A Chamada da Néboa
Sangre de Muerdago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué sabemos nós que non saiban
Aspedras, a xiada e o Sol
Ou os Urcos do son

Verbas do luar
Bicos dende o alén
E os susurros das Mouras
Despiden o xerán

A seguinte mañán
O seguinte solpor
Desacougo no ar
E bágoas no chan

Chamemos ás néboas
Que carregan a luz, pois miña é a labor
De pasala ás túas mans

Ollando ó redor
Mais aló dos salgueiros
Xa non queda máis
Que marchar diste lar

Deixemos ista terra ás fillas do mar




Que fan o amor
E pelexan a dor

Overall Meaning

In Sangre de Muerdago's song "A Chamada da Néboa," the lyrics describe the uncertainties and mysteries of life. The introductory line, "Qué sabemos nós que non saiban" translates to "What do we know that stones, axes, and the Sun do not?" The singer suggests that there are things beyond human knowledge that the natural world understands better. They mention the "Urcos do son," which translates to "Bears of the dream," further alluding to the existence of things beyond human understanding.


The song then mentions elements such as the moonlight, whispers of the Mouras (a type of folk spirit or fairy in Galician mythology), and the passing of seasons. The lines "Chamemos ás néboas / Que carregan a luz" translate to "Let's call upon the fog / that carries the light." It suggests that light and clarity can be obtained from reaching out to the unknown and embracing its mysteries. The song concludes with the image of leaving a place to the daughters of the sea, who make love and fight pain, implying a cyclical nature of life and nature.

I love your music so much! I will never forget the first time I saw you live in Casa do Fauno, and how emotional I got when I heard Xordas for the first time. It was so so beautiful... Much love for you!
