Dessota Dels Àlbers
Feliu Ventura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
ni el cel ni els estels
només et puc prometre el meu cos i sé
que potser demà ja no estarem junts
dessota dels àlbers.
Poesia que bressole amb els llavis
i que em fa devot de Santa Veritat.
Em desperta com un vers de l'Estellés.
M'acompanyaves tu i sentia el teu batec encara
I a dintre dels teus ulls he aprés a tindre una altra visió.
Poesia patrona de la vida,
s'agenolla davant teu el meu dolor.
Pregaria que la tipografia
fos fidel al cal·ligrama del meu cos.
M'acompanyaves tu i sentia el teu batec encara
I a dintre dels teus ulls he aprés a tindre una altra visió.
Poesia que bressole amb els llavis
i m'empeny contra el futur amb decisió.
No voldria aquesta vida meua
sense llibertat sencera i sense tu.
No et puc prometre el mar
ni el cel ni els estels
només et puc prometre el meu cos i sé
que potser demà ja no estarem junts
dessota dels àlbers.
Poesia
The first stanza of Feliu Ventura's song "Dessota dels àlbers" is a declaration of love that is both honest and realistic. The singer admits that he cannot promise grand things like the sea, the sky, or the stars, but he can give his body to his loved one. However, he also acknowledges the possibility that they may not be together tomorrow, as they stand beneath the trees. This creates a sense of urgency and poignancy that permeates the entire song.
The second stanza further explores the theme of poetry and truth. The singer describes how poetry lulls him to sleep and makes him a devotee of the "saint truth." He also refers to a wound that was inflicted on him on a certain day, which now wakes him up like a verse from the poet Estellés. This is a powerful image that suggests that pain can lead to creativity and beauty, and that it can also awaken a deeper connection to oneself and the world.
The third stanza brings the focus back to the lover who once accompanied the singer and made him see the world in a different way. The line "I have learned to have another vision inside your eyes" is particularly touching, as it conveys the idea that love can expand one's perception of reality. The fourth stanza is a prayer to poetry, asking it to be faithful to the calligraphy of the singer's body. The final stanza reinforces the importance of freedom and love, as the singer declares that he does not want a life without both.
Overall, "Dessota dels àlbers" is a tender and introspective song that celebrates poetry, truth, love, and the beauty of impermanence.
