A La Deriva

Txarango's song 'A La Deriva' is a vibrant and hopeful anthem that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of unity. The lyrics paint a picture of a journey filled with challenges and dreams, where the heart is 'bulletproof' and the horizon is limitless. The imagery of breaking down borders and dancing through life suggests a sense of liberation and the pursuit of a better world. The mention of 'pols d'estrelles' (stardust) in the body of a loved one adds a touch of cosmic wonder, emphasizing the beauty and interconnectedness of all things.

The song also pays homage to historical figures who symbolize resistance and the fight for justice, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Víctor Jara, Che Guevara, and Rosa Parks. By invoking these names, Txarango aligns their message with a legacy of social activism and the quest for equality. The lyrics 'Atrapar la lluna plena' (catch the full moon) and 'Creuar junts tota la terra' (cross the whole earth together) evoke a sense of adventure and collective effort in seeking a new world. The idea of 'rebentar tots els rellotges' (breaking all the clocks) and 'apagar el motor ferotge' (turning off the ferocious engine) suggests a desire to escape the relentless pace of modern life and start anew.

The chorus, 'Que la vida es pari fins que surti el sol' (let life stop until the sun rises), captures the essence of living in the moment and finding joy amidst uncertainty. The song's closing lines celebrate the transformative power of dance and the shared struggle for freedom, with 'som el poble viu, la flama en la foscor' (we are the living people, the flame in the dark) highlighting the enduring spirit of the community. 'A La Deriva' is a call to embrace life with passion, solidarity, and an unwavering belief in a brighter future.
