Potrotaino

The song 'Potrotaino' by Piperrak is a powerful anthem of frustration and rebellion against social inequality and the oppressive structures of society. The repetitive chorus, 'potrotaino gaude,' which translates to 'we are fed up,' sets the tone for the song, expressing a collective exasperation with the status quo. This phrase encapsulates the sentiment of being overwhelmed and tired of the injustices faced daily.

The lyrics delve into the daily struggles of the common person, who wakes up with the intention of making a change but finds themselves trapped in a cycle of inaction and helplessness. The line 'zerbait aldatu nahi baina konturatzen zara bizitza horrelakoa dela' (you want to change something but realize that life is like this) highlights the resignation that many feel when confronted with the harsh realities of life. This sense of powerlessness is further emphasized by the depiction of a society where the rich hold all the power, and the ordinary person is left feeling weak and insignificant.

However, the song also carries a message of resistance and the importance of taking action. The lyrics urge listeners not to follow the deceitful games of the wealthy ('beraien azpijokoa ez duzu jarraitu behar') and to stand firm against oppression. The call to 'ekin gogor haien aurka' (fight hard against them) serves as a rallying cry for solidarity and collective action. Piperrak's punk rock style, known for its raw and rebellious energy, perfectly complements the song's themes, making 'Potrotaino' a stirring call to arms against social and economic injustice.
