Denborak

Gozategi's song 'Denborak' delves into the complex relationship between time, truth, and human experience. The title itself, 'Denborak,' translates to 'Times' in English, setting the stage for a reflective journey through past, present, and future. The opening lines, 'Denborak egin nau / geroaren maizter / iragana joan da / ez dakusat ezer,' suggest a sense of being molded by time, becoming a tenant of the future while the past fades away. This evokes a feeling of disorientation and uncertainty, as the narrator grapples with the transient nature of existence.

The imagery in the song is rich and evocative. Phrases like 'han beldurra gainezka / enparantza desert' paint a picture of overwhelming fear and desolation. The mention of 'hitzak gauari loa / jango dio laister' implies that words will soon devour the night's sleep, hinting at the power of language and thought to disrupt peace. The struggle between two suns, 'Bi eguzkiren deman / ez dago itzalik,' symbolizes a conflict where no shadows exist, perhaps representing a battle between two truths or realities where ambiguity is absent.

The song also touches on themes of illusion and disillusionment. Lines like 'hegalik gabeko hegalaldi bat / pausorik gabeko ibilaldi bat / jaberik gabeko ilusio bat' describe a flight without wings, a walk without steps, and an illusion without an owner. These metaphors convey a sense of unattainable dreams and the futility of certain pursuits. The overall tone of 'Denborak' is contemplative and introspective, inviting listeners to ponder their own relationship with time, truth, and the ephemeral nature of life.
