Lyrics and translation Sopa De Cabra - Passant de llarg

Passant de llarg

Corrent, passant de llarg,
Mal amagat desig,
Temuda realitat.
Sembles fort,
Però ets tou per dins com tots.
Vols ser dur
I ja dir el que sents no pots.
Absurdes obsessions,
Distreuen el teu cos,
Sols tu i la temptació
Ni remeis ni raons.
Dius que és tot mentida, no et crec.
Dius que així és la vida, no et crec.
Dius que tu ja ets lliure, no et crec.
No tot el que llueix és or.
Talla els fils que ara t′enreden.
Ben endins, saps que t'ofeguen.
Si ara vius, lluita i rebel·la′t.
Ets l'amic que ha d'anar sempre amb tu.
Lligat de mans i peus,
Segueixes vacil·lant.
Què pensaran de tu,
No és pas tan important.
Vius per allò
Que sembla però no és.
Tu sabràs
Si en tens prou o vols més.
Sembles fort,
Però ets tou per dins com tots.
Vols ser dur
I ja dir el que sents no pots.
La vida passa al teu costat,
De llarg.
Segueixes actuant,
Dius que no pots canviar.
Disfresses, màscares,
Per continuar aguantant.
Dius que és tot mentida, no et crec.
Dius que això és la vida, no et crec.
Dius que tu ja ets lliure, no et crec.
No tot el que llueix és bo.
Talla els fils que ara t′enreden.
Ben endins, saps que t′ofeguen.
Si ara vius, lluita i rebel·la't.
Ets l′amic que encara esperes.

Passing By

Rushing by, passing by,
Ill-concealed desire,
Dreaded reality.
You seem strong,
But you're soft inside like everyone else.
You want to be tough,
And you can't say what you feel.
Absurd obsessions,
Distract your body,
Just you and temptation,
No remedies or reasons.
You say it's all a lie, I don't believe you.
You say that's how life is, I don't believe you.
You say you're already free, I don't believe you.
Not everything that glitters is gold.
Cut the threads that now entangle you.
Deep down, you know they're suffocating you.
If you're living now, fight and rebel.
You're the friend who must always be with you.
Bound hand and foot,
You keep hesitating.
What will they think of you,
It's not that important.
You live for
What seems but is not.
You'll know
If you have enough or want more.
You seem strong,
But you're soft inside like everyone else.
You want to be tough,
And you can't say what you feel.
Life is passing you by,
Passing by.
You keep acting,
You say you can't change.
Disguises, masks,
To keep enduring.
You say it's all a lie, I don't believe you.
You say this is life, I don't believe you.
You say you're already free, I don't believe you.
Not everything that glitters is good.
Cut the threads that now entangle you.
Deep down, you know they're suffocating you.
If you're living now, fight and rebel.
You're the friend you're still waiting for.
