Lyrics and translation Lluís Llach - Bambolines




Bambolines
Marionettes
Tornaré a dir el nom que et defineix:
I will say again the name that defines you:
Ell només omple el meu espai
That name fills my entire space
Tornaré de nou a imaginar
I will once again imagine
La melodia que et pertany, i així
The melody that belongs to you, and so
Sentir el teu so que se′m fa amant
Feel your sound that becomes my lover
Anirem plegats si ets absent
We will go together if you are not here
Pels camins d'un petit país
Along the paths of a small country
Cantaré el teu nom clau del secret
I will sing your name, the key to the secret
Que em fa sentir-te a frec de pell
That makes me feel you close to my skin
I així portar-te amb mi si ets absent
And so take you with me if you are not here
I en Xarlot que del cel mira
And in Charlie, who looks down from the sky
Fa l′ullet i s'amoïna
He winks and worries
Per guarnir amb detalls el decorat:
To decorate the scene with details:
Posa al cel quatre gavines
He puts four seagulls in the sky
El Montgrí de bambolina
The Montgrí of a doll
I se'n va deixant-nos el seu cant
And he goes away leaving us his song
Tornaré a dir el nom que et fa present
I will say again the name that makes you present
Entre els alts rengles de xiprers
Among the tall rows of cypress trees
Que plantaren savis els meus vells
That my elders planted wisely
Per resguardar els fruits més ardents
To protect the most ardent fruits
I així arrecerar-me en el teu bes
And so take shelter in your kiss
Tornaré a dir el nom que et defineix
I will say again the name that defines you
I del teu so seré amant
And I will be a lover of your sound
