Paroles et traduction Brams - De Les Neus al Palmeral

De Les Neus al Palmeral

Antics ports de pirates,
Vestigis de vells califats,
Mercats grecs, vil·les romanes,
Restes de regnes i vescomtats.

Fogueres celebrades,
Poetes que trasbalsen l'esperit,
Cançons improvisades,
Somnis secrets de poble oprimit.

Com un llenç per fer-ne un quadre,
Com un llibre encara en blanc,
Com el plànol de la casa
Que volem alçar.

I per construir-ho
Aquestes mans, l'enginy comú i un gran solar:
El veig quan me'l miro,
El que tenim entre les neus i el palmerar.

També gent discriminada,
Privilegis familiars,
Pobresa soterrada
I endolls d'aquells que surten tan cars.

La injustícia estimula
La creativitat
Per fer de la podridura
Una obra d'art.

I per construir-ho
Aquestes mans, l'enginy comú i un gran solar:
El veig quan me'l miro,
El que tenim entre les neus i el palmerar.

Aquestes mans,
L'enginy comú
Com un llenç per fer-ne un quadre,

L'enginy comú
Aquestes mans,
Com un llibre encara en blanc.

From the Snows to the Palm Groves

Old pirate ports,
Vestiges of old caliphates,
Greek markets, Roman villas,
Remnants of kingdoms and viscounts.

Celebrated bonfires,
Poets who upset the spirit,
Impromptu songs,
Secret dreams of an oppressed people.

Like a canvas for a painting,
Like a book still blank,
Like the blueprint of the house
That we want to raise.

And to build it
These hands, common ingenuity and a large plot:
I see it when I look at it,
What we have between the snows and the palm grove.

Also people discriminated against,
Family privileges,
Buried poverty
And plugs from those who come out so expensive.

Injustice stimulates
Creativity
To make out of the rot
A work of art.

And to build it
These hands, common ingenuity and a large plot:
I see it when I look at it,
What we have between the snows and the palm grove.

These hands,
Common ingenuity
Like a canvas for a painting,

Common ingenuity
These hands,
Like a book still blank.
