Paroles et traduction Joan Dausà - M'Hauria Agradat - Live

M'Hauria Agradat - Live

M'hauria agradat, viure en una masia
Perduda entre alzines i pins vora el mar
Allà a l'Empordà, amb una barca petita per sortir a pescar
M'hauria agradat

M'hauria agradat que per aquella finestra
Mai hagués pogut veure aquell cotxe daurat
Frenar massa tard, o no trobar-me la mare, la nit de Nadal
Plorant d'amagat

Però ningú em va avisar que es podia escriure una carta
Com qui demana el menú per dinar
Però ningú em va avisar i el cambrer no em fa cas
I tot sol, en silenci
M'acabo el meu plat

M'hauria agradat que aquella promesa, d'amor i tendresa
No s'hagués transformat, després de tants anys
En aquella carta distant, de comiat
M'hauria agradat

I m'hauria agradat poder ser a casa els vespres
Tornant de la feina i dormir
Quan el sol també ho fa
M'hauria agradat
M'hauria agradat

Però suposo que això va com va
I, com sempre, potser vaig fer tard
I he de viure la vida
Com qui encara somia
Que potser s'acompleixi allò
Que m'hauria agradat
Però potser vaig fer tard

M'Hauria Agradat - Live

I would have liked to live in a farmhouse
Lost amongst oak and pine trees by the sea
There in the Empordà, with a small boat to go fishing
I would have liked

I would have liked that through that window
I would have never been able to see that golden car
Breaking too late, or not finding my mother on Christmas Eve
Crying secretly

But no one warned me that a letter could be written
Like someone who asks for a menu for lunch
But no one warned me and the waiter ignores me
And all alone, in silence
I finish my plate

I would have liked that promise of love and tenderness
Had not been transformed, after so many years
Into that distant letter, of farewell
I would have liked

And I would have liked to be able to be home in the evenings
Returning from work and sleeping
When the sun also does
I would have liked
I would have liked

But I guess that's how it goes
And, as always, maybe I was late
And I have to live life
Like someone who still dreams
That maybe what I would have liked
Will be fulfilled
But maybe I was late
