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.
Voces De Tango
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Esperar es matar el fuego, que por ti tengo en mi pecho
Y en mi esta la risa falsa, en vez de empezar a llorar
Y volver a llorar, todo otra vez por ti
Temo que al amanecer vuelva a encontrar, sin ti
La casita está loca de atar, nada puedo escuchar
No me traiga a la memoria que fui
Y volver a rodar, harto de rogar por ti
Escucho las voces de tango
Al ver todas las bazas que he perdido al seguir
En la timba de amar, en la puerta de un bar
Atado a un querer, por ti, por ti
The lyrics of "Voces De Tango" by Enrique Bunbury express the fear of being alone and the pain that comes with it. The song begins by stating the fear of remembering that without the person the singer is addressing, waiting is just killing the fire he has for them. The singer feels a false sense of joy, but deep down, he knows that he is just trying to avoid the pain caused by their absence. The second stanza speaks of the singer's fear of waking up without the person he longs for because everything becomes meaningless, and he cannot hear anything in his surroundings. He remembers the moments he missed returning home and the painful pleading he did for this person's love.
The chorus talks of how the singer hears the voices of the tango, signifying the many things he has lost while waiting for this person's love. He remembers how he was tied to his love for this person while at the bar, a feeling he continues to carry. The song speaks to the pain that comes from unrequited love and the fear of being alone. It highlights the different strategies we adopt to try and avoid dealing with this hurt, ultimately to no avail.

Temo que al oscurecer vuelva a recordar, que sin ti
I fear that as it gets dark, I will remember again how life is without you
Esperar es matar el fuego, que por ti tengo en mi pecho
To wait is to extinguish the fire that I have for you in my heart
Y en mi esta la risa falsa, en vez de empezar a llorar
And in me there is fake laughter, instead of starting to cry
Y volver a llorar, todo otra vez por ti
And to cry again, everything once again because of you
Temo que al amanecer vuelva a encontrar, sin ti
I fear that at dawn I will find myself without you
La casita está loca de atar, nada puedo escuchar
The house is full of noise, I can't hear anything
No me traiga a la memoria que fui
Don't bring to mind what I used to be
Y añoro los años en los que debí volver al hogar
And I long for the years when I should have returned home
Y volver a rodar, harto de rogar por ti
And to start all over again, tired of begging for you
Escucho las voces de tango
I hear the voices of tango
Al ver todas las bazas que he perdido al seguir
As I see all the cards I've lost while following
En la timba de amar, en la puerta de un bar
In the gamble of love, at the door of a bar
Atado a un querer, por ti, por ti
Chained to a love, for you, for you
