El que diuen els arbres

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i les posà en la terra
i em cremà per un moment.
""tu vens d'ací, no pots canviar això"".
Ell entenia tot el que deien els arbres,
jo només sentia vent.
Em va alçar contra el cel
i esclatà la meua ment.
""jo sóc d'ací, no puc canviar això"".
i vaig entendre tot el que deien els arbres
on només sentia vent.
Hem de fer més
per a avançar més;
si és sostenible
es farà visible.
Des del meu lloc
fins el més remot;
sembrar ací
per a collir allí.
Interpretar un altre repertori:
salvar a pams el propi territori.
Un nou model
un nou poder
per a fer més
no renunciar a res.
Hem de fer un esforç
per a escoltar els arbres
o només quedarà vent!
In Feliu Ventura's song "El que diuen els arbres" ("What the Trees Say"), the lyrics capture a powerful message about identity, connection to nature, and the importance of sustainable action. The opening lines depict a moment where someone takes the singer's hands and places them on the earth, causing a brief moment of intense sensation, as if being "burned." The statement that follows – "you come from here, you can't change that" – suggests a recognition and acceptance of one's roots and origins. While the singer only feels the wind, the other person seemingly understands everything the trees are saying.
The scene then shifts to the singer being lifted up into the sky, enabling them to see a broader perspective. As their mind is overwhelmed, they realize their own connection to their homeland, expressing that "I am from here, I can't change that." Hence, they understand everything the trees are saying, despite only hearing the wind.
The following section conveys a call to action, emphasizing the need to do more to progress and make sustainable choices. If something is sustainable, it will become visible and lead to positive change. It is a plea to work from one's own place to the most remote, to plant seeds here in order to harvest there. There is a suggestion of interpreting a different repertoire or taking different actions to save and protect one's own territory. It advocates for a new model and power to do more and not give up on anything.
