Musturrek Sartunde

Gatibu's 'Musturrek Sartunde' is a song that captures the intensity and secrecy of a passionate, possibly clandestine relationship. Sung in the Basque language, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desire that transcends the language barrier. The song's title, which can be roughly translated to 'Kissing Deeply,' sets the tone for the intimate and fervent nature of the song's content.

The lyrics describe a scenario where the protagonist is sneaking around, unable to properly dress or tie their shoelaces, in a rush to meet their lover. The repeated difficulty with clothing serves as a metaphor for the disarray and chaos that passionate love can bring into one's life. The imagery of being physically close, holding hands, and the excitement of the first kiss in the elevator further emphasizes the physical and emotional closeness of the couple. The song captures the essence of a love that is so intense it feels like madness ('zoro moduen'), and the lovers are willing to throw caution to the wind, discarding their clothes without fear as they embrace each other.

The song also touches on the theme of time, with references to being late and the fleeting nature of moments together. This could suggest that the relationship is an affair or otherwise time-constrained, adding to the urgency and the need to make the most of every second. The repeated departure without saying goodbye ('Agur esan barik') hints at the bittersweet reality of such a relationship, where moments of passion are interspersed with abrupt endings and the anticipation of their next encounter.
