Love song
Antònia Font Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i un avió de ferro bimotor
vola més enllà des niguls,
a nou coma cinc mil peus d’altitud, latitud sud.
Mos precipitam damunt París
i sa maniobra és en descens,
he d’escriure un vers, un moment,
I el cel se perd en si mateix,
és una esfera intangible en els ocells,
en totes direccions sobrevolen
i sempre es horitzons equidisten,
com es pols i s’Equador,
quan són davall sa lluna i no són davall es sol.
Diria que es teu cos el consider
i que es meu sentiment se despista.
Es meu eclipsi total,
sa meva love song,
es meu suïcidi mental,
ballam fox trot.
Es meu eclipsi total,
sa meva love song,
es meu suïcidi mental,
ballam fox trot.
The lyrics of Antònia Font's Love song are poetic and evocative of a sense of yearning and longing. The song seems to describe a long-distance relationship, with the singer on a plane flying over Paris, trying to capture a moment in words. The imagery of the sky and the flight adds a dream-like quality to the lyrics, with the singer almost slipping into a trance as they meditate on how the sky seems to be a "tangible sphere" that birds float beyond.
The chorus of the song reveals the intensity of the singer's feelings, with them describing their love as a total eclipse and a mental suicide. The fox trot, a type of ballroom dance, seems to be an ironic flourish amidst the chaos of the singer's emotions. Overall, the song expresses a sense of distance and yearning that is compounded by the singer's inability to capture or express their feelings.
