Review

This song is a cover of an Argentinian band from the eighties named Los abuelos de la nada. It talks about a toxic relationship. The girl makes his boyfriend wait a lot for her outside in the rain. Another thing that he complains about is that when he wants to have sex, she is cold like ice.

It is a fun song to listen to despite the toxic story.

You can see the singer in front of the camera in the video. Also, some youngsters perform and dance different kinds of arts.

Spanish learners can learn new vocabulary. Additionally, the word VOS, is mainly used in Argentina. It means YOU.
