[1] Four girls from the Baltic state of Lithuania,
escaping all possible frames, both social and musical. Some call them ska/punk, but they
cover wider space: ska rhythm, punk moments and emotional melodies.
The content of their songs has grown with the passing of seasons, reaching social issues, although sometimes indirectly and through personal experiences.
Attentive listeners could recognize the connection between the changing of seasons and the emotionaly charged music.
Psychiatrists usually call it seasonal depression :).
The Girls are a part of a number of feminist movements in Lithuania and in Europe.
Additionally to all concerned social issues,
Zimbabwe is advocating the ideas of DIY (Do It Yourself) philosophy, and is supporting not
consumption life style.
[2] A 2 piece indie band from Canada & Scotland. Famous because the 2 members have never met face to face.
Sangre caliente
Zimbabwe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
te fuiste ocultando, indiferente
yo estaba en el bar, bien acompañado
pero no pude evitarlo, y te mire de costado
y comenzo a hacer calor, y me pido otro trago
donde me agarra el sudor, mientras seguias bailando
y asi quedamos marcados, y asi quedamos marcados
oooooh sangre caliente, oooooh sangre caliente
y te seguias moviendo, y se que estabas riendo
y que se cerrabas los ojos, y te mordias los labios
y yo no soporte mas, y me acerque hasta tu lado
me miraste de frente, con esa mirada ardiente
y comenzamos bailando, y nos seguimos besando
tu piel morena quemaba, quemaba sobre mi espalda
y asi quedamos marcados, para siempre
y asi quedamos marcados, para siempre.
oooooh sangre caliente, oooooh sangre caliente
y yo te dije salgamos, y me seguiste en silencio
y llegamos hasta el mar, que nos mojo de misterio
mientras el reggae sonaba, en el mar lleno de gente
haciamos el amor, con la sangre bien caliente
y asi quedamos marcados, para siempre
y asi quedamos marcados, para siempre.
oooooh sangre caliente, oooooh sangre caliente.
The lyrics of Zimbabwe's song "Sangre Caliente" describe a passionate encounter between two people at a party. The singer is initially watching the woman from afar, as she dances and seemingly ignores him. However, he is drawn to her and feels the heat rising as they both feel the chemistry between them. He can't resist and approaches her, and they end up dancing and kissing passionately.
The second half of the song describes how they leave the party together and go to the beach, where they make love. The repetition of the phrase "sangre caliente" (meaning "hot blood" in Spanish) emphasizes the intensity and passion of their encounter.
Overall, the song celebrates the power of desire and physical attraction, and how it can leave a lasting impression on both parties involved.
