pete, Alejo, Dino and Armando have come a long way since forming Superlitio more than a decade ago. The band has played more than 500 shows, supporting artists like Juanes, Café Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Control Machete, Babasónicos, Molotov, Aterciopelados and Manu Chao.
In 2008, Superlitio had their second number one in the Colombian radio airplay chart, with the title track from the movie Perro Come Perro – one of the most critically acclaimed Colombian movies ever. The band also garnered nominations for Best New Artist at the Latin Grammys, as well as Best Rock Album at Univision’s Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, and Best Fusion Video at the Much Music Awards. In the US, they won La Banda Elastica award for Best New Alternative Artist.
Superlitio’s music has also been regularly used on Colombian TV shows, including hugely popular soap opera Francisco el Matematico. The band’s music has also been used in Colombia’s equivalent of The X Factor.
In March 2010, right after their second appearance at SXSW Festival and a short US Tour with shows in NYC, Washington, and Miami, CALIDOSOUND was digitally released on a global scale through The Orchard. Perro Come Perro was choosen as the single of the week in iTunes Latino US and Mexico achieving over 50.000 downloads.
The band is currently touring Colombia promoting their latest single Te Lastime, which have already reached the number one spot in several radio stations around the country.

Superlitio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que Yo No Tengo Corazón, Perdóname
Perdóname, Perdóname
Que Yo No Tengo La Razón, Perdóname Mujer
Vacilando Por La Calle
Buena Vaca Nos Salía
De La Sala A La Cocina
La Miseria Del Amor Que No Se Va
La Botella Que Nunca Se Va Acabar
Y Los Santos Que Llegan Al Cielo
No Me Dejan Entrar Primero
Perdóname, Perdóname
Que Yo No Tengo Corazón, Perdóname
Perdóname, Perdóname
Que Yo No Tengo La Razón, Perdóname Mujer
Perdóname Que Yo, Que Yo No Tengo Corazón,
Perdóname
Perdóname Mujer? Que Es Lo Que Dice Esta Canción
Perdóname Que Yo, Que Yo No Tengo Corazón, Perdóname
Perdóname, Suavecito Ay! Corazón
Perdóname Que Yo, Que Yo No Tengo Corazón Perdóname
Que Yo No Tengo, Yo No Tengo Na'
Que Yo No Tengo, Yo No Tengo Na'
Perdóname Que Yo, Que Yo No Tengo Corazón, Perdóname
Perdóname, Perdóname, Perdóname Mujer, Que Es Lo Que Dice Este Son
Perdóname Que Yo, Que Yo No Tengo Corazón, Perdóname
Que Yo No Tengo, Yo No Tengo Na'
Yo No Tengo Na'.
The lyrics to Superlitio's Perdóname reflect a sense of guilt and remorse as the singer apologizes for not having a heart or reason. He begs for forgiveness repeatedly, acknowledging that he has no right to act the way he does. The imagery of the "good cow" and the "diamond steak" give a sense of classism and privilege, while contrasting with the misery and lack of love that the singer feels. The contradiction of the never-ending bottle versus the saints not letting him enter heaven first also speaks to the moral ambiguity that the singer is grappling with.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of self-awareness and vulnerability, with the repetition of "perdóname" emphasizing the importance of seeking forgiveness and making amends.
