The song ‘Ilargia’, performed by Basque band Ken Zazpi, is a ballad that delves into the depths of love and melancholy. The song’s lyrics reflect an intimate dialogue with elements of nature, such as rain and the moon, which are used as metaphors to express feelings and moods. The lyrical speaker asks the rain not to fall and loneliness not to visit him, suggesting a desire to avoid the sadness or painful reflection that these elements might bring.

‘Ilargia’ is a song that captures the complexity of human emotions in the context of unrequited or misinterpreted love. Ken Zazpi, known for their pop-influenced melodic rock and lyrics in the Basque language, uses poetry and music to explore universal themes of desire, devotion, and disenchantment.

David Johnstone’s rendering is a small improvisation of the tune, with implied harmony added… there are many double-stoppings, but no thumb position is used – it’s all in the bass clef!
