La daga
ferran palau Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

M'he rendit al seu encanteri
No diré que no em van avisar
Pobre del que s'acosti a ella
Sucumbint al misteri amagat
Era massa fort
Era massa fort
Tu clava'm la daga al coll
Que jo abandonaré el cos

Tu clava'm la daga al coll
Que jo abandonaré el cos
M'he rendit al seu evangeli
No t'ho he dit però una força animal
Fent servir la seva energia
Se m'ha endut i ara no se tornar
Era massa fort
Era massa fort
Tu clava'm la daga al coll
Que jo abandonaré el cos

Tu clava'm la daga al coll
Que jo abandonaré el cos

Overall Meaning

In Ferran Palau's song La Daga, the singer speaks of being enchanted by someone or something, despite warnings against it. The singer says that they have surrendered to this enchantment, which is strong enough to cause others to fall under its hidden mystery. The singer admits to being taken by this enchantment and claims that it was too powerful to resist. The repetition of "era massa fort" (it was too strong) emphasizes the singer's helplessness and submission to the enchantment.

The lyrics take a darker turn in the chorus, as the singer implores the enchantress to "stab me in the neck" so that they can abandon their body. The repeated line "tu clava'm la daga al coll que jo abandonaré el cos" (stab me in the neck so that I can leave my body) has a chilling effect, implying a willingness to give up one's physical being in order to escape the intensity of the enchantment.

The second verse speaks of the surrender to this enchantment, which has taken the singer away, driven by an "animal force" that uses the enchantress's energy. The repeated phrase, "era massa fort," accompanies this verse as well, hammering home the idea that the enchantment is far too strong to resist.

Overall, the song speaks to the power of emotional or spiritual entanglements that transcend reason or control, and the dangers that can come with surrendering to those unknown and overpowering forces.
