Review

Babasónicos La Pregunta meaning and English lyrics translated

Babasónicos is an Argentine rock band, formed in 1990. They are known for their unique style alternative sounds and composition. During their career, they have mixed their music with other genres like hip hop, techno, pop, and ballads.

La Pregunta – “The Question” is a song released in 2018, this song does not sound like a rock song, but more like an alternative pop-electronic rhythm. The song is fantastic and the singing is excellent, one of my favorite songs by Babasónicos, even when is not their usual rhythm. The question is a complicated song in terms of understanding the lyrics, not because they are difficult to read or translate, but because of the meaning of it. the lyrics talk about a show with a curious jury, many people trying to win the show, and people are shown on the verge of madness then, the song starts to make some uncomfortable questions like: “¿Quién esta dispuesto a morir?” – “Who is willing to die?”, “¿Quién va a reclamar?” – “Who is to complain”. Maybe those questions are related to the inhuman competitive environment of TV shows where participants are fighting each other just to win.

★ La Pregunta by Babasónicos is an easy song, but the lyrics are long, you can practice how to make simple questions in Spanish, and how to do rhetoric questions too. I won’t say much more about the song as I want you to hear it. I recommend this song to those looking for that Argentine rock genre that has always been popular thanks to its strange themes.
