Els Pets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se que li vas prometre el cel malgrat que no tel demanava,
em vareu fer el confident del seu dolor i la teva barra
de dia ell d'amic del cel de nit el teu company de farra
i un dijous extrany, mascarant enganys,
vaig notar espantat, que l'estimava
Parla, que jo t'escolto enlluernat i em perdo
si et tingues
Des del primer moment vas ser el millor company de plors i festes
sempre fidel guardant discret l'estat de les meves conquestes
Vaig tornar aviat, sense haver avisat,
i al desar la clau, alla estaveu
Parla, que jo t'escolto derrotat i em perdo
Parla, que necessito el teu consell com sempre
Parla, mira que mai m'hagues pensat veuret tan mut
tan venut
Parla, cal explicar-te que hi ha coses que no es
parlen, com pot entendre que ningu es culpable
Parla'm, creute que mai t'auria vulgut veure't tan mut, tan ven
ut
The song "Parla" by Els Pets talks about a complicated relationship between the singer and the person they are addressing in the song. The opening lines indicate that the person being addressed had the ability to entangle and deceive the singer easily. They promise heaven, despite not asking for it, and make the singer their confidant for their pain and partner in crime at night. However, the singer realizes they are in love with this person on a strange Thursday, and they want them to speak to them about what they feel.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how the person being addressed was their best companion, always loyal and discreet about their conquests, whether they were tears or parties. However, the singer returns home without warning and finds the person being addressed there. The chorus repeats, begging the person to speak, and the singer is lost without them. The final line suggests that there are things that cannot be explained or spoken about, but the person needs to talk to the singer so they can understand.
