Ciència-ficció (des de casa)

Saps que una empresa japonesa,
Té un prototip de màquina capaç
D'esborrar-te els records
Jo vaig veure-hi la manera
I vaig escriure per participar
A les proves pilot

M'ha vingut al cap mentre volava
Un diumenge al llit
Ens despertàvem
Mirant-nos els peus
Comparant-nos els dits

I se m'ha escapat mitja rialla
Ens he vist amb nens
I amb tantes ganes
Mai vam sospitar
Que acabaríem així

M'han posat en un hotel
Una suite descomunal
Es veu Tòquio des d'el cel
M'ha semblat un bon final

Avui he fet una visita prèvia
I he vist les instal·lacions
M'han presentat els responsables
Que són la creme de la creme
Tot súper maco, reien molt
"Arigató, arigató"

I el que m'ha fet de traductor
M'ha vist un pel acollonit
I ha dit "hi ha una part positiva"
Que, pelis discos llibres llocs
Que donarien molts per poder
Viure'ls com el primer dia

Però mirant els leds
I els electrodes
M'he vist panxa amunt
Un llit amb rodes
Mentre van passant
Les llums d'un passadís

I he entès que demà
Serà una altra vida
Que viuré feliç
Una mentida
Però per perdonar-te
Calia arribar aquí

Arribaré a l'aeroport
No portaré cap record
Tu no em deixis preguntar
Digues "hola, hem de marxar"
Porta-ho tot al cotxe a punt
Fes-me cas, tots dos ben lluny

Fugir, tornar a començar
En un poblet
Que tingui un nom que
No puguem ni pronunciar

Science Fiction (From Home)

Do you know that a Japanese company,
Has a prototype of a machine capable
Of erasing your memories
I saw my chance and
I wrote to participate
In the pilot tests

It came to me while I was flying
One Sunday in bed
We would wake up
Looking at each other's feet
Comparing our toes

And I let out a quick laugh
I saw us with children
And so much to look forward to
We never suspected
That we would end up like this

They put me in a hotel
A huge suite
You can see Tokyo from the sky
It seemed like a good end

Today I had a prior visit
And I saw the facilities
They introduced me to the people in charge
Who are the best of the best
Everything was super nice, they laughed a lot
"Thank you, thank you"

And the one who translated for me
Saw that I was a bit scared
And said "there's a positive side to this"
That, movies, records, books, places
That many would give anything to be able to
Experience them for the first time

But looking at the LEDs
And the electrodes
I saw myself lying on my back
On a bed with wheels
As the lights pass by
Of a hospital corridor

And I understood that tomorrow
Will be another life
That I will live happily
A lie
But to forgive you
I had to get here

I will arrive at the airport
I will not have any memories
You must not let me ask any questions
Just say "hello, we have to go now"
Take everything to the car and get it ready
Believe me, both of us are better off far away

Let's run, let's start over
In a small town
With a name that
We can't even pronounce
