No hierve tu sangre

Platero Y Tu's song 'No hierve tu sangre' is a scathing critique of the superficiality and deceit often found in the pursuit of fame. The lyrics tell the story of a person who is willing to change their appearance and compromise their artistic integrity to achieve success. The opening lines, 'Chico cambia de nariz / Yo te ayudaré a triunfar,' suggest a transformation that is more about external appearance than genuine talent or passion. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which delves into the emptiness of such a pursuit.

The chorus, 'No importa / Que mientas, / Que engañes, / Que no sientas nada / Por el rock'n'roll,' highlights the artist's disdain for those who achieve fame through deceit and manipulation rather than genuine passion for their craft. The repetition of 'No importa' emphasizes the indifference and lack of authenticity that the subject of the song embodies. The phrase 'No hierve tu sangre' (Your blood doesn't boil) is a powerful metaphor for the lack of true passion and emotion in the person's pursuit of fame.

The song also touches on the impact of this superficial success on others. Lines like 'A ese chico has engañao / Con tu foto en su pared' suggest that the person has deceived their fans, who idolize a false image. The final lines, 'Cuélgate una piedra al cuello / Y ahora tírate a la ría,' are a harsh condemnation, suggesting that the person’s superficiality and deceit have led them to a point of no return. Platero Y Tu uses this song to criticize the hollow nature of fame achieved through deceit, urging listeners to value authenticity and genuine passion over superficial success.
