Paroles et traduction Lluís Llach - Maremar

Maremar

Maremar, feu-vos present
A l′altar del meu paisatge,
Maremar, que els antics déus
Avui són molt lluny de casa.
Un tro per la recança
Un port per la ferida
I per l'amor, la cala.
Maremar, doneu-nos vent
Hi ha demà i vela blanca,
Maremar, i si potser
Ni huracà, ni massa calma.
Que el temps és curt i passa
Com una estranya dansa
De pas sense petjada.
Mira com ve l′aire
Que et vol convidar al seu ball.
Gira i ves enlaire,
Núvol d'esperança blanc.
Pren-lo i embriaga't
Amb la seva flaire
Com nomès ho fa un amant.
Mira com ve l′aire
Que et vol convidar al seu ball.
Maremar, doneu-nos pau
Però amb el tremp de l′olivera.
Que no posa mai
El seu ramatge verd-blau
A la mà d'aquell
Que la voldria sotmesa.
Que omplim d′estels la barca,
Però que un pesat bagatge
No ens malmeni les xarxes.
Mira com ve l'aire
Que et vol convidar al seu ball.
Gira i ves enlaire,
Núvol d′esperança blanc.
Pren-lo i embriaga't
Amb la seva flaire
Com només ho fa un amant.
Mira com ve l′aire
Que et vol convidar al seu ball.
Maremar...

Sea

O Sea, show yourself
To the altar of my landscape,
O Sea, where the ancient gods
Are very far from home today.
A crash for the sadness
A port for the wound
And for love, the cove.
O Sea, give us wind
There is tomorrow and white sail,
O Sea, and perhaps
Neither hurricane nor too much calm.
As time is short and passes
Like a strange dance
Of passage without a footprint.
See how the air comes
To invite you to its ball.
Spin and go up in the air,
White cloud of hope.
Take it and get drunk
With its fragrance
As only a lover can do.
See how the air comes
To invite you to its ball.
O Sea, give us peace
But with the strength of the olive tree.
That never gives
Its blue-green foliage
Into the hand of the one
Who would like to subdue it.
May we fill the boat with stars,
But may a heavy baggage
Not damage our nets.
See how the air comes
To invite you to its ball.
Spin and go up in the air,
White cloud of hope.
Take it and get drunk
With its fragrance
As only a lover can do.
See how the air comes
To invite you to its ball.
O Sea...
