Os animais
Luar na Lubre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
u-ah!, u-ah!
Os animais de dous en dous
u-ah!, u-ah!
Van subindo á Arca de dous en dous
O boi, a vaca e o caracol
E soben cando chove e cando fai calor
u-ah!, u-ah!
Os animais de tres en tres
u-ah!, u-ah!
Van subindo á nave de tres en tres
A garza farta e o cempés
Din adeus coa súa patiña, andando do revés
Os animais de catro en catro
u-ah!, u-ah!
Os animais de catro en catro
u-ah!, u-ah!
Van de catro en catro os animais
E o saltón saltou de máis
Quere pillalo un home que filma documentais
Os animais de cinco en cinco
u-ah!, u-ah!
Os animais de cinco en cinco
u-ah!, u-ah!
E se van marchando en procesión
O lince, a ovella e o leirón
Ao afundirse a Terra, acaba esta canción
Cando se afunda a Terra, acaba esta canción
The song "Os animais" by Luar na Lubre is a lively and upbeat tune that is popular in Galician culture. The song talks about animals boarding Noah's Ark in groups of two, three, four, and five. The animals board the Ark in pairs during rain or shine, with the bull, the cow, and the snail being the first to board. The animals board in increasing numbers until they reach groups of five, with the lynx, sheep, and dormouse being the last to board. The song ends with the Earth sinking, bringing an end to the procession of animals.
The lyrics of the song are lighthearted and whimsical, but they can also be interpreted symbolically. The song could be seen as a metaphor for the cycle of life and death, with the animals entering and leaving the Ark in groups, as humans are born and pass away in groups. Alternatively, the song could be seen as a commentary on the importance of preservation and conservation of the Earth's many species, as the Ark is a symbol of protection and safety.
Overall, "Os animais" is a fun and catchy song that has become a beloved part of Galician culture. It celebrates the diversity and beauty of the animal kingdom while also reminding listeners of the importance of preserving and protecting our natural environment.
