La Banda

El Bordo's song 'La Banda' is a heartfelt tribute to the powerful connection between the band and their fans. The lyrics express a deep sense of gratitude and admiration for the fans, who are described as the driving force behind the band's journey. The opening lines, 'Si tuviera que explicar no puedo hacerlo / Valdrán las horas por mi eterna gratitud?' (If I had to explain, I can't do it / Will the hours be worth my eternal gratitude?), set the tone for the song, highlighting the indescribable nature of this bond. The metaphor of light crossing the horizon symbolizes the fans' unwavering support, which gives the band strength and purpose.

The song also captures the joy and unity experienced during concerts, with lines like 'Van rodando en traffic llenas de alegría / Van cantando unidos por el rocanrol' (They roll in traffic full of joy / They sing united by rock and roll). This imagery paints a vivid picture of fans traveling together, filled with excitement and a shared love for music. The mention of 'la locura' (the madness) that led the singer to this path suggests that the passion for music and the fans' support are intertwined, making the distance and challenges insignificant.

Furthermore, the lyrics emphasize the emotional and spiritual connection between the band and their fans. 'Es que sin vos a mi canción le falta el alma / Hoy deje una vida por sentir tu voz' (Without you, my song lacks soul / Today I left a life to feel your voice) underscores the idea that the fans' presence and energy are essential to the band's music. The song concludes with a powerful message about the city's inability to understand this bond, but when it is felt, understanding becomes unnecessary. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the lines, 'Y la ciudad que nunca entiende nada de eso, / Cuando se siente no hace falta entender' (And the city that never understands any of this, / When it is felt, there is no need to understand).
