Barcelona
Ezra George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still long to hold her once more, oh
My boots of leather
From Europe
I gather you know, know
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
In Barcelona
A native man sang in a foreign tongue
I still ache to know the song that he sung
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
I shut my mind and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
The song "Barcelona" by Ezra George is a love song that speaks about a person's longing for a lost love in the city of Barcelona. It discusses the pain of being separated from someone you love, but also the hope that through memory and imagination, they can still be together in the city that holds memories of their past love. The lyrics are poetic and full of imagery, with the use of metaphorical language and sensual description.
The opening lines of the song, "I still long to hold her once more, oh, my boots of leather from Europe I gather you know," suggests that the singer is reminiscing about a past love, with "boots of leather" perhaps referring to specific memories from Europe, possibly Barcelona. Throughout the song, the pain of separation is juxtaposed with the idea of still being together in spirit, "Every time you have to go, shut my eyes and you know, I'll be lying right by your side in Barcelona." The singer seems to be holding on to the idea that they will be reunited, while acknowledging that they may never actually see their love again.
At the bridge of the song, the reference to a native man singing a foreign song speaks to the idea of Barcelona as a place of cultural exchange and diversity. The mystery of not understanding the song could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the enigmatic nature of love and its many mysteries. The chorus of the song continues to repeat the name of the city, emphasizing its importance in the singer's memory and idea of their love.

Was lucky enough to be able to travel to Barcelona with my dad last week.
I've listened to this song for years, and walking the streets, seeing such a colourful and incredible place before my own eyes, felt like a privilege.
My parents travelled the world in their 20's. And I am slowly doing the same. I hope everyone here gets to experience that at some point in their lives.
