Despite the fact they started singing in English, the five-piece band fronted by David Carabén started using his mother tongue around 2005 and paved the way for the new wave of indie bands writing songs in Catalan language. Loved by the press and with a fan base growing in geometrical progression, they’ve just released a new album, their seventh, recorded at the mythical Black Box Studios with the help of Peter Deimel (The Kills, The Last Shadow Puppets, Anna Calvi). Hailed as their best, “L’ànsia que cura” (TRIS-Warner, 2014), captures the raw energy of their live set and a sophisticated range of influences including The Smiths and JG. Ballard, Randy Newman and David Lynch, Tindersticks and the chanson française. Think The National born and raised by the Mediterranean Sea.

Band members:
Xavi Caparrós - bass
David Carabén - voice, guitar
Marc Lloret - keyboards
Alfons Serra - drums
Dani Vega - guitars

Sant Pere
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No sé si el pas del temps em resoldrà tots aquests dubtes
o si demà ens espera una resposta amb més preguntes.
Mai tornaré a ser aquell d'abans,
mai sabré del cert què hi ha rere els teus ulls,
però si demà apareix el sol entre les cases de Sant Pere
i entra aquí per encendre la mirada,
creu-me, amor, res ni ningú podrà amb nosaltres,
no res ni ningú podrà amb nosaltres.

Demà ens pertany i demà és per tu i per mi,
perquè demà ens pertany i demà és per tu i per mi...

perquè demà ens pertany i demà és per tu i per mi...
perquè demà ens pertany i dema és per tu i per mi...

Overall Meaning

In the song Sant Pere by Mishima, the lyrics reflect on uncertainty and doubt in a relationship, as well as the hope for a brighter future. The opening lines state "I don't know if time will solve all these doubts / or if tomorrow awaits us with more questions." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses their confusion and inability to truly understand their partner. They acknowledge that they will never be the same as they were before and will never truly know what lies behind their partner's eyes.

Despite this uncertainty, the singer expresses hope for the future. They mention the possibility of the sun appearing between the buildings of Sant Pere, which could "light up" their perspective and provide clarity. The repeated refrain of "tomorrow belongs to us" emphasizes this hope and their commitment to their partner. They believe that nothing and no one can come between them and their future together.

Overall, the song conveys a complex mix of emotions - doubt, fear, and uncertainty, but also hope, commitment, and determination to see the relationship through.

No sé si el pas del temps em resoldrà tots aquests dubtes
I am uncertain if time will resolve all of my uncertainties

o si demà ens espera una resposta amb més preguntes.
Or if tomorrow holds answers that lead to more questions

Mai tornaré a ser aquell d'abans,
I will never be the person I was before

mai sabré del cert què hi ha rere els teus ulls,
And I will never truly know what lies behind your eyes

però si demà apareix el sol entre les cases de Sant Pere
But if tomorrow the sun rises over the houses of Sant Pere

i entra aquí per encendre la mirada,
And comes in to ignite our gaze

creu-me, amor, res ni ningú podrà amb nosaltres,
Believe me, my love, nothing and no one can destroy us

no res ni ningú podrà amb nosaltres.
Nothing and no one can destroy us

Demà ens pertany i demà és per tu i per mi,
Tomorrow belongs to us, and it's for you and me

perquè demà ens pertany i demà és per tu i per mi...
Because tomorrow belongs to us, and it's for you and me...

perquè demà ens pertany i dema és per tu i per mi...
Because tomorrow belongs to us, and it's for you and me...
