Oreka
Berri Txarrak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esnatu berria naiz eta ez dut ireki nahi
libratuko omen nauen ate sorta.
Leihoekin aski zait, ez dago inor gure zai
jendez gainezka dagoen kale horretan

Argia profitatuz amets bat idatzi dut
herri nekatu honen azalean
Ea irauten duen,
badakizue hemen memoria ezabatzen digutela

Tristea da dena ospatu behar hau
oraindikan dena lortzeke badago
orekak ez du balio lurrean zaudenean
orekak ez du balio aspaldi jausi zarenean

Gure gezur propioak sinetsi ditugula
besteen gezurrekin aspertuta.
Lider bat behar dugula dio liderra izan nahi duenak

Tristea da dena ospatu behar hau
oraindikan dena lortzeke badago
orekak ez du balio lurrean zaudenean
orekak ez du balio aspaldi jausi zarenean

Argia profitatuz amets bat idatzi dut
herri nekatu honen azalean.





Lider bat behar dugula dio liderra izan nahi duenak

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Berri Txarrak’s song “Oreka” touch on themes of leadership, honesty, and perseverance through struggle. The first verse speaks to a desire to move forward and start anew, but also an apprehension to open up to new opportunities. The singer mentions a door that they feel could be their path to freedom, but they are reluctant to take that step. The second line speaks to the idea that their inner turmoil and fears are keeping them from unlocking that door. However, they also feel a sense of comfort in the window they are looking out of as they watch the people pass by on the street.


The second verse introduces the idea of writing down your dreams and taking advantage of the moments of clarity that can come from difficult times. The line “Ea irauten duen, badakizue hemen memoria ezabatzen digutela” (I wonder how long it will last, knowing that it erases our memory) speaks to the idea that the realization of a dream can sometimes come at a cost of what we knew before. This can make it difficult to remember who we were before that moment of clarity.


The chorus repeats the lines “Tristea da dena ospatu behar hau, oraindikan dena lortzeke badago, orekak ez du balio lurrean zaudenean, orekak ez du balio aspaldi jausi zarenean” (It’s sad, everything must be celebrated, if there is still everything to be achieved, peace is not worth it if you’re already down). The sentiment here is that despite the hardship and sadness that comes with struggle, it’s important to celebrate the victories and keep pushing forward as giving up is not an option. The final line speaks to the idea that finding peace or contentment is meaningless if it is found after a long and difficult journey.
