Sopa De Cabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ja vençuts, esperaran com sempre han fet, l'aventura d'una nit,
Mentre ploren, de ràbia i per amor, a un nom inexistent
Mentre riuen dins núvols pasatgers, cada dia més distants
Corren sols, seguint pistes per trobar el refugi de l'acció
Un amic que no estigui massa vist o una ofrena de la carn
Que a vegades, quan s'apaga el primer foc, pot fer encara més mal
I així acaben, quan ja tot ha passat, cremats per la veritat i cridant
Podré tornar enrera, quan estigui massa lluny
Podré tornar enrera, quan sigui massa tard...
Són germans, d'un camí que no ha tingut mai sorida ni final
Saben bé que el futur és la foscor i que el negre és el color
D'una bandera, bruta i plena de sang, que els hi han posat a les mans
Però no es rendeixen, somien il·lusions fent himnes de cançons i criden
Podré tornar enrera, quan estigui massa lluny
Podré tornar enrera, quan sigui massa tard...
The song "Podré Tornar Enrera" by Sopa De Cabra is an emotional reflection on the struggles of life and the longing for redemption. The lyrics describe a group of people who are running through crowded streets with wounded hearts, spitting on their failures. They are defeated and exhausted, waiting for the adventure of the night. They cry out of anger and love for a name that doesn't exist anymore, while others are laughing in passing clouds that are becoming more and more distant every day. They are continuously searching for a safe haven where they can find refuge in action, looking for a friend who is not visible or a sacrifice of the flesh that may cause even more harm when the first fire burns out. In the end, they are burned by the truth and screaming for mercy.
The song conveys a sense of desperation and confusion about the future, despite their dreams of illusions and hymns of songs. They understand that the path they have taken has no way out or ending, and the black color of the flag of their fate is bleeding with blood. However, they refuse to give up; they still hope to find solace in something that will lead them back to the past when everything was better. They are hoping to go back to when they were not too far away and when it was not too late to make amends.
