El Nostre Meridià de Greenwich Privat
Litoral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
amb tot el seu groc esplendor
el cel coneix el nostre amor
i ho celebra amb explosions
Aquesta nit arribarem molt lluny
conduixes i tanques els ulls
eclipses al retrovisor
Va ser aquí
entre Port Bou i Madrid
on van rodar una vegada al home allunitzan
Paaaau paaaaau
...
La finestra parla amb el meu front
i més enllà només foscor
en aquest punt s'han presentat
el teu futur i el meu passat
Trons, petons
creuem el meridià
és Greenwich el nostre mirall
Paaaaau pauuu, papapapauuuu…
The lyrics of Litoral's song, "El Nostre Meridià de Greenwich Privat" or "Our Private Greenwich Meridian," convey a sense of wonder and romance. The first verse speaks of the desire to dine on the horizon with all its splendor, with the sky being the witness to the singer's and their lover's love, and celebrating it with explosions. The second verse describes a night journey that takes them far away, with the singer closing their eyes while driving and seeing eclipses in the rearview mirror. The mountains of linen at the end of the bed suggest a sense of intimacy shared by the couple.
The third verse is more cryptic, referring to a place between Port Bou and Madrid where something happened. It could be a reference to the film "Un Chien Andalou" by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali, which famously features a scene where an eye is sliced open with a razor blade. The final verse speaks of a window speaking to the singer's mind and the present and past intersecting. Thunder and kisses are exchanged as the couple crosses the Meridian line, with Greenwich being their mirror. Overall, the song creates a dreamy and enigmatic mood that invites multiple interpretations.

Jo, em soparia l'horitzó
I would have dinner with the horizon
amb tot el seu groc esplendor
including all of its yellow splendor
el cel coneix el nostre amor
the sky knows about our love
i ho celebra amb explosions
and celebrates it with explosions
Aquesta nit arribarem molt lluny
tonight we will go very far
conduixes i tanques els ulls
you drive and close your eyes
eclipses al retrovisor
eclipses in the rearview mirror
i al fons muntanyes de llençols
and in the background mountains of sheets
Va ser aquí
It was here
entre Port Bou i Madrid
between Port Bou and Madrid
on van rodar una vegada al home allunitzan
where once they filmed Almodóvar's All About My Mother
La finestra parla amb el meu front
the window speaks with my forehead
i més enllà només foscor
and beyond that only darkness
en aquest punt s'han presentat
at this point they have presented themselves
el teu futur i el meu passat
your future and my past
Trons, petons
Thunder, kisses
creuem el meridià
we cross the Meridian
és Greenwich el nostre mirall
Greenwich is our mirror
Paaaaau pauuu, papapapauuuu…
Pachow pachow, papapapachow...
