Paroles et traduction Doctor Prats - Rockamboleska

Rockamboleska

I és que n'han passat tants anys
Que ni el més vell recorda
Els carrers engalanats
I a la Plaça Vella sona
Aquell ritme tan nostrat que ballava tot el poble
I en Francisco treia el vi
La Carmeta pastes dolces
I la Remei de cal Carter
S'espolsava les vergonyes
Per mirar al masover
Que cantava a totes hores
Rockamboleska, batucada de llum i color
Rockamboleska, per encendre tota passió
Rockamboleska, ja sona la nostra cançó
Rockamboleska, la traca de festa major
Més amunt del campanar
Van deixar les partitures
Que els de dalt van amagar
Per callar la xerinola
Però ben dins dels nostres cors
És ben bé que encara sona
Aquesta nit invocarem
Ball del que tant presumíem
Despertem als avorrits
I avisem a les padrines
Perquè avui ens tornaran
De bon grat les alegries
Rockamboleska, batucada de llum i color
Rockamboleska, per encendre tota passió
Rockamboleska, ja sona la nostra cançó
Rockamboleska, la traca de festa major
Les llargues nits
Que entre tots fèiem tan curtes
Són tants records
Amagats dins un trist plor
Que se n'ha fet del salero
Que dúiem ben dintre
Que soni als carrers i a les places
Des d'ara i fins que surti el sol
Rockamboleska, batucada de llum i color
Rockamboleska, per encendre tota passió
Rockamboleska, ja sona la nostra cançó
Rockamboleska, la traca de festa major

Rockamboleska

And it's been so many years
That not even the oldest remembers
The streets decked out
And in the Plaça Vella rings
That rhythm so familiar that the whole town danced to
And Francisco brought out the wine
Carmeta, sweet pastries
And Remei from cal Carter
Dusted off her shame
To look at the overseer
Who sang at all hours
Rockamboleska, batucada of light and color
Rockamboleska, to ignite every passion
Rockamboleska, our song is now playing
Rockamboleska, the firecracker of the town festival
Higher than the bell tower
They left the scores
That those above hid
To silence the nonsense
But deep within our hearts
It still plays quite clearly
Tonight we will invoke
The dance we used to boast about
We will awaken the bored
And notify the old ladies
Because today they will return to us
With great pleasure
Rockamboleska, batucada of light and color
Rockamboleska, to ignite every passion
Rockamboleska, our song is now playing
Rockamboleska, the firecracker of the town festival
The long nights
That between us all we made so short
There are so many memories
Hidden in a sad cry
What has become of the charm
That we carried deep within
May it sound in the streets and squares
From now until the sun rises
Rockamboleska, batucada of light and color
Rockamboleska, to ignite every passion
Rockamboleska, our song is now playing
Rockamboleska, the firecracker of the town festival
