Neu a Menorca
Delên Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ets arbres estan vestits.
S′està millor aquí dins,
és com estar abrigat.
Fa dies que està ennuvolat,
Sa roba no eixugarà mai,
Es colors són inquietants,
Diuen que neva a Menorca
I que està tot blanc,
Que s'han tapat ses platges,
Es cotxos i es bancs.
No hi ha fillets en es parcs,
Però no s′avorriran,
Van tapats fins dalt
Amb gorros, bufandes i guants.
Diuen que neva a Menorca
I que està tot blanc,
Que s'han tapat ses platges,
Es cotxos i es bancs.
A tothom li agrada que nevi
De tant en tant,
Qui no té fotos de sa nevada
Del vuitanta-cinc.
The song "Neu a Menorca" by Dêlen talks about the cold and snowfall in Menorca, an island in Spain. The lyrics describe how chilly it is outside, and how the trees are covered in snow. The singer finds comfort indoors, where it is warm and cozy. The cloudy weather has been persistent, so the wet clothes will never dry. The colors of the environment are eerie, but still hold their beauty. The chorus talks about the rarity of snowfall in Menorca and how the island turns white. The beaches, cars, and benches are hidden under the snow. Even though there are no children in the parks, they won't be bored as they are bundled up with hats, scarfs, and gloves. The singer mentions that everyone likes it when it snows once in a while, and most people have photos of the previous snowfall in 1985.
The song's lyrics are short and concise, making it easy to understand, especially for non-Spanish speakers. The song infuses traditional island music with pop elements, making it a perfect blend of modern and traditional music. "Neu a Menorca" was highly popular in Spain and reached number one on the radio charts. The songwriters of the song were inspired by the lack of snowfall in the Balearic Islands and wanted to express the beauty of the island's rare snowfall occurrence. The song has become one of the most significant winter classics in Spain and is played during the winter season.
