Amor A Fons Perdut
Sau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
D'on les paraules s'escriuen per veure't
En l'infern de l'oblit.
Sóc un viatger oblidat
Sóc unes passes que vaguen per sempre
Dins d'una sala de ball.
Quan intento fer-te meva no vols
Ets un amor a fons perdut.
De la meva obscenitat
Sempre plou sobre els llocs humits
Quan intento fer-te meva no vols
Ets un amor a fons perdut.
Et veig mirant un llac
I m'arrossego en la terra per veure't
Fins arribar-te a tocar.
T'ofegaré en la nit
En la que els rellotges s'aturin per veure
El meu somriure envellit.
Quan intento fer-te meva no vols
Ets un amor perdut.
Sempre plou sobre els llocs humits
De la meva obscenitat.
The lyrics of the song "Amor A Fons Perdut" by Sau tell the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who seems unreachable. The song begins with the lines "Tu vens de molt endins/D'on les paraules s'escriuen per veure't/En l'infern de l'oblit", suggesting that she is someone who is hard to understand and whose words are written in a place where he needs to go deep to find her. The metaphor of finding her in the "hell of oblivion" suggests that she is someone who is not easily found and requires a deeper level of effort to connect with. The singer describes himself as an "oblivious traveler" who is wandering through life without direction or purpose, lost in a world that seems overwhelming and confusing.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Quan intento fer-te meva no vols/Ets un amor a fons perdut", which means "When I try to make you mine, you don't want to/You are a love lost in depth". The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the singer's frustration with the situation, as he cannot seem to make the woman respond to his advances. He describes his love as lost in the depths, suggesting a profound sense of sadness and loss that is difficult to overcome.
The lyrics are full of metaphor and poetic language, exploring the complexity of human emotions and the challenges of connecting with others. The theme of lost love is a common one in popular music, and Sau's song captures the sense of longing and frustration that many people feel when trying to navigate the complexities of romantic relationships.
