Viure sense tu
Antònia Font Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Punt i principi de viure sense tu.
Jo no sabia que també me donaries
Manuals de geografia
Cent dillunsos a un dibuix.
Jo què sabia d'alens que se trobaven,
De mans i de perfums.
Dolça besada té gust que s'acaba,
Punt i principi de viure sense tu.
Jo no sabia que en sa nit me tastaries,
Eren gustos que nedaven
Entre boques i racons.
Jo no sabia que després me mataria
Sa teva mirada
Que plora i diu que no.
I arriba un dia que sa vida és un teatre
Que se diu felicitat,
Primavera i trinaranjus
Amb qui més has estimat,
Te regal sa meva vida
I sense tu ja no me val.
I s'horabaixa la deixam passar i me mires
Tan a prop que me fa mal,
Que surt es sol i encara plou,
Que t'estim massa i massa poc,
Que no sé com ho hem d'arreglar,
Que som amics, que som amants (x2)
Dolça besada té gust que s'acaba,
Punt i principi de viure sense tu.

The lyrics of Antònia Font's song "Viure sense tu" depict the pain and confusion of a relationship coming to an end. The first two lines, "Dolça besada té gust que s'acaba, Punt i principi de viure sense tu," translate to "A sweet kiss has a taste that ends, the beginning and end of living without you." The sweetness of the kiss is temporary, and it marks the starting point of the singer's life without their loved one.
The following lines discuss the surprises and unknowns of the relationship. The singer receives geology manuals, and the two discover each other's quirks and smells. In the lines "Jo no sabia que en sa nit me tastaries, Eren gustos que nedaven Entre boques i racons," the tasting of each other represents a deeper exploration of each other's emotions and secrets. However, the discovery of these nuances only adds to the pain of the relationship ending.
The singer's life becomes a theater play, a façade of happiness and joy while inside they are dying. They give their life as a gift to their loved one, but without them, life is meaningless. The final lines, "Que som amics, que som amants," suggest the uncertainty of their relationship after the breakup. The last line, "Viure sense tu," meaning "To live without you," is a haunting reminder of the loss and the struggle to move on.
