Catalan theme
André Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turning red as blood. The game's begun
How beautiful the cheer, screams
From everywhere. Yet someone, is all alone
No they say no, you won't make it this time
No time to say goodbye you're on your own this time
No time to say goodbye. It's a Catalan lullaby
Catalan Fiesta, how divine the sight
Celebrating death in unfair fights
What will their mothers say, see children laugh away
Sunday slaughter as fun
No time to say goodbye, you're on your own this time
No time to say goodbye, their all standing on line
No time to say goodbye, You won't make it this time
No time to say goodbye, it's a Spanish lullaby
(Ahhh Ahhhh)
No they say no, you'll never make it this time
No time to say goodbye. There's others waiting this time
No time to say goodbye. Its a Catalan lullaby
It's a Catalan lullaby
Little One Creations 2009 (C) and (P)
The song "Catalan Theme" by André Wall is a powerful political commentary on the situation in Catalonia, a region of Spain which has been fighting for independence. The song uses an ironic tone to expose the cruelty of the situation and the indifference of the people who profit from it. The opening lines, "Catalan Siesta, how beautiful the sun turning red as blood. The game's begun" refer to the peaceful protests that often take place during the day, which quickly turn violent as the police come in to disperse the crowds.
The chorus, "No time to say goodbye, you're on your own this time. No time to say goodbye, it's a Catalan lullaby" repeats over and over, conveying the sense of abandonment felt by the Catalan people. The line "Celebrating death in unfair fights, what will their mothers say, see children laugh away Sunday slaughter as fun" is a devastating commentary on the violent clashes between the police and the protestors, which have resulted in injuries and deaths.
The song is a powerful call to action, urging the rest of the world to pay attention to the situation in Catalonia and support their struggle for independence. Overall, "Catalan Theme" is a poignant, powerful and insightful piece of music that sheds light on a significant issue of our time.
