Deep, intimate, revealing, rebellious, daring… That’s right Fito, birthday today. So are his lyrics.
Many singer-songwriters are called poets, but in the case of Fito Paez that name falls short. The lyrics of his songs are close and intimate (they touch our soul) but at the same time they are deep (they touch our mind).
Fito has something of a philosopher, a sharp and controversial thinker. He tells us things like…
I became strong there, where I never saw, nobody can tell me who I am, nor do I know very well, but I learned to love you: the perfume that leads to pain Fito Paez

Your love opened a wound, because everything that is good for you is always bad for you. Fito Paez

Today the times go to a thousand and your strange heart no longer captures the impulses of love as before Fito Paez

I saw their faces of resignation, I saw them happy, full of pain (…) The melancholy of dying in this world and living without a stupid reason Fito Paez

Because of these phrases and many others with which Fito Páez has marked our collective memory, today he, more than any other singer-songwriter, deserves to be called a poet and philosopher, because makes us feel and think like no other rock musician in Spanish.
