A la iaia - Ginestà traduction en anglais

A la iaia

Pau al vostre menjador
Bevent aigua d'herbes
I cantant cançons
La bossa de panses
El rellotge tic-toc
Un mirant el Barça
Quan no eren tan bons

Drama és tenir el net malalt
Que et truquin del cole
I anar-lo a buscar
I fer un suc de taronja
Que el Dalsy és pels fluixos
I veure els dibuixos
I veure't marxar
Em fa mal quan penso
En tota l'estima
Que no et vaig tornar

I era feliç
I a les tardes dormíem
I els dissabtes arròs
Amb totes les cosines

T'ajudava a cosir
I el didal em ballava
Melmelada i pernil
Poma al forn i abraçades

Passen la Guerra Civil
Històries i fils
Flamant carnissera
I què són tres fills?
Si tota ets amor
Viure a la lleugera

Calmes, batalles
Contes, rondalles
Tardes fent anar els aspersors
Per l'herba segada
I dins de la llar
De foc
De tots
Cantant les nadales

I era feliç
I a les tardes dormíem
I els dissabtes arròs
Amb totes les cosines

T'ajudava a cosir
I el didal em ballava
Melmelada i pernil
Poma al forn i abraçades

To Grandma

Peace in your dining room
Drinking herbal tea
And singing songs
The bag of raisins
The clock ticking
One watching Barça
When they weren't so good

Drama is having a sick grandchild
Getting a call from school
And going to pick him up
And making orange juice
Because Dalsy is for the weak
And watching the drawings
And watching you leave
It hurts when I think
Of all the love
That I didn't return

And I was happy
And in the afternoons we slept
And Saturdays rice
With all the cousins

I helped you sew
And the thimble danced on my finger
Jam and ham
Baked apple and hugs

Talking about the Civil War
Stories and threads
Brand new butcher
And what are three children?
If you're all love
Living lightly

Calms, battles
Stories, tales
Afternoons running the sprinklers
Over the cut grass
And inside the home
Of fire
Of everyone
Singing Christmas carols

And I was happy
And in the afternoons we slept
And Saturdays rice
With all the cousins

I helped you sew
And the thimble danced on my finger
Jam and ham
Baked apple and hugs
