Mishima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que bé coneix el seu medi, si li cal
com si a l'acte
com les fulles que s'agiten al vent
que canvien verd i plata
i deu ser per això que ets aquí
o sigui que no tinguis por i estira el braç
Vibrarà l'existència al teu puny,
tanca'l bé que s'escapa.
Deixa la corda però no tant,
que no ha d'oblidar que ets tu qui mana,
cal que entengui també que el vent la fustiga
i és poc a poc que ho haurà de saber.
Agafa aire, respira fons,
que no tot el camí ha de ser tan dur i
sempre hauràs de ser tu qui segui al davant,
sempre un militant per una època que potser no has de conèixer.
No esperis amb ansia collites que ningú et va prometre
apren a gaudir de veure com creix poc a poc la fulla
i s'enfosqueix el verd,
que Déu si existeix, et doni l'immens poder
de sentir en l'onada només un sol batec
L'immens poder d'un sol batec
L'immens poder d'un sol batec
These lyrics are from the song "El que em van dir" by Mishima. The song is about the importance of living in the present and being mindful of the beauty and complexity of life. The opening line speaks of the charm and enchantment of life, urging the listener to pay attention to it. The next few lines compare life to leaves blowing in the wind, changing from green to silver - a metaphor for the fleeting nature of existence.
The chorus is a call to action: "grab life by the horn, seize the moment." The lyrics say that existence will vibrate in your fist if you close it tight, but caution the listener not to close it too tightly - for fear that it may escape. The final lines urge the listener to breathe deeply and remember that, even though life can be difficult, it is important to stay true to oneself and remain a passionate advocate for living in the moment.
The song reflects on the beauty and pain of life - how living in the present is important, despite the hardships that may come along with it.

Mira com desplega davant teu el seu encant
Take a good look at how it unravels its charm in front of you
que bé coneix el seu medi, si li cal
Become aware of how well it knows its surroundings, and how it adapts accordingly
com si a l'acte
As if in the moment
com les fulles que s'agiten al vent
Like leaves that rustle in the wind
que canvien verd i plata
That go from green to silver
i deu ser per això que ets aquí
And that's probably why you're here
o sigui que no tinguis por i estira el braç
So don't be afraid, reach out your arm
vejam si l'agafes
Let's see if you can catch it
Vibrarà l'existència al teu puny,
Your existence will vibrate in your fist,
tanca'l bé que s'escapa.
So hold it tight, or it'll slip away.
Deixa la corda però no tant,
Let go of the rope, but not too much,
que no ha d'oblidar que ets tu qui mana,
Remember that you're the one in charge,
cal que entengui també que el vent la fustiga
But also understand that the wind may lash out at it
i és poc a poc que ho haurà de saber.
And it'll slowly come to realize it.
Agafa aire, respira fons,
Take a breath, breathe deeply,
que no tot el camí ha de ser tan dur i
Not the whole way has to be so hard, and
sempre hauràs de ser tu qui segui al davant,
You'll always have to be the one leading,
sempre un militant per una època que potser no has de conèixer.
Always a soldier for an era you might not even live to see.
No esperis amb ansia collites que ningú et va prometre
Don't eagerly expect harvests nobody promised you,
apren a gaudir de veure com creix poc a poc la fulla
Learn to enjoy watching how the leaf grows slowly,
i s'enfosqueix el verd,
And how the green darkens,
que Déu si existeix, et doni l'immens poder
So if God exists, grant you the immense power
de sentir en l'onada només un sol batec
To feel just one heartbeat in the wave.
L'immens poder d'un sol batec
The immense power of a single heartbeat.
