Nuevamente

The song 'Nuevamente' by El Cuarteto de Nos, a band known for their satirical and often humorous lyrics, tells a story of lost dreams and their unexpected resurfacing. The lyrics describe a person whose dreams are metaphorically taken and sold, only to be rediscovered in the most mundane of places: a bathroom. The repetition of this cycle with different characters highlights a sense of inevitability and perhaps the futility of trying to escape one's past or dreams.

The narrative unfolds with the protagonist's dreams being sold to various characters, each of whom archives them in a bathroom. The dreams are then inadvertently encountered by the same woman who sold them, as she marries each of the dream purchasers in turn. The use of different nationalities for the characters (Panamanian, Argentine, Brazilian) adds a layer of cultural diversity and may suggest the universal nature of the experience being described. The refrain 'nuevamente' which means 'again' in Spanish, emphasizes the repetitive nature of the events, suggesting a cycle that continues despite the passage of time.

The song could be interpreted as a commentary on how our aspirations and innermost desires can be commodified, lost, and rediscovered in unexpected ways. It also touches on the idea that no matter how much we change or whom we are with, certain elements of our identity and past experiences remain with us. The bathroom, a private and intimate space, serves as a metaphor for the personal and hidden aspects of ourselves that we cannot easily discard or forget.
