With an almost religious meaning, El Petit De Cal Eril delves into the bone marrow of emotions more intimately human and exits with the right balance between nostalgia and optimism, serenity and hope. His latest album, Vol i Dol (2010), combines folk spirit, drops of psychedelia and above all, their own label, maybe it's because of the rural optimism, bubblegum smell and the noise of tractors of the Segarra, which is where Joan Pons was born, voice and spirit of the band.

I tantes figues
El Petit De Cal Eril Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ja surt el sol i encara no hem arribat
Ja es pon el dol i un pardal ens ve a saludar
Pujarem dalt d'un turó per veure com vola el falcó
Pujarem dalt d'un pi negre per veure com marxa
ja s'en va
Oh! Esmorzarem pa amb oli i sal
I narinant
no arribarem mai

ai ai ai ai ai ai ai...
Ja surt el sol i encara no hem arribat
Ja es pon el dol i un pardal ens ve a saludar
Pujarem dalt d'un turó per veure com vola el falcó

Pujarem dalt d'un pi negre per veure com marxa
ja s'en va

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to El Petit De Cal Eril's song "I Tantes Figues" convey a sense of wonder and adventure. The first verse describes the beginning of a journey or exploration, as the sun rises but the travelers have not yet arrived at their destination. The second verse hints at the passing of time, as the sun sets and a sparrow comes to greet them.

The next lines evoke a sense of climbing and ascending, as the travelers climb up a hill to watch a falcon fly, and up a black pine tree to observe its movements. The repetition of "ja s'en va" (it goes away) adds a melancholic note to the otherwise optimistic and curious tone of the song.

The final lines mention breakfast with bread, oil, and salt, and a feeling of not being able to reach their destination, as they sing "ai ai ai ai ai ai ai..." This could be interpreted as a commentary on the pursuit of something unattainable, whether it's a physical destination or a metaphorical goal.

Overall, "I Tantes Figues" captures a sense of wonder and exploration, while also hinting at the fleeting nature of time and the difficulty of achieving what we set out to do.
