Paroles et traduction Els Amics De Les Arts - L'Arquitecte

L'Arquitecte

Amb els anys aprèns
Que tenir un bon pla
És l'única manera de
Poder reduir el marge d'error

Tu t'hi estàs fins tard
Calculant-ho tot
I malgrat la son un esforç per escriure el què penses
Tan senzillament com pots

Però no hi ha prou cafè
Per desvetllar-te tanta estona
I els ulls es van rendint
Tu ni t'en adones

Dorm, arquitecte, dorm
Que el que estàs intentant és del tot impossible
I que no depèn de tu
Hi ha un projecte que no es pot preveure
La vida la fa cadascú

I una casa on hi capiguem tots
I un espai amb cuina-menjador
I deixar que la tarda entri el sol
I finestres de quatre per dos

I que tingui sentit de l'humor
I un saber-se triar bé els amics
I un caure que el faci més fort
I la força per saber dir no

I un jardí on s'hi pugui ballar
I un portal que convidi a pasar
I un veí, un caxondo mental
I una taula al carrer per Sant Joan

I que et digui que ho has fet prou bé
I que visqui el que tu no has pogut
Fer-lo llest, que no tingui mai por
I saber quan deixar-lo fer sol

The Architect

With the years you learn
That having a good plan
Is the only way to
Reduce the margin of error

You stay up late
Calculating everything
And despite the sleepiness an effort to write what you think
As simply as you can

But there's not enough coffee
To keep you awake that long
And your eyes surrender
You don't realize

Sleep, architect, sleep
Because what you are trying is completely impossible
And it does not depend on you
There is a project that cannot be foreseen
Everyone lives their own life

And a house where we all fit
And a space with an open-plan kitchen-dining room
And let the afternoon sun in
And four by two windows

And that has a sense of humor
And a knowing how to choose friends well
And a fall that makes him stronger
And the strength to know how to say no

And a garden where you can dance
And a portal that invites you to come in
And a crazy neighbor
And a table on the street for San Juan

And saying that you have done well enough
And live what you have not been able to
Getting him ready, never being afraid
And knowing when to let him do it alone
