IZARO
Embracing Life's Unexpected Journeys
The song "Saldu Genizun" by IZARO, featuring Olaia Inziarte, is a poetic exploration of life's unexpected turns and the beauty found in embracing them. The lyrics open with a sense of missed opportunities and setbacks, as the narrator reflects on missing a bus and lacking money. Despite these challenges, there is a sense of clarity and acceptance, as the sky, though dark, is still visible. This imagery suggests that even in difficult times, there is a way forward, and not everything needs to be planned or expected.
The song continues with a metaphorical journey, where the narrator imagines choosing a white horse, symbolizing purity and new beginnings. Inviting a loved one to join them, the lyrics emphasize the importance of companionship and shared experiences. The darkness of the mind is acknowledged, yet there is a clear vision of what truly matters. This part of the song highlights the idea that life's true desires and goals are often not on a to-do list but are felt deeply within the heart.
As the song progresses, it celebrates the realization that the pinnacle of life is not in grand achievements but in the simple act of living and sharing the journey with someone special. The repeated question "Where were you then?" suggests a longing for connection and shared experiences. The song concludes with a call to return to a state of rest or peace, symbolized by the phrase "Itzuli gure loa," which means "return our sleep." This reflects a desire to find solace and contentment in the present moment, despite the chaos and unpredictability of life.
