Quan Ens Creuem

Joan Dausà's song 'Quan Ens Creuem' delves into the depths of unspoken love and the intense emotions that accompany it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply infatuated with someone they frequently encounter but have never truly connected with. The protagonist imagines various scenarios where they could express their feelings, from being stuck in an elevator together to heroically rescuing the object of their affection. These daydreams highlight the intensity of their emotions and the lengths they would go to just to be noticed.

The recurring theme of crossing paths ('Quan ens creuem') signifies the fleeting moments of connection that the protagonist cherishes. Each encounter, no matter how brief, is monumental to them. The line 'El meu destí es posa dempeus' (My destiny stands up) suggests that these moments feel like destiny, as if the universe is conspiring to bring them together. However, despite these powerful feelings, there is a sense of frustration and longing, as the protagonist's emotions remain unacknowledged by the other person.

Dausà's lyrics also touch on the small, everyday actions driven by love, such as waking up early to buy bread just to have a chance to see the person. These actions, though seemingly insignificant, are imbued with deep meaning for the protagonist. The song captures the bittersweet nature of unrequited love, where the protagonist's feelings are both a source of joy and pain. The final lines, where the protagonist's destiny applauds and confesses a secret that 'tothom sap però tu no el sents' (everyone knows but you don't hear), encapsulate the essence of unspoken love—an open secret that remains unacknowledged by the one who matters most.
