Tanca Els Ulls

Txarango's 'Tanca Els Ulls' is a song that delves into the themes of comfort, guidance, and the pursuit of one's own path in life. The lyrics, sung in Catalan, convey a message of solidarity and support in times of uncertainty and darkness. The phrase 'Tanca Els Ulls,' which translates to 'Close Your Eyes,' suggests a sense of trust and letting go, encouraging the listener to find their way by relying on their inner strength and intuition rather than solely on their sight.

The song speaks to the universal experience of searching for a place in the world, a 'piece of land,' and acknowledges the internal battles that come with such a quest. The artist offers a sanctuary through music ('a circus of songs until dawn') and companionship, extending an invitation to seek refuge whenever one feels overwhelmed ('when it rains inside, come home'). The metaphor of stars as beacons on the horizon and the mention of sirens from the sea evoke a sense of adventure and the call to embark on life's journey.

The latter part of the song shifts to a series of hopes and aspirations for the listener. It expresses a desire for a life filled with genuine experiences, love without possession, and the resilience to heal from emotional wounds. The song ultimately defines living not just as existing but as adopting an attitude that fills life with meaning, emphasizing the importance of joy, love, and the healing power of moving forward.
