CÓRRER PELS CAMPS

The song 'CÓRRER PELS CAMPS' by Oques Grasses, a Catalan band known for their blend of pop, reggae, and funk, delves into themes of nostalgia, self-reflection, and the desire to reconnect with the simplicity of childhood. The lyrics express a longing to return to a time when life was less complicated, as symbolized by the act of running through the fields as a ten-year-old. This metaphor suggests a yearning for freedom and the innocence of youth, a common sentiment that resonates with many listeners who recall their own carefree days.

The singer acknowledges personal mistakes and the difficulty of accepting them, which is a universal struggle. The reference to loving poorly and witnessing sadness ('Que trist va ser veure’t plorant l’últim moment') indicates a past relationship or experience that left a mark. Despite the pain and fear ('Tant patir, Tanta por'), there is a sense of self-acceptance and the realization that even though certain people are no longer present ('Ja no hi ets'), their influence remains within ('estic amb mi').

The song also touches on the passage of time and the changes it brings, both good and bad. The lyrics speak of the enduring impact of first love and the dreams that persist without the need for sleep. There's a recognition of the mixed emotions carried within and the acknowledgment that life continues, with all its experiences contributing to one's growth ('Passa el temps i tot serveix'). Ultimately, 'CÓRRER PELS CAMPS' is a reflective piece that encourages embracing the past while continuing to move forward with the lessons learned.
