Algo De Vos

The song 'Algo De Vos' by Las Pastillas del Abuelo, an Argentine rock band known for their poetic lyrics and blend of rock, blues, and other genres, delves into the theme of searching for something intangible and deeply personal. The lyrics describe a relentless quest for 'something' that is missing, symbolized by the repeated phrase 'Algo de vos' which translates to 'Something of you.' The singer recounts various actions taken in an attempt to fill a void or to find a piece of someone or something that is no longer present.

The actions described in the song, such as cleaning corners, watering gardens without suns, attacking other people's beds, and stealing faceless kisses, suggest a sense of desperation and emptiness. The search extends to 'thousands of chests' and 'thousands of wells,' indicating a profound and extensive quest. The list of 'something' that the singer is looking for—something that lives, kills, listens, watches, writes, and erases—represents different aspects of existence and interaction, perhaps qualities that were once found in a person who is now absent.

The repetition of 'Algo de vos' throughout the song emphasizes the importance of this missing element and the impact it has on the singer's life. The use of elemental imagery, such as wind and rain, adds to the feeling of searching for something elusive and essential. The song captures the universal experience of longing for a lost connection or aspect of someone that was once integral to one's life, and the struggle to come to terms with that loss.
