The Héroes del Silencio (commonly known as Héroes or HDS) were a Spanish rock band from Zaragoza, Aragón, founded by guitarist Juan Valdivia and singer Enrique Bunbury.
The line-up was completed by bassist Joaquín Cardiel and drummer Pedro Andreu. In the 1980s they enjoyed success throughout Spain and America, as well as in various European countries, including Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Yugoslavia and Portugal. They have established themselves as a major player on the Rock en español scene and are considered one of the best bands in the genre. Their trademarks are complex lyrics, intricate instrumentation and precise rhythm. In 1996, after twelve years and several albums, the band disbanded. When singer Enrique Bunbury embarked on a solo project, the rest of the band followed a different musical path. In 2007, as part of the celebrations for their 20th anniversary and 11 years after their break-up, they organised a 10-show world tour.
The band’s speciality was a very distinctive image, with its own iconography and symbolism, and a music characterised by ambiguous and transcendental lyrics, complex arpeggios and a solid rhythmic basis. His influences include William Blake, Charles Baudelaire, Led Zeppelin and The Cult.
In 2021, Netflix premiered Heroes: Silencio and Rock & Roll, a documentary film that tells the full story of the band as told by its members.
Heroes del Silencio: Entre dos tierras
Lyrics
original (Spanish) / English translation
| Entre dos tierras Te puedes vender Cualquier oferta es buena si quieres poder Qué fácil es Abrir tanto la boca para opinar Y si te piensas echar atrás Tienes muchas huellas que borrar Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Pierdes la fe Cualquier esperanza es vana y no sé qué creer Pero olvídame, que nadie te ha llamado, ya estás otra vez Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Déjalo ya No seas membrillo y permite pasar Y si no piensas echar atrás Tienes mucho barro que tragar Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar |
Between two lands You can sell yourself Any offer is good if you want power How easy it is To open your mouth so wide to give your opinion And if you’re thinking of backing out You’ve got a lot of footprints to erase Let me I’m not to blame for seeing you fall If it’s not my fault for seeing you fall You lose faith Any hope is vain and I don’t know what to believe But forget me, no one’s called you, you’re back again Let me I’m not to blame for seeing you fall If it’s not my fault for seeing you Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe Let it go Don’t be a quince and let it pass And if you don’t plan to turn back You’ve got a lot of mud to swallow Let me I’m not to blame for seeing you fall If it’s not my fault for seeing you Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe Let me I’m not to blame for seeing you fall If it’s not my fault for seeing you Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe Between two lands you are And you leave no air to breathe |
