You mean new wave or similar? Well, there were many good bands in the 80's. For instance, here we've mentioned Radio Futura, La Unión, Mecano, Enanitos Verdes, El Último de la Fila, Loquillo, Pistones, etc.
La Unión: Lobo-hombre en París (" A Werewolf in Paris").
♫ " Cae la noche y amanece en París, ................................ Night falls and it gets light in Paris,
en el día en que todo ocurrió ................................ in the day when all happened
como un sueño de loco sin fin. ................................ as an endless madman's dream.
La fortuna se ha reído de ti. ................................ Fortune has mocked you.
Sorprendido espiando, ................................ Caught spying,
el lobo escapa aullando y ................................ the wolf escapes howling and
es mordido ................................ he gets bitten
por el Mago de Siam. ................................ by the Wizard of Siam.
La luna llena sobre París ................................ The full moon over Paris
ha transformado en hombre a Denis. ................................ has transformed Denis into a man.
Rueda por los bares del bulevar. ................................ He wanders by the bars of the boulevard.
Se ha alojado en un sucio hostal. ................................ He stays in a seedy guesthouse.
Mientras está cenando, ................................ While he's having supper,
junto a él se ha sentado ................................ someone sits beside him:
una joven ................................ a young woman
con la que irá a contemplar ................................ with which he's gonna gaze at
la luna llena sobre París. ................................ the full moon over Paris.
Algunos francos cobra Denis. ................................ Denis earns some francs.
Lobo-hombre en París; ................................ A werewolf in Paris;
