Hasi Eta Bukatu

Berri Txarrak's song 'Hasi Eta Bukatu' delves into the complexities of love and human emotions, encapsulating the transient nature of experiences and relationships. The title, which translates to 'Start and Finish,' sets the stage for a contemplation on the cyclical nature of life and love. The lyrics suggest that love is part of a collection of things that begin and end, highlighting its ephemeral quality. The line 'Pentsatu nuen biluzik geundela' (I thought we were naked) metaphorically strips down the superficial layers, urging a deeper understanding of our true selves and emotions.

The song contrasts what happens on the surface with what occurs beneath it. 'Azalean gertatzen dena maiz, Azalean galtzen da' (What happens on the surface often gets lost on the surface) suggests that superficial events and emotions are fleeting and easily forgotten. In contrast, 'Barrenean gertatzen dena, Azaleratuz' (What happens inside, surfaces) implies that deeper, internal experiences eventually come to light. This duality is a recurring theme, emphasizing the importance of introspection and the lasting impact of profound emotional experiences.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of memory and identity. The singer reflects on past memories, noting that they have already changed him ('Bi begi hiltzatu ohartu gabe jada ez nintzen' - Two eyes killed, without realizing I was no longer the same). This transformation is further complicated by the acknowledgment of contradictions ('Koherente naiz nire kontraesanekin' - I am coherent with my contradictions), suggesting a complex, multifaceted self. The song concludes with a poignant note on the potential for greater sadness, hinting at the ever-present possibility of deeper emotional lows ('Dena askoz tristeagoa izan ziteken' - Everything could have been much sadder).
