Gazte gera gazte
Herrikoiak
The Youthful Cry for Justice and Truth
The song "Gazte gera gazte" by Herrikoiak is a powerful anthem that captures the spirit of youthful rebellion and the desire for a better world. The lyrics express a deep dissatisfaction with the current state of the world, emphasizing the need for a cleaner, more just society. The repeated line "Gazte gera gazte, ta ez gaude konforme" (We are young, and we are not satisfied) serves as a rallying cry for young people who are discontent with the status quo and yearn for change.
The song explicitly states that it is not about politics but about justice and truth. The artist calls for the fulfillment of human rights and the exposure of lies, highlighting the universal desire for fairness and transparency. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "Nere abesti hau ez da politika, justizia nahi det, egiak agertu" (This song of mine is not about politics, I want justice, let the truth be revealed). The song's message is clear: the youth are not against anyone specifically; they are against lies and injustice.
Furthermore, the song touches on the themes of love and knowledge. The youth wish to live in a world filled with love but are also painfully aware of the lies, hatred, and injustices that plague society. The lyrics, "Gazte geralako maitasun batean bizi nahi genduke, bainan baita ere, gehiegi dakigu munduan dagozen gesur da gorroto ta injustizi asko" (Because we are young, we want to live in love, but we also know too much about the lies, hatred, and many injustices in the world), reflect this duality. The song also addresses the suppression of voices and the fear of being labeled a traitor for speaking out, emphasizing the courage it takes to stand up for what is right.
