Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Som amic dels esquimals que van per un camp blanc
que viuen sobre el gel i tenen molt de fred
Amic dels animals que van pel camp voltant
que foten el que volen i si volen no ho fan
Som amic dels caçadors que cacen tots els llops
en fara butifarres i sinó amb cigrons
cigrons...!
Som amic dels animals que van pel camp voltant
que foten el que volen i si volen no...
Som amic dels caçadors que cacen tots els llops
en fara butifarres i sinó... tu!
Tu no saps el que és sentir com una bèstia ferida
Tu no saps que és sentir com una bèstia et menja viu
Tu no saps el que és sentir com una bèstia et menja viu
Som amic dels animals que van pel camp voltant
que foten el que volen i si volen no...
Som amic dels esquimals que van pel camp voltant
que foten el que volen i si volen no...
pa pa ra pa va pa ra pa ra... uh...
pa pa ra pa va pa ra pa ra... uh...
sóc amic d'un arquitecta
que çes amic d'un lampista
que és amic d'un artista
amic d'un periodista
amic d'un gran baixista




amic d'un que és molt alt
amic d'un capellà integrista radical

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of El Petit De Cal Eril's song "Amic Dels Animals" reflect on the relationship between humans and animals, specifically highlighting the opposing views of those who are friends with animals, and those who enjoy hunting them. The song begins by establishing the singer's affiliation for animals, expressing solidarity with those who roam free in the fields, in particular, the white plains of the arctic region. He states that he is their friend, understanding their plight against the cold weather and their struggle to survive on the ice.


However, the song takes a deeper turn where the singer's message is further propagated. He also highlights the actions of hunters, who, in his view, are killing wild animals for no apparent reason. The second verse of the song refers to how the hunters kill the wolves and use their meat to make sausage or sometimes beans if they are poor. The lyrics go on to say that the singer is a friend of the animals and the hunters, a message which is strongly conveyed in the following lines, where the singer says 'tu,' signifying that the listeners are not aware of what it is like to feel like a wounded animal, or worse, becoming the prey of a vicious predator.


The song concludes with the singer reaffirming his friendships with people belonging to different walks of life, including an architect, a plumber, an artist, a journalist, a great bassist, someone very tall, and even an extremist radical priest. By referring to people from different backgrounds, the singer perhaps suggests that friendship can be established with people who hold different beliefs and perspectives.
