Sui Generis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tan exacta como dos y dos son tres
Ella llegó a mí, apenas la pude ver
Aprendí a disimular mi estupidez
Bienvenida Cassandra
Bienvenida el sol y mi niñez
Sigue y sigue bailando alrededor
Aun te podamos ver
Les contaste un cuento sabiéndolo contar
Y creyeron que tu alma andaba mal
La mediocridad para algunos es normal
La locura es poder ver más allá
Baila y baila, Cassandra
Digo bien, bien, bien la pude ver
No hablo yo de fantasmas ni de Dios
Solo te cuento las cosas que
Se te suelen perder
The lyrics of Sui Generis's song Natalio Ruiz El Hombrecito del sombrero gris tell the story of a woman named Cassandra who is described as being beautiful and exact in a world that seems to lack these qualities. The singer meets her while she is "naked with cold" and his reaction is to hide his own stupidity. One can interpret the meeting as a metaphor for finding something beautiful and true that has always been present but has gone unnoticed.
Cassandra is welcomed by the singer and is compared to the sun and the singer's childhood. She dances around, captivating the attention of those who have the ability to see and appreciate her beauty. It is clear that the singer sees Cassandra as something special, something out of the ordinary. He contrasts her with those who are content to live mediocre lives, unable to see beyond the surface of things. This is where the reference to "two plus two equals three" comes in, highlighting the confusion and blindness of those who cannot see what is in front of them.
The chorus is a plea for Cassandra to keep dancing despite the fact that there are few who can appreciate her. It is almost as if the singer is trying to preserve the moment, knowing that Cassandra cannot dance forever and that eventually, she will be forgotten.
Overall, the song is a celebration of beauty, truth, and the ability to see beyond the surface of things. It is a reminder that there is meaning and beauty in the world if we are willing to look for it.

Cuantos Natalios Ruiz se ve por doquier! Personitas grises cuyas vidas transcurren monótonas , carentes de toda emotividad.
Esta canción determinó desde adolescente como viviría mi vida, nunca jamás sería uno de ellos, la viviría de tal manera que cada día fuese insuperable y lo logré , aún cuando el ritmo de hoy intente sumergirte a cada rato en el anonimato y el olvido.
Vivan como si mañana fuera el fin de sus existencias, todo toma un color y un sabor diferente.

Yo la escuché a los 15 años por primera vez, y me pasó lo mismo, sentí mucha tristeza y entendí el mensaje de " de qué sirvió ...?" Hoy 30 años después pienso exactamente igual y siento que aquella canción marco la forma en la que viviría mi vida.
