I come up with this theory about this song:
Cristobal the name of the song is perhaps in reference to Cristobal Colon (Columbus) and you can interpretate it as a modern protest song against the imperialism.
You have lines likes:
Hay un mundo más allá: There is a world over there.. another... and repeat.
Sangre trago, ves magos: swallow blood, you see magicians.
*En estas partes "go home yankees": Around here(south America),...
Against MODERN imperialism
highlighted by "go home yankees"
the soft subtle life of latin america where all of a sudden these magicians (americans, generally, through privatization and maquillas and so on) they trick people into falling for their tricks

to me it is both a description of the general feeling of latin america, the escence
and a protest song.
