Busca i captura
El Petit De Cal Eril Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Busca i captura d'un criminal que escapa del banc
Busca i captura una vida més plena que abans
De sempre es pregunta
Com s'ha de ser per fer-ho tot bé
Aquesta és la historia que per fi un dia el va fer ser
Surt tremolant
El cor li batega i li suen les mans
Busca i captura
Sent la sirena que ja el ve a buscar
De sobte s'adona que un tret directe ja l'ha atrapat
Li sangra l'esquena
I l'últim que pensa és que tot s'ha acabat
I quan la seva ànima s'aparta del cos li parla
Si sempre havies estat tan bo
Quina injustícia tan gran aquest tret tan fulminant
Senyor policia
Quina putada




Pobre cuquet que se't mengen les formigues!
Pobre somni que et desprecia i no et despertes!

Overall Meaning

The song "Busca i Captura" by El Petit de Cal Eril follows the story of a criminal who is on the run from the police. The first verse describes how the character is searching for a more fulfilling life than what they had before. They are questioning how they can do everything right, and this is the story that eventually leads them to their criminal ways. In the chorus, the character is sought after by the police and eventually shot. As they are dying, they realize they have been caught by their own doing, and they speak to their own soul, wondering why they could not have lived a better life.


The lyrics in this song twist the traditional narrative of a criminal on the run from the law. Instead of focusing on the chase or the danger, the song gives insight into the character's thoughts and motivations, which makes the story more human and relatable. The chorus contrasts dramatically with the internal conflict of the singer, and the contrast creates a dynamic and emotional effect.


One interpretation of the song is that it is a commentary on societal expectations and the pressure to always do the right thing. The character in question wants to live a good life but is unable to escape the criminal tendencies that ultimately lead to their downfall. The song seems to suggest that sometimes people are placed in impossible situations, and that even if they try to do the right thing, they can still fall prey to their own limitations.
