Picture yourself flicking through the news, bombarded by wars, pollution and unemployment, yet someone next to you keeps repeating tranquilo majete — "relax, buddy." This song is a sharp, witty collage of the world’s troubles: conflicts in far-off countries, the AIDS crisis, political corruption, skyrocketing rent and even the early closing of bars. Celtas Cortos line up these grim headlines one after another, only to undercut them with that laid-back refrain, turning calmness into pure sarcasm.
By contrasting serious problems with a carefree "stay cool" attitude, the band criticises the passive comfort of watching chaos from an armchair. It’s a musical nudge that asks: will you stay seated or get involved? Behind the catchy melody lies a call to wake up, leave the sofa and start changing the channel — not on the TV, but on reality.
