Fisterra

Treixadura's song 'Fisterra' is a beautiful blend of traditional Galician music and poetic lyricism that captures the essence of longing and the beauty of the Galician landscape. The title 'Fisterra' refers to a place in Galicia, Spain, known as Finisterre in Spanish, which was believed to be the end of the world in ancient times. The lyrics mention various coastal towns in Galicia, such as Camariñas and Santa Uxia de Ribeira, evoking a strong sense of place and cultural identity.

The recurring phrase 'Eu tamen choro' which translates to 'I also cry,' expresses a deep emotional connection to the absence of a loved one, symbolized by the light of their eyes. The comparison of the beloved's eyes to the light that guides the singer is akin to the role of a lighthouse for sailors at sea. This metaphor is further emphasized by the mention of the sea and maritime elements, which are central to Galician culture. The song suggests that just as the moon is overshadowed by the sun, the singer feels overshadowed and incomplete without the light of their beloved's gaze.

The song also touches on the local culture, mentioning sardines from Aguiño and the beauty of the girls from Santa Uxia de Ribeira, which adds a layer of regional pride and folklore to the emotional narrative. Overall, 'Fisterra' is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the intertwining of personal emotions with the cultural and geographical landscape of Galicia.
