Lyrics and translation Maria del Mar Bonet - Sonet

Sonet

Quan ella dorm el gaudi somnolent
Del vell jardí vibrant de flors i nit
Passant per la finestra sóc el vent
I tot és com un alenar florit

Quan ella dorm i sense fer-hi esment
Tomba a les grans fondàries de l'oblit
L'abella so que clava la roent
Agulla -fúria i foc- en el seu pit

La que era estampa, encís i galanor
I moviment ambigu, és plor i crit
I jo, causa del dol, de la dolçor

En faig lasses delícies de pecat
I Amor, que veu, ulls closos, el combat
S'adorm amb un somriure embadalit

Quan ella dorm el gaudi somnolent
Del vell jardí vibrant de flors i nit
Passant per la finestra sóc el vent
I tot és com un alenar florit
Passant per la finestra sóc el vent
I tot és com un alenar florit

Sonnet

When she sleeps the sleepy joy
Of the old garden vibrant with flowers and night
Passing through the window I am the wind
And everything is like a flowery breath

When she sleeps and without thinking of it
She falls into the great depths of oblivion
I am the bee who sticks the burning
Needle -fury and fire- in her breast

She who was a picture, charm and elegance
And ambiguous movement, is weeping and crying
And I, the cause of the pain, of the sweetness

Make sinful delights weary
And Love, who sees, eyes closed, the fight
Falls asleep with a besotted smile

When she sleeps the sleepy joy
Of the old garden vibrant with flowers and night
Passing through the window I am the wind
And everything is like a flowery breath
Passing through the window I am the wind
And everything is like a flowery breath
