No He Nascut Per Militar
Sau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
callant la veu, les mans,
he de dormir.
Oh, les nits que mai s'acaben
els dies són més curts
quan estic tancat a casa
sense projectes, sense tu.
El meu pols, com una espasa
he quedat descalçvcom únic futur
no em veig en els miralls.
I m'han quedat els ulls en blanc de soletat
sóc un covard però avui tindré cor de soldat.
Oh, els matins que mai s'acaben
de nits pensaré en tu
quan estigui lluny de casa
sense projectes, sense tu
Canviaran la meva roba,
el meu nom, el meu cabell.
Em donaran una arma blanca, roba verda
i un fusell.
No em pegui no he nascut per militar
no em pegui jo no vull anar a fer el soldat.
The lyrics of Sau's song "No He Nascut Per Militar" describe the inner turmoil and fear felt by a young man who is being forced to serve in the military. The opening lines portray the character's feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, as he has been reduced to silence and must sleep in order to escape his thoughts. He reflects on the never-ending nights that seem to last forever, while the days feel shorter without anything to look forward to, especially when he's away from his loved one. The references to the sword and cutting of his past imply that the singer is struggling to reconcile his identity as an individual with his obligation to serve.
The chorus of the song reveals the ultimate fear and desperation of the young man being forced to serve in the military. He is being stripped of his identity as his clothes and name are changed. He is given a weapon and made to wear green, symbolic of military uniformity, erasing his identity as an individual. Despite this conformity, he refuses to go quietly, stating that he was not born to be a soldier and will not be beaten down.
The final verse enforces the character's fear and desperation, as he pleads with his superior not to hit him, while acknowledging his cowardice but vows to have the heart of a soldier. The lyrics portray the psychological battle of self-identity and military conformity and the challenges individuals face when forced to join the military against their will.

Aquí el tens: Jo no vaig néixer per militar, però els grans homes saben servir a la seva família i al seu país de la manera més adequada, pregant per a que sempre sigui en Pau.
