Quien Fuera
Los Bunkers Lyrics

The song "Quién Fuera" by Los Bunkers is a melancholic love song that expresses the longing and desire of the singer to understand and explore the enigmatic nature of the person they love. The first two stanzas describe the singer’s quest to find the right words to understand and unlock the mystery of their lover. They express their admiration for legendary and mythical figures like Ali Baba, Simbad, and powerful enchanters who they wish they could be like to unveil the lover’s enigma. The singer then states they are looking for a diving suit to explore the depths of their lover's deliriums, mentioning pioneers and explorers such as Jacques Costeau, Captain Nemo, and the Bathyscaphe.

The chorus, "corazón obscuro, corazón con muros" (dark heart, heart with walls), reinforces the idea of the lover being a mystery and the challenge of breaking down the barriers around their heart. The singer understands that the lover has a hidden heart, but they are not sure where it is or why it is buried deep inside. The chorus also speaks about a "heart on the run, wounded by doubts of love," implying that the lover may be hiding their heart out of fear or past wounds.

The final stanza describes the singer's desperation to find the right melody to unlock the lover's heart. They mention several talented musicians, such as the Beatles' Lennon and McCartney, Cuban musician Sindo Garay, Brazilian singer Chico Buarque, and Chilean folk singer Violeta Parra, who they wish they could emulate to sing to the lover's heart. The song ends with the singer contemplating who would be the right troubadour to sing about their lover.

Overall, the song expresses the singer's longing for a deep connection with their lover, but also their frustration at the lover's mystery and the walls they have built around their heart.
