Are you ready for Chilean indie rock? This song is from the album “No sí son” (2013) by Tus Amigos Nuevos. The lyrics contain many wry references to the band’s homeland, and suggest that their frontman Diego Lorenzini might be the Chilean Stephen Malkmus.

BABY BOOMERS Baby boomers Denme unos 15 minutitos más Baby boomers También crecí jugando gran capital El mismísimo verano que pasamos en Pelluhue Y no sabíamos lo que era Internet La economía repuntaba pero nadie se enteraba Las fogatas eran nuestro interés Baby boomers Denme unos 15 minutitos más Baby boomers Se nos pasó volando la transición Escuchando rock latino aprendí a ser argentino Como los que te gustaban a vos. Las mujeres no eran mudas ni tampoco eran tan rubias Nunca supe como era Brasil Dale Manu, dale Manu, dale Manu, ohhh! La miraba y me ignoraba sus amigos me llevaban disfrazado A ganar su kermés. La kermés en Curanipe a la que no fue porque supe Le gustaba ir a la playa a tomar Se ve tan linda Ya la quisiera toda para mí Se ve tan grande Más adelante tendré una novia así Baby boomers ¿Por qué trataron tan mal a Redolés? Baby boomers ¿No notan que está empezando a temblar? |
BABY BOOMERS Baby boomers Give me another 15 minutes Baby boomers I grew up playing with big money too The very summer we spent in Pelluhue And we didn't know what the internet was The economy was picking up but no one knew We were only interested in campfires Baby boomers Give me another 15 minutes Baby boomers The transition flew by Listening to Latin rock I learned to be Argentinian Like the ones you liked The women were neither dumb nor blond I never knew what Brazil was like Give it to me Manu, give it to me Manu, ohhh! She looked at her and ignored me, her friends took me in disguise To win her at the fair The fair in Curanipe that she did not go to because I knew He liked to go to the beach to drink She looks so cute I would like her all for myself She looks so great Later I will have a girlfriend like that Baby boomers Why was Redolés treated so badly? Baby boomers Can't you see that he's starting to shake? |
