Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desperts quan tothom dorm
Disposats a obrir camí
Quan ningú té res a dir
Creiem en l'amistat
I en la força de la veritat
Abraçant totes les formes
No ens han educat
Encara no estem programats
Escoltem el nostre cor
Ens agradem tal i com som
No ens fa res parlar
Acceptem la nostra identitat
No coneixem la por
Perquè no ens sentim mai sols
Som fills de la vella Babilònia
I obrirem les portes d'un món nou
Tot fent camí a la prosperitat
Des-de la sinceritat
Per aquests que encara no s'han trobat
Som els fills del mar
Que units fem un sol far
Anem directes a la llum
Fins i tot quan és tot fum.
Hem aprés junts a activar
Cadascú la seva part
Un dia vàrem descobrir
Que el que hi ha fora surt de dins
Massa temps desconnectats
De la pròpia autenticitat
Hem vençut a la foscor
Hem descobert el nostre to
Tu també pots començar
Pots caminar al nostre costat
Segur que tu hi tens molt a dir
Però potser has de fer-te sentir
Som fills de la vella Babilònia
I obrirem les portes d'un nou món
Tot fent camí a la prosperitat
Des-de la sinceritat
Per aquests que encara no s'han trobat
Vaig néixer per poder cridar la sort
I escriure les regles del meu propi joc
Que amb tu per ser molt a prop de tu
Sóc home, dona, nens i sóc com tu
Des-de la humilitat
Fent camí cap allà a on tot és veritat
Des-de la sinceritat
Per seguir fent passes sempre endavant
Som fills de la vella Babilònia
I obrirem les portes d'un nou món
Tot fent camí a la prosperitat
Sentim respecte pels que no s'han trobat
Vaig néixer per poder cridar la sort
Fer les regles del meu propi joc
Que amb tu per ser molt a prop de tu
Sóc home, dona, nens i sóc com tu
Vaig néixer per poder cridar la sort
I fer les regles del meu propi joc
Que amb tu per ser molt a prop de tu
Sóc home, dona, nens i sóc com tu
Des-de la humilitat
Fent camí cap allà a on tot és veritat
Des-de la sinceritat
Per seguir fent passes sempre endavant
The song 'Fills Del Sol' by Gossos is a call to unity and a celebration of individuality. Throughout the lyrics, the band emphasizes their belief in friendship and the power of truth. They also express their willingness to go against the grain and forge their own path. The chorus acknowledges that they are "Children of old Babylon" who will open the doors to a new world through honesty and sincerity.
The lines "We are the children of the sun / Awake when everyone sleeps / Ready to blaze a trail / When nobody has anything to say" set the tone for the rest of the song. These words paint a picture of a group of people who are tuned in to something beyond the ordinary. They are awake when others are sleeping, and they are willing to express themselves when others are silent. The reference to the sun represents the potential for growth and enlightenment.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful. It repeats the line "We are the children of the old Babylon / And we will open the doors to a new world." This implies that the band sees themselves as part of something larger than themselves. They are not just a group of musicians; they are part of a movement that seeks to bring about change. They believe that this change can only come about through honesty, respect for others, and a dedication to personal growth.
Overall, 'Fills Del Sol' is a song about hope and the possibilities for transformation. It encourages listeners to embrace their individuality while also recognizing the importance of working together. The band's message is universal and positive, and it continues to resonate with audiences around the world.

Que el que hi ha fora surt de dins

Hem vençut a la foscor
We have overcome the darkness
Hem descobert el nostre to

Tu també pots començar
You can also start
Pots caminar al nostre costat

Segur que tu hi tens molt a dir
Surely you have a lot to say
Però potser has de fer-te sentir
But maybe you need to make yourself heard
Vaig néixer per poder cridar la sort
I was born to be able to shout out fate
I escriure les regles del meu propi joc
And write the rules of my own game
Que amb tu per ser molt a prop de tu
Being with you to be very close to you
Sóc home, dona, nens i sóc com tu
I am man, woman, child and I am like you
Des-de la humilitat
With humility
Fent camí cap allà a on tot és veritat
Making our way to where everything is true
Per seguir fent passes sempre endavant
To keep taking steps forward
Sentim respecte pels que no s'han trobat
We feel respect for those who haven't found themselves

Gossos per mi és i sempre serà el millor grup del món mundial. Bona música, bones lletres, bon rotllo, bons sentiments i, sobretot, un gran desig de sacudir la societat adormida per tal que no tanqui els ulls davant cap injustícia.
