Paroles et traduction Manel - Ai, Yoko

Ai, Yoko

No haurà estat senzill venir fins aquí
–és espantós com la gent parla–
Tot i que, de lluny, sempre m'has semblat
Prou forta per no amargar-te.
Jo et reconec que em van convèncer amb facilitat.
No ho vaig pensar, però ara confio que em comprendràs.
I és que des de mon pare al que deien de tu a la televisió,
Entre la teva veu tan prima i el teu tambor;
Des de la teva cara estranya, com d'aparició,
Fins als barrets tan arriscats i Def Con Dos...
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu
Com molts no haurem estimat mai.
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu.
Per molt que ho intenti hi ha coses que no puc canviar.
Per molt que m'hi esforci he anat predicant tantes barbaritats.
I és que si, en general, tots els canvis ja em posen tan nerviós,
Entre cançons plenes de xiscles i el teu maleït tambor
I entre la teva cara rara que de nen em feia por
Era tan fàcil que et donéssim la culpa de tot...
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu
Com molts no haurem estimat mai.
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu.
I t'ho explico, així, covard, aprofitant que ell no ens sent
Que davant d'aquell gran home, ho reconec ara mateix,
Ja veuríem qui seria el guapo que et cantés,
Ja veuríem qui seria el guapo que et cantés!

Ai, Yoko

Coming here must have been hard
–it's scary how people talk–
Even though, from afar, you always seemed
Strong enough not to let it get to you.
I'll admit that they convinced me quite easily.
I didn't think about it, but now I trust that you'll understand,
Between what my father said and what they said about you on TV,
Between your thin voice and your drum;
Between your strange face, like an apparition,
And those risky hats and Def Con Dos...
But today I’ve realized that you loved each other
More than many of us will ever love.
But today I’ve realized that you loved each other.
No matter how hard I try, there are things I can't change.
No matter how hard I try, I've preached so many barbarities.
Is that if, in general, all the changes make me nervous,
Between songs full of screams and your cursed drum
And between your weird face that scared me as a child
It was so easy for us to blame you for everything...
But today I’ve realized that you loved each other
More than many of us will ever love.
But today I’ve realized that you loved each other.
And I'll say it like this, so cowardly, taking advantage of the fact that he can't hear us
Because in front of that great man, I confess it now,
We'd see who would be brave enough to sing to you,
We'd see who would be brave enough to sing to you!
