Review

Soda Stereo Persiana Americana meaning and lyrics explained

Persiana Americana – “American Shutter” is a song by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo. The song was released in 1986. Gustavo Cerati wrote the lyrics, Persiana Americana is among the most popular songs from the band, but mysteriously the song wasn’t promoted with a video clip.

Persiana Americana lyrics as most of the songs from Soda Stereo tell us a sensual and romantic story, of a boy who from his house or apartment is watching or spying on a girl that he likes. She knows that he watches her all the time and she loves it, she gets excited every time and both of them are more in love with the relationship they have like that as if they were dating normally.

The explanation is that both of them just love the role play, one being the watches and the girl being watched secretly, she gets undressed when he’s spying on her to excite him. They are fine like that and they will continue doing it for a long time.

Persiana Americana or American shutter is where the boy hides to spy on the girl. Soda Stereo’s songs are normally short in lyrics but Persiana Americana has quite long lyrics. The lyrics are poetic and suggestive, nothing sexual or vulgar.

Gustavo Cerati does the singing and it’s easy to understand and follow his legendary voice. Persiana Americana is a must for those who are learning Spanish and want to know Spanish music and culture, the song is easy to practice with and ideal for those who like Spanish rock.
