Tequila emerged after the fall of the Franco regime, years before la Movida Madrileña days. Their music has influences from artists such as Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones, a sound very different from the symphonic rock and urban rock groups predominant on the Spanish scene at the time. Songs like Salta!! (which was played for the first time in the well-known television show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez), Quiero besarte, Me Vuelvo Loco, and Rock and Roll en la plaza del pueblo, catapulted the five Tequila members to stardom.

Hoy Quisiera Estar A Tu Lado
Tequila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque esto hay
Mirando fotos del pasado
Y soy yo aquel que está retratado
Y ya pasó te extraño
Hoy quisiera pasar a buscarte
Y salir, salir contigo a alguna parte
Abrazados igual que antes
No se, quizás de mi ya te olvidaste
Porque fue, nena porque me dejaste
Espere, y nunca volviste llamarme
Y nunca más supe de ti, nunca más
Fuiste el primer amor de mi vida
Me deslumbraste desde el primer momento
Y me dejaste con los brazos abiertos
Eh eh eh todo está terminado
Ya, pertenece al pasado
Pero hoy, con las fotos, el recuerdo
De buenos momentos, tu piel y tu cuerpo
Hoy quisiera estar a tu lado
Porque esto hay
Mirando fotos del pasado
Y soy yo aquel que está retratado
Y ya pasó te extraño
