Paroles et traduction Lluís Llach - Sempre queda un fil

Sempre queda un fil

Com si fos un fil,
Un fil llarg i prim
Que teixint -se d′enyor m'uneix sempre al teu cor.
És només un fil,
Potser fràgil,
Però sempre fàcil
Per tenir-te dintre meu
Tan a prop com tan absent.
No ha d′esborrar el temps
Ni un sol traç de tants sentiments per tu,
Ni podrà l'oblit
Trencar el fil que tibant-me em lliga a tu.
Jo t'espero... i t′espero...
Llenço a les estrelles
Un cant pel teu record més dolç
Ara que es més possible el món
Que somniaves encara adolescent,
I les ferides que t′han fet...
I les ferides que tu has fet...
Cuso amb aquest fil.
Sempre queda un fil,
Un fil llarg i prim
Que per tendre és tan tens
Que per minse es fa immens.
Només aquest fil,
Potser fàcil
Però sempre fràgil
Per sentir-te dintre meu,
Tan a prop i tan absent...
Queda sempre un fil...

There's Always a Thread

As if it were a thread,
A long, thin thread
Weaving itself with longing, always uniting me to your heart.
It's just a thread,
Perhaps fragile,
But always easy
To keep you inside me
So close yet so distant.
Time won't erase
A single stroke of so many feelings for you,
Nor will oblivion
Break the thread that, tightening, binds me to you.
I wait for you... and wait...
I cast into the stars
A song for your memory, the sweetest
Now that the world is more possible
That you still dreamed of, adolescent,
And the wounds they've inflicted on you...
And the wounds you've inflicted...
I mend them with this thread.
There's always a thread,
A long, thin thread
That, because it's tender, is so taut
That, because it's insignificant, it becomes immense.
Just this thread,
Perhaps easy
But always fragile
To feel you within me,
So close yet so distant...
There's always a thread...
