Benvingut als Pirineus
Pau Vallvé Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

BENVINGUT ALS PIRINEUS

Seguir uns ulls fins estimbar-se
Diu que demà plourà
Normes per viure sense normes
Que losers però que guai
A mi se'm conquista així, en pijama
Fem-nos tot Europa en tren

Que jo avui sóc de qui em vulgui
Benvingut als Pirineus

Però ara mateix sóc un divendres
i tu un diumenge és el que vols
Que en realitat busco EL diumenge
però de moment aixeco pols
donant roses de fogueig
que el millor sol és el d’hivern
I amb una sola frase al cap:
“Que diguin el que vulguin,
que si pensem el que diran
segur que no farem mai res”

Entre desig i germanor
Entre volcans i miradors
Entre llençols i apicultors
Entre YouPorn i More Than Words

Benvingut als Pirineus!

The lyrics of Pau Vallvé's song "Benvingut als Pirineus" capture an essence of freedom and nonconformity. The opening lines suggest following someone's eyes until one stumbles, possibly alluding to taking risks. The mention of rain tomorrow implies an unpredictability that contrasts with living without rules. The lyrics convey a desire to live without norms, embracing a carefree and unconventional lifestyle. The reference to losers being cool suggests a rejection of societal expectations.

The lyrics continue by stating that the singer is captivated by someone, just as they are, even if they are in pajamas. This exemplifies the acceptance of people for who they truly are. The line about traveling through all of Europe by train reinforces a sense of adventure and exploration. The final line, "Benvingut als Pirineus," translates to "Welcome to the Pyrenees," symbolizing the freedom and openness of the mountains.

The second paragraph portrays a specific moment in time. The singer acknowledges that they are currently experiencing a Friday while their counterpart desires a Sunday. This can be interpreted as a longing for a more relaxed and enjoyable day. The mention of "dusting off" and giving off ignition roses could represent igniting passion and excitement in life. The assertion that the best sun is the one in winter portrays a preference for the unexpected and unique.

The lyrics conclude with the realization that what others may say or think is insignificant. The phrase "Que diguin el que vulguin, que si pensem el que diran segur que no farem mai res" translates to "Let them say what they want, because if we worry about what others will say, we will surely never do anything." This serves as a reminder to live authentically and not let the opinions of others hinder one's actions.

Overall, "Benvingut als Pirineus" encapsulates a spirit of embracing freedom, rejecting societal norms, and living life on one's own terms.
