A raw and literary plunge into the heart of New York’s most nocturnal rhythms, Lou Reed y The Velvet Underground: Canciones offers a haunting portrait of the most transgressive band of the 1960s—one whose legacy still ripples through glam, punk, garage, and art rock.

More than three decades after their debut album, this volume revisits the poetic decay, spiritual unrest, and narcotic euphoria that made The Velvet Underground mythic. Lou Reed, prophet of the margins, offers lyrics that cut deep into the urban psyche—where hard drugs, sadomasochism, and existential drift become not just themes, but declarations.

This bilingual edition presents the original lyrics and their Spanish translations from seminal albums like The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, Loaded, VU, Another View, and 1969. It is a faithful dive into the soul of a group that gave rock music its darkest mirror and its most literary heart.

An essential volume for fans of underground music history, poetic transgression, and the lyrical genius of Lou Reed—whose words still echo in the black pulse of the modern city.
