Mishima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ni tens les cames tan llargues ni el cos de ballarina
No ets gaire divertida, ni modesta ni sincera
Fent tard ets la primera tan a casa com a l'oficina
El per què ja no m'interessa ni si encara et fa ai el cor
la primavera
Se que tampoc et faig el pes amb aquesta veu desagradable
que la meva única higiene és per netejar-te la cartera
que m'ho prenc tot a la lleugera menys el tabac i la tv per cable
Però jo ja t'ho vaig dir, jo no et vaig mentir, va ser
la primavera
Aquella nit d'abril compartint paraigua sota el xàfec
la vam canviar per mil avorrides tardes l'un amb l'altre
Vam passejar els nostres reflexos pels carrers molls de Barcelona
Ara ens acompanyen com fantasmes que no obliden ni perdonen
Amb aquestes pells d'ortiga i aquests nassos de patata
cintura avall tot ens fa figa i tenim la sang d'orxata
Ens fa falta silicona pel davant i pel darrera
Ja no tenim trempera ni per cordar-nos les sabates
Però ja torna a ser aquí, ens vol a tu i a mi,
la primavera
Aquella nit d'abril compartint paraigua sota el xàfec
la vam canviar per mil avorrides tardes l'un amb l'altre
Vam passejar els nostres reflexos pels carrers molls de Barcelona
Ara ens acompanyen com fantasmes que no obliden ni perdonen
Sé que no us descobreixo res, però és així com ens menteix
la primavera
In the song "Menteix la primavera" by Mishima, the lyrics describe a deteriorating relationship and the lies that the spring season tells. The first verse portrays a sense of disillusionment with the person's appearance and personality. The singer suggests that the individual is not as attractive or charming as they appear to be, and they lack qualities like fun, modesty, and honesty. The spring season, symbolizing renewal and growth, is used as a contrasting element to emphasize the disappointment and deception in the relationship.
The second paragraph reveals the criticism and negative remarks exchanged between the two individuals. The singer acknowledges that their voice is unpleasant and that the other person comments on their aging, weight, and unstable mood. The only thing the singer prioritizes is taking care of the other person's needs, highlighting a sense of imbalance and the lack of mutual respect. However, despite the flaws pointed out, the singer claims to have been honest in their previous statements, blaming the lies and deceit on the spring season itself.
The third verse reminisces about a specific night in April when the couple shared an umbrella under heavy rain. This memory is contrasted with the dull and mundane times they now spend together. The singer suggests that they have traded the excitement and connection they once shared for monotonous afternoons in each other's company. Their reflections are described as "ghosts" that continually haunt them, unable to forget or forgive the loss of their previous passion.
In the final stanza, the physical appearance of the couple is depicted as less appealing, with "nettles" for skin and "potato noses." They have lost their allure and vitality, needing enhancements like silicon and lacking the energy even to tie their shoes. Despite their deteriorating state, the arrival of spring is portrayed as a force that desires both the singer and the other person. This highlights the ironic contrast between the promise of rejuvenation that spring brings and the reality of their troubled relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Menteix la primavera" capture the sense of disappointment, resentment, and longing within a failing relationship while juxtaposing it with the false promises of renewal symbolized by the spring season. The song expresses a bitter reflection on lost love and the deceptions we can self-impose through idealizing certain seasons or moments in time.

Ni els teus ulls són tan clars ni la teva pell tan fina
Neither are your eyes as clear nor your skin as delicate
ni tens les cames tan llargues ni el cos de ballarina
nor do you have such long legs or a ballerina's body
No ets gaire divertida, ni modesta ni sincera
You're not very fun, modest, or sincere
Fent tard ets la primera tan a casa com a l'oficina
Being late, you're the first, as comfortable at home as at the office
El per què ja no m'interessa ni si encara et fa ai el cor
The reason no longer interests me, nor does it make your heart ache anymore

the spring
Se que tampoc et faig el pes amb aquesta veu desagradable
I know I don't impress you with this unpleasant voice
Dius que he envellit molt i estic obès, que tinc l'humor inestable
You say I've aged a lot and I'm overweight, that my humor is unstable
que la meva única higiene és per netejar-te la cartera
that my only hygiene is to clean out your wallet
que m'ho prenc tot a la lleugera menys el tabac i la tv per cable
that I take everything lightly except for tobacco and cable TV
Però jo ja t'ho vaig dir, jo no et vaig mentir, va ser
But I already told you, I didn't lie to you, it was

Aquella nit d'abril compartint paraigua sota el xàfec
That April night sharing an umbrella under the downpour
la vam canviar per mil avorrides tardes l'un amb l'altre
we exchanged it for a thousand boring afternoons together
Vam passejar els nostres reflexos pels carrers molls de Barcelona
We walked our reflections through the damp streets of Barcelona
Ara ens acompanyen com fantasmes que no obliden ni perdonen
Now they accompany us like ghosts that neither forget nor forgive
Amb aquestes pells d'ortiga i aquests nassos de patata
With these nettle skins and these potato noses
cintura avall tot ens fa figa i tenim la sang d'orxata
everything below the waist makes us sad and we have the blood of horchata
Ens fa falta silicona pel davant i pel darrera
We need silicone in the front and in the back
Ja no tenim trempera ni per cordar-nos les sabates
We no longer have the strength to tie our shoes
Però ja torna a ser aquí, ens vol a tu i a mi,
But now it's back, it wants you and me,
la primavera
the spring
Sé que no us descobreixo res, però és així com ens menteix
I know I'm not telling you anything new, but that's how it lies to us
la primavera
