Quatre Vents

Obrint Pas' song 'Quatre Vents' is a powerful anthem of resilience and defiance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey marked by emotional turmoil and steadfast resistance. The opening lines, 'A voltes sóc supervivent / Dels mates dels meus sentiments,' suggest a struggle with inner emotions, portraying the singer as a survivor of their own feelings. This theme of survival is further emphasized by the imagery of wounds and a long, sorrowful path, indicating the passage of time and the scars it leaves behind.

The song also delves into themes of global unity and personal strength. The lines 'I a les mans porte / Cinc continents / I al puny tancat un món sencer' symbolize carrying the weight of the world and holding it tightly in a clenched fist. This metaphor suggests a sense of responsibility and the power to influence change. The reference to 'cinc continents' (five continents) highlights a global perspective, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human experiences and struggles.

As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to that of a sailor navigating the seas, 'Solcant el mar contra corrent / He après a sentir-me insurgent.' This metaphor of sailing against the current represents resistance and rebellion against the status quo. The 'estel' (star) on the flag, 'Onejant sobre quatre vents,' symbolizes hope and guidance, fluttering in the winds of change. The recurring theme of feeling the 'revolta del meu temps' (revolt of my time) underscores a generational struggle for justice and transformation. Through its evocative lyrics and powerful metaphors, 'Quatre Vents' captures the essence of resilience, unity, and the relentless pursuit of a better world.
