Paroles et traduction Manel - Cançó del dubte

Cançó del dubte

Una veu li preguntava
"Què seràs quan siguis gran?",
La meva amiga callava
I somreia cap avall.
Qui tornés a aquella tarda a prendre foc
I aturar-la just a punt
De dubtar per primer cop!

Quan el pare preguntava
"Quina feina trobaràs?",
La meva amiga, rabiosa,
Intentava no plorar
I el cervell jove repassava les opcions
I tenia els ulls cansats
De mirar en tots els racons
Però, en mirar-lo, el camí no diu si vas
A la glòria o al fracàs.

I sortíem a les nits,
"Va, demà ho farem millor",
Mentre el dubte ens observava.
I sentíem créixer dins
Gairebé una decisió
Però era el dubte que jugava
Amb tot allò que era bo,
Amb tot allò que era bo.

Si un bon noi li preguntava
Què collons volia que fes,
La meva amiga dubtava
I s'arrambava contra ell
I s'adormia prometent-se que demà
Sabria estar contenta al seu costat.
Desgraciats si sabeu el gust que fan
Els petons que fem dubtant!

T'has quedat mirant un prat
Esperant que neixin flors
Mentre el dubte les matava.
T'has quedat tota la nit
Observant com dorm un cos
Mentre el dubte reclamava
Tot allò que era bo.
Tot allò que era bo.

Ha passat a mig matí,
M'ha tocat amb unes mans
Plenes d'ungles despintades.
No tenia gaire temps,
Però passava pel veïnat
I em volia dir que ara
Ho té molt clar.
Sí!
Ho té molt clar.
La meva amiga diu que ho té molt clar!
Ahà. Ho té molt clar.
Oh sí!
Ho té molt clar.
La meva amiga diu que ho té molt clar!

Song of Doubt

A voice would ask her
"What will you be when you grow up?"
My friend would be silent
And smile down at her feet.
Who would return to that afternoon to catch fire
And stop her just in time
From doubting for the first time!

When her father would ask
"What work will you find?"
My friend, furious,
Would try not to cry
And her young brain would go over the options
And her eyes were tired
From looking in all the corners
But on looking, the path does not say if you go
To glory or to failure.

And we would go out at night,
"Come on, tomorrow we will do better,"
While doubt watched us.
And we felt growing within
Almost a decision
But it was doubt that played
With everything that was good,
With everything that was good.

If a good boy would ask her
What the hell he wanted her to do,
My friend would doubt
And snuggled up against him
And fell asleep promising herself that tomorrow
She would know how to be happy by his side.
Unfortunate if you know how they taste
The kisses we give while doubting!

You have stayed looking at a meadow
Waiting for the flowers to bloom
While doubt killed them.
You have stayed all night long
Watching a body sleep
While doubt claimed
Everything that was good.
Everything that was good.

It happened mid-morning,
She touched me with hands
Full of unpainted nails.
She didn't have much time,
But she was passing through the neighborhood
And she wanted to tell me that now
She has it very clear.
Yeah!
She has it very clear.
My friend says she has it very clear!
Aha. She has it very clear.
Oh yeah!
She has it very clear.
My friend says she has it very clear!
