Sarri Sarri
Kortatu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ez dakit zer pasatzen den
Azken aldi hontan
Jende hasi dela dantzatzen sarritan
Zerbait ikustekoa du
Bi falta direlakoz
"recuento generalean"
Irratikoak han ziren
Emititzen zuzenean
Paella jango zutela
Eta pitti eta sarri bere muturretan
Saltzan zeudela konturatu gabeak
Zaila dugo sortea
Doinu gozbrik
Sarri dio herriak
Txampainaz ospaturik
Iruñeako entzierroa
Desentzierroa hemen




San ferminen zapi gorriak
Zerua du estaltzen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kortatu's song Sarri Sarri speak about the festivities and chaos in the Basque Country during the San Fermin festival. The singer finds it difficult to comprehend what is happening around him as people dance with joy and excitement. He observes that something must have happened in the recent past that has brought people together to enjoy themselves. He goes on to say that there is a sense of general reckoning, a sense that something is going on and everyone is a part of it.


The lyrics go on to describe the scene where people are enjoying traditional Basque food such as paella and drinking to their heart's content. The singer notices that many people are enjoying themselves, but some are missing, and he assumes they are busy at work or in other engagements. The singer also notes the presence of people who are unaware of what is happening and are just dancing along without a clear understanding of the festivities.


In summary, the song captures the atmosphere of the San Fermin festival, where people come together to have fun, drink and eat traditional food, and dance to traditional Basque music. Despite the joyous ambiance, there is a sense of mystery, making it difficult for onlookers to understand what is really going on.

Me pasa igual. Desde los 15 y tengo 39. Aquí andaba buscándoles en youtube. No soy anarcocomunista. De hecho opino que la palabra anarcocomunismo es un oximoron. De ideología política me siento más identificada con el liberalismo. Si te jefe te quiere explotar no trabajes para él punto. Hazle la competencia. Crea tu propia empresa. El comunismo es robo... Pero bueno es un tema complejo. Sea como sea el buen rollo y la fuerza que emiten estas canciones ponen los pelos de punta y dejan sin aliento.
