Polvorons amb mel
Sanjosex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A fora hi fa molta fred,
els dies ara són més curts i ja s’està fent fosc.
Diuen que va néixer un nen,
era un dia com avui de fa una pila d’anys.
Si almenys nevés aquesta nit,
demà els carrers serien ben blancs, seria tan bonic!

Els nens jugant fora els carrers,
Seria com una postal del dia de Nadal...

Tothom s’aixeca atordit,
de dulces i torrons, de neules i xampany.
Cada any xerrant, plorant, rient, cantant,
com si fóssim nens petits,
a taula ben juntets fins a mitjanit.
aquest any hi falta algú,
però n’hi ha un de nou que ja està dormint...

Que no heu escoltat,
Les cançons de Nadal?
Que no heu vist les llums?
Que il·luminen els carrers,
De la nostra ciutat.

Que no heu escoltat,
Les cançons de Nadal?
Que no heu vist les llums?




Que il·luminen els carrers,
De la nostra ciutat.

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Polvorons amb mel" by Sanjosex describes the arrival of winter and the shortening of days. It sets the scene as a cold, dark night where the singer wishes it would snow to create a winter wonderland. This is followed by a nostalgic scene of children playing outside on the streets, evoking images of Christmas postcards. The second verse describes the aftermath of the feast, where family and friends sit around the table, laughing and singing like little children until midnight. Other than the new arrival of a baby, the melancholy note of someone missing from the festivities is mentioned. The final verse is an invitation to appreciate the magic of Christmas: the Christmas lights illuminating the city streets, the songs heard everywhere, and the joy of the holiday season.


The overall mood created through the lyrics is both joyous and melancholic, as Christmas tends to be for many people. The song is about celebrating and cherishing the memories of the holiday season, but also a reminder that it can be bittersweet if loved ones are missing. It describes the magic of Christmas time as something to be appreciated and enjoyed, almost as if the singer wants the listener to take a moment and soak in all the goodness of the season.

A fora hi fa molta fred,
It's very cold outside,


els dies ara són més curts i ja s'està fent fosc.
Days are getting shorter and it's already getting dark.


Diuen que va néixer un nen,
They say a child was born,


era un dia com avui de fa una pila d'anys.
It was a day like today, many years ago.


Si almenys nevés aquesta nit,
If only it would snow tonight,


demà els carrers serien ben blancs, seria tan bonic!
Tomorrow the streets would be all white, it would be so beautiful!


Els nens jugant fora els carrers,
Children playing outside in the streets,


Seria com una postal del dia de Nadal...

Tothom s'aixeca atordit,
Everyone wakes up dizzy,


de dulces i torrons, de neules i xampany.
From sweets and nougats, from wafer biscuits and champagne.


Cada any xerrant, plorant, rient, cantant,
Every year talking, crying, laughing, singing,


com si fóssim nens petits,
As if we were little children,


a taula ben juntets fins a mitjanit.
All sitting at the table until midnight.


aquest any hi falta algú,
Someone is missing this year,


però n'hi ha un de nou que ja està dormint...
But there's also a new one who's already sleeping...


Que no heu escoltat,
Haven't you heard,


Les cançons de Nadal?
The Christmas songs?


Que no heu vist les llums?
Haven't you seen the lights?


Que il·luminen els carrers,
That light up the streets,


De la nostra ciutat.
Of our city.
