Bubulina

The song 'Bubulina' by Sui Generis, a renowned Argentine rock band, is a poetic and introspective piece that delves into themes of love, loss, and transcendence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a celestial Christmas where Bubulina, a symbolic figure, takes away the singer's love. This act is not portrayed as a tragic loss but rather as a timeless connection that never truly dies. The mention of 'Navidad en el cielo' (Christmas in the sky) sets a mystical and serene tone, suggesting a spiritual or otherworldly experience.

The song is rich with metaphors and symbolic imagery. The 'Máscara de luna' (moon mask) and the 'puerta' (door) that should not have been opened evoke a sense of forbidden knowledge or an irreversible change. The reference to musical notes 'Re, Do, Si, Sol, La' and the need for a 'nuevo ser' (new being) capable of being reborn multiple times without growing old, hints at the complexity of life and the cyclical nature of existence. This could be interpreted as a call for continuous renewal and the pursuit of harmony in life.

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the horizon and the sense of peace it brings, despite the darkness and uncertainty that preceded it. The 'Dama de colores' (lady of colors) and 'Diosa y heroína' (goddess and heroine) are invoked to cleanse and elevate the singer, symbolizing a desire for purification and enlightenment. The plea to leave the key before departing suggests a hope for future access to this transcendent state. The song concludes with a poignant reminder not to wait for death, but to seek meaning and resolution in the present moment.
