Irremediablemente Cotidiano

Enrique Bunbury's song "Irremediablemente Cotidiano" delves into the complexities and inevitabilities of daily life. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where individuals must either unite to overcome challenges or face the consequences alone. The phrase "Nos salvaremos juntos o nos hundiremos" (We will save ourselves together or we will sink) sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of solidarity in the face of adversity. Bunbury highlights the social hierarchy with the line "Los de arriba siempre se sientan en los de abajo" (Those at the top always sit on those below), suggesting a critique of societal structures that perpetuate inequality.

The recurring phrase "Irremediablemente cotidiano" (Irremediably everyday) underscores the inevitability of these struggles, suggesting that they are an intrinsic part of life. Bunbury's lyrics also touch on the idea of resilience and the power of collective action. He sings, "Nos salvaremos juntos y cambiaremos el curso de la historia con paciencia y humor" (We will save ourselves together and change the course of history with patience and humor), implying that change is possible through unity and a positive outlook. The song also reflects on the passage of time, with lines like "Las horas se derriten, los minutos de la mano se van" (The hours melt away, the minutes slip by hand in hand), evoking a sense of fleeting moments and the importance of making the most of them.

Bunbury's lyrics also caution against losing oneself in empty promises or superficial appearances. The line "No volveré a cometer la torpeza de perder la cabeza por una promesa o algo peor" (I will not make the mistake of losing my head over a promise or something worse) serves as a reminder to stay grounded and not be swayed by false hopes. The song's overall message is one of perseverance, unity, and the recognition that the mundane aspects of life are inescapable but can be navigated with resilience and solidarity.
