Collarets de llum
Rauxa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s′adorm
Tot és de joguina

Un estel petit
Obre l'ull i parla
On serà l′amor

Que no puc trobar-la

On serà l'amor?
Fa la lluna bruna
L'he buscat pertot
Que n′estic dejuna

I l′amor ocult
Entre satalies
Riu que riu content
De ses traïdories

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s'adorm
Tot és de joguina

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s′adorm
Tot és de joguina

Un estel petit
I en la lluna clara
Cercar a l'amor
Més i més encara

Se′n riuran els camps
I les ribes pures
I els pollancs i el riu
I el pla i les altures

Se'n riuran els grills
I els ocells cantaires
I el vent remorós
I els follets rondaires

I ell, entaforat
Entre satalies
Contarà a la nit
Noves traïdories

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s′adorm
Tot és de joguina

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s'adorm
Tot és de joguina

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s'adorm
Tot és de joguina

Collarets de llum
Quan la tarda fina
Si el rostoll s′adorm
Tot és de joguina

Collarets de llum
Collarets de llum
Collarets de llum
Collarets de llum

Collarets de llum
Collarets de llum

Collarets de llum
Collarets de llum

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rauxa's song Collarets de llum are a dreamy and poetic meditation on love and the search for it. The song opens with a description of a peaceful, almost magical scene: when the evening light fades and the hills fall asleep, everything seems like a toy, as if the world were made of playthings. But this mood of reverie is quickly disrupted by the singer's question: where is the love that I can't find? The moon replies, with a touch of melancholy, that it's been searched for everywhere but hasn't been found, leaving the singer hungry and wanting.

The rest of the song moves between these two moods: moments of hope and wonder (the singer's determination to keep searching, to look for love more and more), and moments of frustration and disappointment (the love that's hidden among satellites, apparently reveling in its own betrayals). The refrain of the song, repeated several times with variations, is "Collarets de llum" (necklaces of light), which seems to be both an expression of wonder at the world and a way of soothing oneself in the midst of a search that seems to have no end. Overall, the song is a beautiful reflection on the complexities of love and the relationship between longing and hope.
