Paroles et traduction Manel - Deixar-Te un Dia

Deixar-Te un Dia

Ja declinava el vespre
Que tu deus haver oblidat,
Caminàvem rumb a casa,
El sol s'amagava entre terrats.
La teva veu sonava lluny
Com el xiulet de trens perduts,
Com la remor d'un riu nascut en cims nevats,
Muntanya amunt.
I aquella idea il•legal
M'anava inundant el cap;
M'hauràs de disculpar, amor meu,
Que vaig pensar deixar-te un dia,
Abandonar-te a la teva sort.
Només esperava, en silenci,
Que es presentés el moment
De fer-ho volar tot pels aires
Fent veure que era un accident.
Diria unes paraules greus
Mirant a l'infinit,
Les sentia dins la boca tenses,
Preparades per sortir.
Venien frases solemnes
Que ens matarien com a un poltre coix,
Venia arrossegar el cos mort
Del nostre amor fins a un racó discret
Per amagar-lo entre les flors.
Oh savis que aneu predicant pels carrers
Que l'amor es transforma amb els anys.
Veniu urgentment a explicar-nos
Si es transforma tant,
Si es transforma tant,
Si es transforma tant,
Si es transforma tant!
Ja s'intuïa a l'horitzó
La costa verge d'un nou món,
Ja em desplaçava més lleuger,
Alliberat del pes del teu amor.
Ja se sentia algú rient,
L'escalfor d'una altra gent,
Un altre cos, una altra veu capaç
De fer-me més content.
Ja m'allunyava caminant
Mirant els ulls als vianants.
Sabeu el meu futur?
Avui li he disparat amb munició de plata
Apuntant directe al cor.
En aturar-nos per creuar
Vas agafar-me la mà.
Vaig tornar una bola rasa a un nen
Que jugava en un portal.
No ho expliquis a ta mare,
Que m'escopirà el proper Nadal.

Leaving You Some Day

The evening was fading
That you decided to forget.
We were walking home,
The sun was setting across the roofs.
Your voice sounded far away
Like the whistle of lost trains,
Like the roar of a river born in snowy peaks,
Up the mountain.
And that illegal thought
Was flooding my head;
I hope you can forgive me, my love,
For I thought of leaving you one day,
Abandoning you to your fate.
I quietly waited,
Until the moment came
To blow everything up in the air
Pretending it was an accident.
I would say some harsh words
Looking into the distance,
I could feel them forming in my mouth,
Ready to be uttered.
Solemn phrases came to mind
That would kill us like a lame horse,
I would come to drag the corpse
Of our love to a discrete corner
To hide it among the flowers.
Oh wise ones, who preach in the streets
That love transforms itself over the years,
Come quickly and explain to us
If it changes that much,
If it changes that much,
If it changes that much,
If it changes that much!
The virgin coast of a new world
Was already visible on the horizon,
I was already walking lighter,
Freed from the weight of your love.
I could already hear someone laughing,
The warmth of other people,
Another body, another voice that could
Make me happier.
I was already walking away
Looking into the eyes of passers-by.
Do you know my future?
Today I shot it with silver bullets
Aiming straight at the heart.
As we stopped to cross the street
You took my hand.
I threw a ball back to a child
Who was playing in a doorway.
Don't tell your mother,
She'll spit at me next Christmas.
