Cançó XXI
Feliu Ventura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ve la saliva que em creix
i m'esclata entre les dents.
Assegut amb els dits freds
però amb l'ànima batent.
No entén una altra forma de cançó
que la que arrela al seu entorn,
i floreix en el futur com una eina
des d'on construiran el món
els pobles lliures.
""Sense pensar en cap altra posteritat""
De la llengua que he rebut
ve la paraula i el fet
quan conjugue el verb cantar:
quan cantar és menys que això
s'ennuega la raó.
No entén una altra forma de cançó
que la que parla pels qui no
tenen veu, mitjans ni força per a seguir lluitant
contra una història imposada, i la globalització
de la injustícia.
""Sense pensar en cap altra posteritat""
In the lyrics of Feliu Ventura's song "Cançó XXI," the artist reflects on the sources of inspiration and creativity that fuel his music. He starts by metaphorically describing how the saliva that grows within him bursts forth between his teeth, symbolizing the raw energy and passion that he channels into his art. Despite feeling the chill of his cold fingers, Ventura's soul is alive and pulsating with emotion. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the essence of his music and its role in shaping the world.
Ventura conveys a sense of rootedness and authenticity in his approach to songwriting, suggesting that he only understands one form of song: the one that is deeply connected to its surroundings. This form of music, he implies, has the power to flourish and serve as a tool for strengthening the foundations upon which free societies are built. By emphasizing the importance of this organic and locally rooted music, Ventura highlights its potential to be a catalyst for positive change and progress in society at large.
As he delves into the role of language in his creative process, Ventura acknowledges the significance of the words he has been given. He explores the act of singing as a transformative experience that goes beyond mere vocalization, suggesting that when he conjugates the verb "to sing," it transcends mere expression and becomes a powerful force that can drown out reason. This hints at the idea that music has the potential to evoke deep emotions and bypass rational thought, resonating with listeners on a profound level that defies logic.
In the closing lines of the lyrics, Ventura grapples with the weight of history and the challenges of contemporary society. He alludes to those who are voiceless, marginalized, and lacking the means to resist the impositions of an unjust narrative and the pervasive influence of globalization. Through his music, he seems to advocate for solidarity and resistance against these oppressive forces, emphasizing the need to create a better future for all. The repeated refrain of "without thinking of any other posterity" underscores his commitment to living in the present moment and using his music as a tool for social change without concerning himself with personal legacy or fame.
