Pols de Nimfa

Roger Mas's song "Pols de Nimfa" (Nymph's Dust) is a poetic and mystical exploration of an encounter with a nymph in a forest. The lyrics describe the protagonist being covered in fine dust by the nymph in exchange for a night of love. This dust symbolizes a transformative experience, leading the protagonist on a dark path towards a luminous paradise. The nymph's dust can be seen as a metaphor for an intoxicating and otherworldly experience that promises enlightenment or transcendence.

The song delves into the protagonist's internal struggle and heightened senses, as he feels a vivid tingling sensation and imagines himself entering Valencia on a donkey named Llebeig. This imagery suggests a journey that is both surreal and grounded in cultural references, blending the mystical with the mundane. The mention of Valencia and the donkey adds a layer of humor and relatability, grounding the fantastical elements in a recognizable reality.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's journey becomes more chaotic and uncertain. He describes flying low and dodging rocks, indicating a sense of instability and unpredictability. The reference to a bicycle at a prostitute's house suggests a moment of disillusionment, realizing that the journey may not lead anywhere meaningful. Despite this, the refrain of "Pols de nimfa, el camí fosc / Vers el lluminós paradís" (Nymph's dust, the dark path / Towards the luminous paradise) reinforces the idea of seeking enlightenment or a higher state of being, even through the darkness and confusion.
