The band eventually broke up in 1996 and Bunbury started his solo career in 1997 with a techno album, Radical Sonora with his new band: Copi (piano), del Moran (bass), Ramón Gacias (drums) and former Héroes del Silencio guitarrist Alan Boguslavsky.
Recognized by his wish to always reinvent himself, Bunbury released in 1999 the album Pequeño, which sounded much different than anything he did before. His band also suffered changes, Boguslavsky was replaced by Rafa Domínguez, and the new faces, Ana Belén Estaje (violin), Luis Miguel Romero (percussion), Javier Iñigo, Javier García Vega & Antonio Ríos in the metal instruments.
This band was known as the "Huracán Ambulante" ("Rambling Hurricane") and recorded with Bunbury the rest of his solo discography, (except Antonio Ríos).
In 2005, after 8 years together, Bunbury dissolved the band and declared that will record a new album in 2006 only with his voice and a piano. Nevertheless, in early 2006 he recorded an album with spanish artist Nacho Vegas by the name of El tiempo de las cerezas.
His old band, Héroes del Silencio, reunited in 2007 for a short tour which visited Latin America, United States and Spain.
El rumbo de tus sueños
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
porque nunca te olvido,
tu cuerpo fue la guarida,
favorita de mi cuerpo.
Hay un estela de ausencia,
de coincidencia literaria,
de locas armonias,
de piel azteca.
llenas de etcéteras,
y un corazon espartano,
y unas manos,
que creen en los milagros.
Pero son tan perezosos,
son tan impuntuales,
que hermosas tus tristezas,
como las mias fatales.
Y ahora tengo las arterias,
llenas de etcéteras,
y un corazón espartano,
y unas manos,
que creen en los milagros.
Al límite de un temblor,
de conspiración divina,
el rumbo de tus sueños,
coincide con mis pesadillas.
In Enrique Bunbury's song El rumbo de tus sueños, the lyrics explore the idea of not being able to forget someone, even though they're not actively remembered. The opening line, "Jamás te recuerdo, porque nunca te olvido," translates to "I never remember you, because I never forget you." The singer acknowledges that the other person's body was their favorite hiding place, hinting at an intimate relationship that may have ended but still lingers in their memory.
The following lines speak of a feeling of absence, using literary coincidence and Aztec skin as imagery. The singer describes having their veins filled with "etceteras," or miscellaneous things, and a "Spartan heart" and "hands that believe in miracles." It's clear that they've been through a lot and are trying to hold on to some kind of hope.
The last verse talks about a divine conspiracy and the collision of dreams and nightmares. The singer feels like they're on the edge of a tremor, as if something big is about to happen. The song ends on a haunting note, with the idea that the other person's dreams coincide with their own nightmares.
Overall, the lyrics of El rumbo de tus sueños are poetic and metaphorical, exploring themes of memory, intimacy, and hope in the face of uncertainty and fear.
