Entre canuts
La Gossa Sorda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i una barba marcada per hores de llum.
Pujarem als terrats a fer akelarres
i parir entre canuts poemes com escuts.
Renovar conviccions i afrontar un nou setge,
com a defensa primera ambició de crear.
Atacar l'atacant amb les armes més velles
i parir entre canuts poemes com escuts.
A la batalla
A la batalla
Escopir als cretins de la closca pelada
i a la primera calada fer-los recular.
Dibuixar entre tots un altre cal·ligrama,
ressorgir de la trinxera, soterrar-los dins del mar
Retindré a la pupil·la les nostres batalles
disciplina i cassalla, sagetes de fum.
Mentre queda actitud no s'apaguen les brases
per parir entre canuts poemes com escuts
A la batalla
A la batalla
This is my world
This is my only real world
La Gossa Sorda's song "Entre canuts" is a call to arms for those who fight for their beliefs and values, despite being surrounded by a society that may not understand or support them. The lyrics paint a picture of a society where time has lost its meaning, and those who stand firm in their convictions are the ones who will create a better future. The first verse describes a clock that no longer tells time, symbolizing a society that has lost its direction. The reference to a beard marked by hours of light serves as a reminder that time has a profound impact on us all.
The second verse describes a vow to renew one's convictions and face a new siege (perhaps of ignorance or oppression). The goal is not only to defend oneself, but also to create something new and better. The idea of attacking with old weapons calls to mind the history of rebellions and revolutions fought by everyday people, such as the silk workers from Lyon (canuts) who inspired the song. The final line about creating poems like shields reinforces the idea that in the face of adversity, creativity and artistic expression can provide refuge and protection.
The chorus ("À la batalla") is a rallying cry, urging all who hear the song to join the fight. The third verse describes the triumph over those who oppose them, spitting in the face of "cretins of the bald shell" (perhaps corrupt authorities). The image of drawing another "calligram" (a type of visual poem) together signifies solidarity and collaboration. The final lines about retaining battles in one's eyes and staying committed to one's attitude reinforces the idea that the fight is ongoing, and that creativity and passion are essential to persevering.
