L'operació ós

Quan em vaig cansar de demanar
Subvencions a la Generalitat
Per passar-me tota la vida
Sense pencar.
Vaig idear un fabulós pla
Per exercir de mandrós,
Per no fotre brot
I a final de mes cobrar.
Li he cardat una hòstia al gerent
M'ha acomiadat immediatament,
I ha anat a dir a l'INEM
Que m'ingressin el subsidi al compte corrent.
I mentre es va acumulant
El subsidi al llarg de l'any
Al juny tindré un munt de calés
Per passar l'estiu la mar de bé.

I tot el dia seure
I tot el dia jeure
I tot el dia beure
I fer l'animal
I no tenir cap deure
I no tenir cap neura
I disfrutar del lleure
D'un estiu fenomenal.

He estat a la Rambla
A les parades d'ocells
I he comprat un pot
Amb una mosca tse‑tse.
Me l'he endut a casa
L'he insultat, l'he provocat
Fins de tant emprenyar‑la
Al final m'ha picat.
I ara tot el treball
Que em queda per fer
Serà una mandra i un badall
El dia que em llevaré.
No val la pena viure
Mentre la gent està treballant
No val la pena viure
Mentre el vi està fermentant.

Iniciaré l'Operació Ós
Que em permeti viure com un gos
Des de juny fins a finals d'agost
I tornar a dormir quan trepitgin el most.

L'operacio ós

When my appeals to the Generalitat
For subsidies fell on deaf ears
And I realized that I could spend my whole life
Without lifting a finger,
I came up with a magnificent plan
To be a lazybones,
To laze around
And collect checks at the end of the month.
I gave the manager a slap
He fired me immediately,
And told the INEM
To deposit my unemployment benefits in the bank.
And while I am accumulating
The subsidy throughout the year
In June, I will have a lot of money
To get through the summer with ease.

And all day long, I will sit
And all day long, I will lie
And all day long, I will drink
And play the fool
And have no obligations
And have no worries
And enjoy the leisure
Of a phenomenal summer.

I have been to the Rambla,
To the bird stalls
And I have bought a jar
With a tsetse fly.
I took it home
I insulted it, I taunted it
Until I finally provoked it
And it stung me.
And now all the rest of the work
I have left to do
Will be a bore and a yawn
On the day I get up.
It is not worth living
While people are working,
It is not worth living
While the wine is fermenting.

I will initiate Operation Bear
Which will allow me to live like a dog
From June until the end of August
And to sleep again when the must is pressed.
