Lyrics and translation Jordi Barre - Parlem Català

Parlem Català

Nosaltres aqui parlem català
Parlem català és la nostra llengua
Parlem català és la nostra vida
Es el nostre esser, és el nostre pa
Parlem català, per te dir t′estimi
Parlem català per collir la flor
Per esgrunar els anys
D'aquest temps que passa
Parlem català per riure i cantar
Per dir la tristor, tenim català
Per calmar les penes, tenim català
Tenim català per cantar l′amor
I per fer les festes, saltar i ballar
Alguns no voldrien aquest català
Arreu si podien el farien callar
Pero per tant que fassin
Juntarem les mans
I tots cantarem el sempre endavant
A sota el cel blau del nostre pais
Cantarem la pau, l'amor i l'encis
L′amor de la terra,
L′amor dels germans
I per tant que fassin, serem catalans

Let's Speak Catalan

We speak Catalan here
Catalan is our language
Catalan is our life
It's our essence, it's our bread
We speak Catalan to tell my love for you
We speak Catalan to pick the flower
To unravel the years
Of this passing time
We speak Catalan to laugh and sing
To express our sadness, we have Catalan
To ease our sorrows, we have Catalan
We have Catalan to sing of love
And to celebrate, jump, and dance
Some would not want this Catalan
They would silence it if they could
But no matter what they do
We will join hands
And we will all sing the onward forever
Under the blue sky of our country
We will sing of peace, love, and enchantment
The love of the land,
The love of our brothers
And no matter what they do, we will be Catalan
