He got involved in music in the early 1980s, making his debut in a high school band called Apocalipsis, and later played along with Proceso Entrópico. In 1984 Bunbury joined a group called Zumo de Vidrio, debuting as a lead vocalist. After adopting the nickname of Bunbury, taken from an Oscar Wilde novel, the musician teamed up with Héroes del Silencio, becoming a major number in the Spanish rock scene.

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.

Trinidad
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trinidad tiene triple personalidad
Y ninguna de ellas la entiendo
Cómo iba a ser yo capaz
No sé comprender a una sola mujer

Cuando se haré la linda es mi preferida
No la podría dejar de escuchar
Con ese acento de rosarina

Y ese movimiento de femme fatale

Por la mañana es la perfecta ama de casa
Siempre recogiendo lo que dejo por ahí
¿Para qué me esfuerzo en ser desordenado
Si no me deja la muy pelleja?

Trinidad tiene triple personalidad
Y ninguna de ellas la entiendo
¡Cómo iba a ser yo capaz!
No sé comprender a una sola mujer

Cuando invita a sus amigas a cenar
Es el día de la huída a Macombo
Las muy arpías me podrían devorar
Y no hay viagra en la farmacia para todas

Trinidad tiene triple personalidad
Y ninguna de ellas la entiendo
¡Cómo iba a ser yo capaz
Si no sé comprender a una sola mujer!

Trinidad tiene triple personalidad

Trinidad, Si!
Trinidad tiene triple personalidad

Overall Meaning

"Trinidad" is a popular song by Enrique Bunbury, a Spanish singer-songwriter. The song is about a woman named Trinidad who has three different personalities, each of which the singer, presumably Bunbury himself, finds hard to understand. The song unveils these different personas through the course of the lyrics. The woman has a sultry, seductive side with a strong Argentine accent, which is the singer's favorite. She also has a domestic side, where she is the perfect housewife, always tidying up after the singer, which is quite annoying to him. Lastly, her socialite personality is an enigma to the singer, as he feels threatened by the attention she attracts from her provocative friends.

The song is a representation of Bunbury's personal experience with women, where he finds it difficult to understand and relate to their multi-faceted personalities. Trinidad, being a Spanish name, also represents the cultural diversity in Spain, where regions with different customs, accents, and social norms can create multi-dimensional individuals that can be hard to comprehend. The song beautifully captures the complexity of an individual and how their different personalities can be both fascinating and frustrating.
