I les sargantanes al sol...
El Petit De Cal Eril Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sota d'un pont
dos mil matalassos
demolles i punt
no en farem mai prou
dolor de xiclet que arriba de lluny
seurem al carrer i passarem fred
fred...
Tan pròxim a tu que ho farem malbé
no ens direm mai res
dolor de fum que porta el perfum
que surt del teu coll
tres milions de munts de puntes de tub
dos mil matalassos de molles i punt
extremisme rural i olor de xiclet
soroll de tractors i olor de rostolls
per sempre més
per sempre més, per sempre més
sargantanes al sol...
per sempre més, sargantanes al sol
tres milions de fugues
que em porten a estar més a prop teu
dos mil matalassos de molles i perfum...
...i les sargantanes al sol...
The lyrics of El Petit De Cal Eril's song, "I les sargantanes al sol," convey a sense of discomfort and unease in the relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing. The opening lines, "Inhòspit com tu no en trobarem mai / sota d'un pont / dos mil matalassos / demolles i punt," suggest a physical distance between the two, but also a sense of alienation or incompatibility. The imagery of "two thousand soft mattresses" reinforces this feeling of distance, suggesting a separation between the singer and the other person that cannot be bridged.
As the song continues, the lyrics become more abstract, playing with images of smoke, perfume, and mountains of tubes. The repeated phrase "dolor de xiclet" (chewing gum pain) adds to the sense of discomfort and tension. The lines "Tan pròxim a tu que ho farem malbé / no ens direm mai res" suggest a closeness that is ultimately destructive, as if the two cannot coexist without causing harm to each other. This is further underscored by the final lines "tres milions de fugues / que em porten a estar més a prop teu," which suggest a cycle of running away and returning, but never finding a true sense of connection.
Overall, the lyrics of "I les sargantanes al sol" explore the complexities of human relationships, particularly those that are marked by distance, discomfort, and tension. The use of vivid imagery and poetic language creates a sense of atmosphere and emotion that lingers long after the song has ended.
