Avui

Els Catarres' song 'Avui' is a powerful anthem of renewal and resilience. The lyrics speak to the idea of rising above past hardships and embracing a brighter future. The opening lines, 'Per damunt del vell passat s'aixeca un nou demà al teu costat,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the emergence of a new tomorrow alongside a loved one. This theme of overcoming adversity is further reinforced with the lines, 'Per damunt de tots els mals ens alçarem més forts I més lleials,' suggesting that through unity and loyalty, one can become stronger and more steadfast.

The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative. Phrases like 'Avui al meu camí de pedra I fang hi neixen flors' and 'Avui ballo descalç sobre les brases de la por' paint a picture of beauty and courage emerging from difficult circumstances. The transformation from a monochrome world to one filled with color, as described in 'Avui el blanc I negre del meu món es fa color,' symbolizes a shift from despair to hope. The 'ferotge' light that 'esquinça la foscor' represents the powerful force of love and positivity that can break through darkness.

The song also touches on themes of self-determination and rebirth. Lines like 'Avui no hi ha paraules per descriure el que sentim' and 'Avui la vida ens guia amb la veu que ens neix a dins' highlight the profound, indescribable emotions that come with personal growth and transformation. The declaration 'Avui ens hem cansat de ser titelles del destí' signifies a rejection of being mere puppets of fate, while 'Avui podem renéixer de les cendres de l'ahir' encapsulates the idea of rising anew from the ashes of the past. 'Avui' is a celebration of resilience, love, and the human spirit's capacity for renewal.
