Amor que m´ets amic - Lluís Llach Übersetzung ins Englische

Amor que m´ets amic

Segueixo viatge pel mar de l'afany,
Buscant l'amor amic perdut
Quan tempestes de corbs esquinçaren la llum.
Avui llanço la meva àncora al sorral dels estels,
La veig fendir l'enllà del cel
Que, com un vell oracle, espurneja el teu nom.
Dormiré al seu recer, bon amic, amor meu.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
D'Iquique a Coquimbo ets dempeus,
De Talca fins Guanguali sou dempeus,
Dempeus!
Dels jardins de Tabarka et portem llessamí
I l'or de l'olivar que a Delfos és dels déus,
D'Altea la flor del taronger adolescent.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
D'Arica fins Temuco ets dempeus,
De Chanco fins Taitao sou dempeus,
Dempeus!
Ets escrit arreu:
En el cor del destí
I en el ventre les dones et porten, amic.
Tornaran a infantar una antiga esperança
Entre els vells volcans i el mar de pau,
Quan la història executi als qui et foren botxins,
Quan els teus t'alliberin fent-se lliures per fi.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
Amor que m'ets amic d'aquell ahir,
Amic que m'ets amor pel devenir,
Dempeus!

Love that you are my friend

I continue my journey through the sea of yearning,
Looking for the lost love of a friend,
When storms of ravens tore the light.
Today I cast my anchor into the sandy sea of stars,
I see her cutting through the beyond of the sky,
Who, like an old oracle, sparkles your name.
I will sleep in his shelter, my good friend, my love.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
From Iquique to Coquimbo you are on your feet,
From Talca to Guanguali you are on your feet,
On your feet!
From the gardens of Tabarka we bring you jasmine
And the gold from the olive groves that at Delphi is the gods
From Altea the flower of the teenage orange tree.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
From Arica to Temuco you are on your feet,
From Chanco to Taitao you are on your feet,
On your feet!
It is written everywhere:
In the heart of destiny
And in the womb women carry you, my friend.
They will return to give birth to an ancient hope
Between the old volcanoes and the sea of peace,
When history executes those who were your tormentors,
When your people shall liberate you by making themselves free at last.
Allende... Allende... Allende!
Love that you are my friend from that yesterday,
Friend that you are my love for the future,
On your feet!
