Cant Miner - Lluís Llach Übersetzung ins Englische

Cant Miner

Sé que si sento el plor
De l′ocell quan vola
Ets tu que en algun racó plores
Que, com l'ocell ferit
Ple de sang al pit
A l′arbre sec un niu implores
Però jo vull ésser
Per a la teva tristesa
Com el polsós i vell armari
Que guarda els mals records
Entre la foscor
I t'impedeix poder tornar-hi
Però aixecar-te no puc jo
Pas a pas, el teu esforç
Farà, només voler
Que en aquest teu desert
Puguin néixer noves branques
Obre el ulls i mira al front
Trobaràs sempre quelcom
Que vulgui el teu alè
Que digui: "Dóna'm fe
Vull seguir la caminada"
Sé que si enmig del mar
Veig una gavina
Lliscant dintre l′espessa boira
Ets tu que estàs cercant
Un recer, un empar
Un lloc segur entre les roques
Però jo vull ésser
Per a teva incertesa
El cop de vent que trenca l′aire
I t'obre l′horitzó
Per a reprendre el vol
Que et portarà a la nostra platja
Però aixecar-te no puc jo
Pas a pas, el teu esforç
Farà, només voler
Que en aquest teu desert
Puguin néixer noves branques
Obre els ulls i mira al front
Trobaràs sempre quelcom
Que vulgui el teu alè
Que digui: "Dóna'm fe
Vull seguir la caminada"
Sé que si sento el plor
De l′ocell quan vola
Ets tu que en algun racó plores
Que, com l'ocell ferit
Ple de sang al pit
A l′arbre sec un niu implores
Sé que si enmig del mar
Veig una gavina
Lliscant dintre l'espessa boira
Ets tu que estàs cercant
Un recer, un empar
Un lloc segur entre les roques

Miner's Song

I know that if I hear the cry
Of the bird when it flies
It's you who cries somewhere hidden
Who bleeds from a wound
Filled with blood in the chest
You long for a nest in a dry tree
But I want to be
For your sadness
Like a dusty old cabinet
That keeps bad memories
In the darkness
And prevents you from going back to it
But I can't lift you up
Step by step, your effort
Will make, just wanting to
That in this desert of yours
New branches may be born
Open your eyes and look ahead
You will always find something
That wants your breath
That says: "Give me faith
I want to continue the journey"
I know that if in the middle of the sea
I see a seagull
Sliding through the thick fog
It's you who are searching
For shelter, for a refuge
A safe place among the rocks
But I want to be
For your uncertainty
The gust of wind that breaks the air
And opens the horizon for you
To fly again
That will take you to our shore
But I can't lift you up
Step by step, your effort
Will make, just wanting to
That in this desert of yours
New branches may be born
Open your eyes and look ahead
You will always find something
That wants your breath
That says: "Give me faith
I want to continue the journey"
I know that if I hear the cry
Of the bird when it flies
It's you who cries somewhere hidden
Who bleeds from a wound
Filled with blood in the chest
You long for a nest in a dry tree
I know that if in the middle of the sea
I see a seagull
Sliding through the thick fog
It's you who are searching
For shelter, for a refuge
A safe place among the rocks
