With the release of their ninth album, "Nou" (meaning both Nine and New), they regained their popularity. A couple of singles were hits in the local radio stations.
In 2001 they published their last album before break-up, "Plou i fa sol" (Sunny and rainy), although they kept on playing live and publishing some live and acoustic albums until 2003.

Instants Del Temps
Sopa De Cabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cremen quatre selves al teu cor
Corre mare terra, lluny del foc.
Ja no hi ha misteris sota el sol
Tremola mare mar i ofega-ho tot.
Un envàs sense retorn
Així serem tu i jo
Haurem d'anar.
Sempre endavant
Sempre inventant respostes
Sempre esperant en va
No som diferents
Només instants del temps.
Qui anirà a buscar-te si te'n vas
Qui t'esperarà amb el cor trencat
Qui vindrà al matí a dur-te el sol
Qui anirà a donar-li corda al món.
Si tot fos una il·lusió
Potser em faria por
Si ara som reals tu i jo
Haurem d'anar.
Sempre endavant
Sempre buscant respostes
Sempre esperant en va.
No som diferents
Només instants del temps.
Sempre endavant
Sempre sembrant preguntes
Sempre fugint, de què?
Digue'm on anem
Per què seguim corrent.
Sempre endavant
Sempre buscant respostes
Sempre esperant en va
No som diferents
Només instants del temps.
The song "Instants Del Temps" by Sopa De Cabra talks about the fleeting nature of time and life. The first verse speaks of the transience of things, with four candles burning in one's heart as the sea and land run far from the fire. The second verse talks about the inevitability of death and how we are just temporary vessels on this earth. The chorus asserts that we are all just passing moments in time, always moving forward, always searching for answers and always waiting for something that might not come.
The song also highlights the uncertainty and the loneliness that comes with life. The questions asked in the lyrics - "Who will come to get you if you leave?", "Who will wait for you with a broken heart?", "Who will come in the morning to bring you the sun?" - emphasize the fragility of human relationships and the fact that we are all ultimately alone in this world. The song acknowledges the futility of searching for answers and the impossibility of escaping the inevitable passage of time.
