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

Una Cara Bonica
Mishima Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi ha alguna veritat en una cara bonica
Revela algun secret, la seva bellesa.
Perquè em fa feliç tornar-te a veure
Que em descobreixo una mica més quan et miro.
Tinc els teu rinxols, amaga...

Hi ha alguna veritat en una cara bonica
Revela algun secret, la seva bellesa.

Perquè em fa feliç tornar-te a veure
Que em descobreixo una mica més quan et miro.
Tinc els teu rinxols, amaga un per sempre,
Amaga un per sempre, amaga un per sempre més

El pas dels anys tindràs records
I alguns records voldran fer greu la teva cara bonica,
La cara bonica, la cara bonica que tinc al cor,

Cara bonica, cara bonica que tinc al cor,
Cara bonica, cara bonica que tinc al cor.

The lyrics also mention the person's hair, with the line "Tinc els teu rinxols, amaga..." which translates to "I have your curls, hide..."

As the song progresses, the singer contemplates how time will affect this person's beauty and how some memories may make their face sad. However, despite this, the person's beauty still holds a special place in the singer's heart, with the repeated line "Cara bonica, cara bonica que tinc al cor" which means "Beautiful face, beautiful face that I hold in my heart."

The lyrics explore the truth behind beauty, how it holds secrets about a person, and how it can affect others emotionally. Mishima's use of language and imagery creates a contemplative and thoughtful mood that invites the listener to reflect on their own experiences with beauty and the emotions it may evoke.
