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.

Un Baston Para Tu Corazon
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

El tiempo no cura nada
El tiempo no es un doctor
Mala racha, mala estampa
Y un bastón para el corazón

Con anestesia no hay dolor
Póngame la inyección

El tiempo solo te sana
Lo que no importa ya
Los años nos hacen mejores o ¿no?
Si puedes encajar
Los golpes como un hombre
Un sparring profesional
La vida es póquer
Y las cartas no las vas a elegir
Los ases en la manga no te va a servir

Pues si te falta
Un bastón para tu corazón
Si te falta
Un bastón para tu corazón
Si te falta

Un bastón para tu corazón
Apaga y vámonos
