Paroles et traduction Lluís Llach - Penyora

Penyora

Tot era a punt per poder oblidar-se
Quan de puntetes passés el temps
Mentre vestíem prudents
Els adéus d′un matí...
Cap déu no feia preveure res, res,
Que anés enllà d'un moment bonic,
Però el mag que inventa el destí
Va creuar els camins.
I ara anem de costat
Fins al mai, fins al mai,
Obrint ales als déus
Com el vent, com el vent que m′empeny...
No t'esperava ni era el temps
Pels sentiments que enxarxen els cors,
Jo anava cap a un ponent
On els déus m'hi fan lloc.
Avui ets mar on el meu llagut
Omple la vela només amb tu,
Alè que no eres en mi, ni previst,
Ni volgut...
Anem junts, poc a poc
Més que mai, més que mai
I ens sabem pel demà
Sempre a prop, sempre a prop.
Anem... encara tinc en algun cel
Velles joguines d′altres temps,
Ombres de lluna i foc d′estels,
Anem, junts ...
Anem... si el cos em dóna encara un gest
Serà per tu i teu només,
Per tornar a aprendre l'art d′un bes,
Anem... junts... anem.

All was ready to be able to forget
When on my toes, I spent time
While we cautiously dressed
The farewells of a morning...
No god predicted anything, nothing,
Which went beyond a beautiful moment,
But the magician who invents destiny
Crossed our paths.
And now we go side by side
Until the never, until the never,
Opening wings to the gods
Like the wind, like the wind that pushes me...
I was not expecting you, nor was it the time
For the feelings that entwine hearts,
I was heading towards a sunset
Where the gods make a place for me.
Today you are a sea where my boat
Fills its sail only with you,
Breath that you were not in me, or expected,
Or wanted...
We go together, little by little
More than ever, more than ever
And we know each other for tomorrow
Always close, always close.
We go... I still have in some heaven
Old toys from other times,
Shadows of moon and fire of stars,
Let's go together...
We go... if my body still gives me a gesture
It will be for you and only for you,
To relearn the art of a kiss,
We go... together... we go.
