Soon there's only Sahara left

PorattuDrilled

Porattu is the past participle of the verb porata, meaning 'to drill'. It's a powerful and specific word that immediately brings to mind industrial action and environmental impact.

In the context of Evelina's song "Sahara," the line "Ku ollaa porattu meret" (When we have drilled the seas) paints a vivid and concerning picture of humanity's exploitation of natural resources. This word is not commonly found in everyday pop lyrics, making it unique and thought-provoking, perfectly capturing the song's urgent message about climate change and the destruction of our planet.

Ever felt like you're living for today without a thought for tomorrow? Finnish pop star Evelina dives deep into this feeling with her powerful song "Sahara". At first, the song sounds like a personal confession of selfishness. The lyrics repeat phrases like "Me, me, me" and "I'm not ready to change anything", painting a picture of someone who just wants to consume more and more.

But this isn't just about one person. It's a wake up call for all of us! Evelina uses this personal story to ask a huge question: What happens when we've polluted the land, drilled the oceans, and melted the ice caps? Her chilling answer is that soon, only a vast desert, the Sahara, will be left. The song warns that there is no other planet to escape to, making us think about the future we are creating right now.
