Paroles et traduction Joan Manuel Serrat - Plany al Mar

Plany al Mar

Bressol de vida
Camins de somnis
Pont de cultures
Ai, qui ho diria
Que ha estat el mar
Mireu-lo fet una claveguera
Mireu-lo anar i venir sense parar
Sembla mentida
Que del seu ventre
Es fes la vida
Ai, qui ho diria
Sense rubor
Mireu-lo fet una claveguera
Ferit de mort
De la manera
Que el desvalisen
I l'enverinen
Ai, qui ho diria
Que ens dóna el pa
Mireu-lo fet una claveguera
Mireu-lo anar i venir sense parar
¿On són els savis
I els poderosos
Que s'anomenen
Ai, qui ho diria!
Conservadors
Mireu-lo fet una claveguera
Ferit de mort
Quanta abundància
Quanta bellesa
Quanta energia
Ai, qui ho diria!
Feta malbé!
Per ignorància, per imprudència
Per inconsciència i per mala llet
Jo que volia
Que m'enterressin
Entre la platja
Ai, qui ho diria
I el firmament
I serem nosaltres, ai, qui ho diria
Els qui t'enterrem

Plans by the Sea

Cradle of life
Paths of dreams
Bridge of cultures
Oh, who would have thought
That the sea has been
Look at it turned into a sewer
Look at it coming and going without stopping
It seems like a lie
That from its womb
Life was made
Oh, who would have thought
Without shame
Look at it turned into a sewer
Mortally wounded
By the way
That they steal from it
And poison it
Oh, who would have thought
That it gives us bread
Look at it turned into a sewer
Look at it coming and going without stopping
Where are the wise
And the powerful
Who call themselves
Oh, who would have thought!
Conservatives
Look at it turned into a sewer
Mortally wounded
How much abundance
How much beauty
How much energy
Oh, who would have thought!
Ruined!
By ignorance, by recklessness
By unconsciousness and by spite
As for me, I wanted
To be buried
Between the beach
Oh, who would have thought
And the firmament
And we will be the ones, oh, who would have thought
Who bury you
