Soda Stereo is a legendary Argentine rock band that formed in 1982 and became one of the most influential Spanish-language rock bands of all time. One of their most famous songs is “En La Ciudad De La Furia,” which translates to “In the City of Fury.” This song has become an anthem for many Latin American youth and has been covered by several artists over the years.
The Meaning Behind the Song
“En La Ciudad De La Furia” tells the story of a person who feels trapped and suffocated by the city they live in. The lyrics describe a feeling of desperation and frustration with the urban lifestyle. The line “No existen los rincones oscuros, no existen las voces, no existen el sol y el viento” translates to “There are no dark corners, no voices, no sun, and no wind.” This line shows how the city has taken away the beauty of nature and replaced it with a concrete jungle.

Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón
Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón
Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón
Ciudad de la furia, ciudad deseada
Esta noche no busques la aurora
Esta noche no busques el sol
No existen los rincones oscuros
No existen las voces, no existen el sol y el viento
Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón
Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón
Sólo existe la furia en mi corazón”
