This song is a bop (as are all the songs on this album), but I thought if I translated it then maybe I could convince some of you guys to scream over Rosa permanent with me. Anyways, please enjoy, and also listen to their whole album!
A tu, que ets llavor i que creixes lliure
You, who are a seed and growing free
t’he vist en els ulls milers d’estels.
I’ve seen thousands of stars in your eyes
Dins teu surt la llum de la ferida
Inside you, light emerges from the wound
que ha cicatritzat amb temps.
That has scarred over with time
[ PRE-TORNADA:
Tot el plor del món no n’abasta gens
All the tears in the world won’t encompass it at all
per del pit omplir el forat, per estimar tot el que es perd.
To fill the hole in your chest, to love all that is lost
Plorem del riure que ens fa la vida,
Let’s cry from the laughter that makes our life
brindem pels amors eterns.
Let’s toast to eternal loves ]
Cada llàgrima que et cau (dibuixa el teu camí)
Every tear that falls from you (draws your path)
Full en blanc, esperit d’estrip.
A blank page, the spirit of shreds
Cada pas que et fa saber (dibuixa el teu destí)
Every step that makes you know (draws your destiny)
Desplega l’ànima!
Bare your soul!
[ TORNADA:
Vesteix-te de somnis i utopies.
Dress yourself with dreams and utopias
Recull l’alegria dels mals dies,
Gather up the joy of your bad days
i torna, torna a brillar
And return, shine again
i torna més forta que abans.
And return stronger than before
Preferim ser un incendi que morir en el glaç.
We’d rather be a fire than die in ice ]
La por als moments difícils només posa llum
Fear in difficult moments just shines a light
a les teves veritats.
On your truths
Les millors coses arriben quan deixem el fum,
The best things happen when we leave behind the smoke
quan seguim l’estel fugaç.
When we follow the shooting star
[ PRE-TORNADA ]
Dins teu, dins teu reneix aquella llum que et fa viure.
Inside you, inside you, the light that makes you live is reborn
Dins teu, dins teu colpeja fort el crit que no dius.
Inside you, inside you, the cry that you won’t let out knocks insistently
Desplega l’ànima!
Bare your soul!
[ TORNADA X2 ]
The Evening of the Year - A November Playlist
Our twilight month November is
The evening of the year
The brilliant summer noontide left
A pallor soft and clear
I put together a little playlist of songs in multiple languages (the goal was as many as possible) which captured all the different feelings that November makes me feel. It’s a lot of indie and folk, and I tried to make it as chill as my music taste would allow. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Diversity win! Every single song on Roba Estesa’s new album is a bop
I was tagged by @acadiera to post my three comfort albums (your picks were Immaculate so idk if I can beat them), this is vaguely on topic for this blog because I’m screaming about music recs, so here goes:
- Equilibri by Blaumut. They always show up in my Spotify Wrapped as one of my most played artists and I get confused because I never remember listening to them, but actually I listen to this and 0001 so much as comforting background music, they are really excellent albums <3
- Ravalby Zoo. I mean??? one of the best albums of the 21st century, what can I say
- Esnesaltzailearena by Esne Beltza. I’m sorry sir, that’s my emotional support trikitixa.
(Honorable mention to Ibn el-Leil by Mashrou’ Leila but that’s my gay existential depression album and brings emotional spiraling not comfort so I don’t think it quite counts, also same for Translúcidby Smoking Souls)
I tag anyone who needs to yell about their music, please rec me some good and fun albums because I need large quantities of new music at all times to keep functioning ahaha
Not me back on my Niche Valencian Music BS™ but like….that album really never gets old huh
