Jo tambe he dormit a l'alba - Lluís Llach Übersetzung ins Englische

Jo tambe he dormit a l'alba

Jo també he dormit a l′alba
Sota una olivera
I em creia a resguard
I he vist les nits fonent-se
Com tristes espelmes, dreceres enllà
Quan dic les cançons
Manquen paraules
Però, per cada tros d'hora passada
Esperem l′esforç de tots els actes
He sentit els cants d'ocells
A les branques i al vent
Entre somnis i enganys
Quan dic les cançons
Manquen paraules
Però, per cada tros d'hora passada
Esperem l′esforç de tots els actes
Però he tornat a sentir lenta
Una alba trencada coberta de dol
I he viscut a mil empentes
Perdut ja per sempre
El somni esquinçat
Jo també he dormit a l′alba
Sota una olivera
I em creia a resguard
I he vist les nits fonent-se
Com tristes espelmes, dreceres enllà

I Have Also Slept at Dawn

I have also slept at dawn
Under an olive tree
And I thought I was safe
And I have seen the nights melting away
Like sad candles, along shortcuts
When I sing my songs
Words are missing
But for each piece of the past hour
We wait for the effort of all the acts
I have heard the birds singing
On the branches and in the wind
Between dreams and deceptions
When I sing my songs
Words are missing
But for each piece of the past hour
We wait for the effort of all the acts
But I have heard again slowly
A broken dawn covered in mourning
And I have lived a thousand pushes
Lost forever
The dream torn
I have also slept at dawn
Under an olive tree
And I thought I was safe
And I have seen the nights melting away
Like sad candles, along shortcuts
