Vamo En La Salud

Bersuit Vergarabat's song 'Vamo En La Salud' is a satirical take on the modern obsession with health and wellness. The lyrics describe a protagonist who is excessively committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, taking 'dos mil pastillas de ginseng' and engaging in various physical activities like tai chi and yoga. This character's extreme dedication to health is portrayed humorously, highlighting the absurdity of going overboard in the quest for physical and spiritual well-being. The mention of 'la energía de cinco arbolitos milenarios' and 'mi altruismo es dr arroz integral' adds a layer of irony, suggesting that the protagonist's efforts are almost superhuman and somewhat ridiculous.

The song also delves into the darker side of this health obsession. The protagonist's life is meticulously planned, with a 'agenda repleta' that includes a mix of healthy activities and wild celebrations. The line 'Pase y vea la otra cara de esta calesita de la autodestrucción' reveals the underlying paradox: while striving for health, the protagonist is also engaging in self-destructive behaviors. This duality is further emphasized by the recurring theme of 'bailando un sano rock and roll,' which juxtaposes the idea of health with the chaotic energy of rock and roll.

Ultimately, 'Vamo En La Salud' serves as a critique of the extremes to which people go in the name of health. The protagonist's relentless pursuit of wellness, fueled by 'pildoritas' and 'vitaminas,' leads to a state of perpetual motion and anxiety, symbolized by the 'calesita' that 'nunca frenará.' The song suggests that this obsessive focus on health can be just as harmful as the unhealthy behaviors it aims to counteract, creating a never-ending cycle of self-imposed pressure and stress.
