Me Sobren Paraules
Antònia Font Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agulla, fil de cosir, tisores, estufa.
Me sobren paraules:
Vermut, patates, olives.
Paraules molt curtes, pi,
Paraules molt llargues, esternoclestmastoideu,
Paraules molt fàcils, mamà,
Me falten paraules per explicar què significa per jo.
Me falten paraules...
Es diccionaris són plens de paraules gratis i certes,
Paraules d'amor senzilles i tendres.
Ella tenia dues llunes en tota sa cara,
Les obria i les tancava,
I tenia ses dues cares de sa lluna,
Una blanca i s'altra obscura.
Me sobren paraules però no tenc res a dir
Cadàver, pitufo.
Me sobren paraules,
D'aquí a dos anys me retir.
Paraules molt lletges, nyu,
Paraules molt guapes, lapislàtzuli,
Paraules provisionals amb es accents girats.
Ella tenia dues llunes en tota sa cara,
Les obria i les tancava,
I tenia ses dues cares de sa lluna,
Una blanca i s'altra obscura.
Ella tenia dues llunes en tota sa cara,
Les obria i les tancava.
The song "Me Sobren Paraules" by Antònia Font is a combination of seemingly random words and phrases that express the inability to find the right words to communicate one's feelings. The opening lines mention specific objects such as a needle, thread, scissors, and stove, followed by the words "vermouth, potatoes, olives." These could be interpreted as a list of items that are superfluous or lacking in importance. Throughout the song, lyrics continue to juxtapose short, long, easy, and difficult words, suggesting that language is inadequate to express the complexities of emotion.
The second verse describes a woman with two moons on her face, one white and one dark, representing her dual nature. The phrase "me faltan palabras para explicar que significa por mí" translates to "I lack words to explain what it means to me," further emphasizing the theme of language's limitations. The final lines mention the words "cadaver" and "Smurf," seemingly out of place with the rest of the lyrics, but possibly reflecting a sense of absurdity or whimsy.
