Oihu

Berri Txarrak's song 'Oihu' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of oppression, resistance, and the quest for freedom. The title itself, which translates to 'Shout' in English, sets the tone for the song's urgent and impassioned message. The lyrics express a deep frustration with the status quo, where the 'good news' for some is 'bad news' for others, and dreams for one group become nightmares for another. This dichotomy highlights the disparity and injustice faced by the marginalized or oppressed groups in society.

The chorus, 'Oihu egin nahi dut arima urratu arte,' which means 'I want to shout until my soul is torn,' underscores the intensity of the desire to break the silence and make their truths heard. The silence, described as deafening, symbolizes the suppression of their voices and the need to assert their own truths, which are just as valuable as those of the oppressors. This call to action is a plea for recognition and equality, emphasizing that their experiences and realities are equally significant.

The song also critiques the empty promises and superficial words of those in power, which often serve to insult rather than uplift. The reference to worshipped gods who will not save them from their incomprehensible pain and lack of freedom further underscores the disillusionment with false idols and empty rhetoric. 'Oihu' is a rallying cry for liberation, urging listeners to break free from the chains of silence and assert their own truths in the face of oppression.
