Following the line of their previous album, El León, the Cadillacs returned to write and sing about oppression and enforced disappearances during the years of the military dictatorship in Latin America. Particularly the National Reorganization Process in Argentina.
“El Matador” tells the story of a...
[Intro]
They're looking for you, Murderer!
[Verse 1]
They call me the Murderer, I was born in Barracas
If we’re talking about killing, my words kill
León Santillán was taken down not too long ago
And now I know that at any moment they're going to get me
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
Where are you Murderer?
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
[Verse 2]
They call me the Murderer, they’re looking for me
I await them in a cold pension
Squatted in the darkest corner of my room
Rifle in hand, I wait for the end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police looks for you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police will catch you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
[Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you, Murderer?
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Do not go, Murderer
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
[Verse 3]
Wind of freedom, combative blood
In the pockets of the people lays the old wound
Suddenly the day gets dark
Murmuring, running and the knock on the door
The police force has arrived!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Mu- Murderer, Mu- Murderer)
Look, brother, what did you end up with?
(Ma-Matador, Mu- Murderer)
For fighting for a better world
What is that sound? They're bullets! They're getting to me! They're catching me!
Resist! Víctor Jara, do not be silent!
[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are looking for you
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are killing you
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave, Murderer
[Bridge]
They call me the Murderer of the hundred porteño neighborhoods
I don't have to be afraid, my words are bullets
Peace bullets, justice bullets
I am the voice of those who got silenced for no reason
By the mere fact of thinking differently, my God!
Santa María de los Buenos Aires, if everything were better
[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
If everything were better
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you going, Murderer?
Murderer-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave murderer!
[Outro]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
