Tramuntana

Anegats' song 'Tramuntana' is a heartfelt ode to the Serra de Tramuntana, a mountain range on the island of Mallorca. The lyrics capture the emotional journey of returning home, starting from the bustling city of Barcelona and culminating in the serene and powerful presence of the Tramuntana mountains. The protagonist eagerly anticipates speaking in the local Mallorcan dialect, highlighting a deep connection to his roots and culture.

The song paints a vivid picture of the Tramuntana as a formidable and protective force. Described as 'tupida i forta com un braç gegant' (thick and strong like a giant arm), the mountains are portrayed as a natural shield, offering protection and health to the island's inhabitants. The reference to historical figures like Dragut, a notorious pirate, emphasizes the mountains' intimidating presence and their role in safeguarding the island from invaders.

Anegats uses rich metaphors to convey the timeless beauty and resilience of the Tramuntana. The mountains are likened to the North Star, a guiding light for travelers returning home. The 'marjals' (marshes) that withstand the passage of time symbolize the enduring spirit of the Mallorcan people. The song's repetitive chorus reinforces the reverence and pride the artist feels for this natural wonder, making 'Tramuntana' not just a geographical landmark but a symbol of cultural identity and heritage.
