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.
Lo Que Queda Por Vivir
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No volveré a pedir permiso
Sólo tengo un compromiso
Que te aviso desde aquí
Creíste que de esta no saldría
Que tendría que retroceder
Al fin perder mi chulería
No es que yo no sepa perder
Es que no sé ceder fácilmente
Lo que piense la gente
¿Para qué lo he de tener yo presente?
Lo que queda por vivir
No volveré a pedir permiso
Sólo tengo un compromiso
Que te aviso desde aquí
Ahora mismo, lo único urgente
Es ir de frente con mi poca verdad
Los demás tienen ya suficiente
Con su suerte, y con su libertad
Si tuviera dos o tres más vidas
Haría lo mismo una y mil veces
Que con creces me dieron de más
Mucho más de lo que uno merece
Lo que queda por vivir
No volveré a pedir permiso
Sólo tengo un compromiso
Que te aviso desde aquí
Lo que queda por vivir
No volveré a pedir permiso
Sólo tengo un compromiso
Que te aviso desde aquí
In "Lo Que Queda Por Vivir," Enrique Bunbury asserts his independence and determination to live life on his own terms, without seeking permission or approval. The lyrics suggest that he has faced obstacles and criticism in the past, but remains committed to doing things his own way. He addresses skeptics who may have thought he would fail or give up, emphasizing that he is not afraid to lose, but will not easily give in.
The line "No es que yo no sepa perder / Es que no sé ceder fácilmente" (It's not that I don't know how to lose / It's just that I don't give in easily) reveals his stubbornness and persistence in the face of adversity. He recognizes that he is not always right or infallible, but is unwilling to compromise his beliefs or principles simply to appease others. The chorus repeats the refrain "Lo que queda por vivir / No volveré a pedir permiso / Sólo tengo un compromiso / Que te aviso desde aquí" (What remains to be lived / I will not ask permission again / I only have one commitment / That I warn you about from here), underscoring his intent to live his life on his own terms.
Overall, "Lo Que Queda Por Vivir" is a defiant anthem for anyone who has ever been underestimated or told what to do. It encourages listeners to embrace their autonomy, even in the face of opposition or doubt from others, and to pursue their own path fearlessly.
