Amen
Alffa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mae pwysau anferth ar fy sgwyddau i
Daw gymaint o hedd o dy lais di
Geiriau cyfarwydd ar fy meddwl i
O paid angadael i, o dwi dy angen di,
mae'r niwl yn cau amdana i
Tyrd yn ôl i mi.
At first glance, these lyrics may seem simple and straightforward, but Alffa's song Amen is actually quite deep and introspective. The singer is expressing vulnerability, admitting that they are struggling under a great weight and feeling lost. The first line translates to "how could you go and leave so much on me," indicating that the singer feels like someone important has abandoned them or let them down. This has caused immense pressure and burden, represented by the "anferth" weight on their shoulders.
However, there is a glimmer of hope in the second half of the verse. The singer finds peace in the other person's voice, and their familiar words bring clarity and comfort to the singer's scattered thoughts. They urge the person not to leave, as they need them desperately. The closing lines reveal that the singer is grappling with the passage of time and nostalgia, longing for the past and all that was lost. They plead for the return of something or someone that can never truly be recaptured.
Overall, Alffa's Amen is a poignant and honest exploration of the human condition - our need for love, our struggles with loss and regret, and our yearning for a sense of belonging and purpose.
