Desapareixíem Lentament

Vaig entrar a la festa,
L'amfitrió em va presentar els convidats.
Vaig cridar "he vingut a començar de zero",
Vaig acomodar-me en un sofà.
Des de la finestra es veia el parc on
S'avorrien uns adolescents.
Vaig pensar ¿on dorm?,
¿Què veurà quan es llevi?
Mentre desapareixíem lentament.
Vaig comprar-me un saldo de trompeta,
Assajàvem cada nit.
Estava bé tocar, però preferia
Barallar-me amb els veïns.
Ahhh, mireu, un E Major volant,
Escapant-se per damunt del celobert.
Vaig escriure-li alguna cançó, ¿i què?
Mentre desapareixíem lentament.
Vaig pujar a un arbre
Amb l'ambició de veure el Llobregat.
Les branques eren guerxes i del pes
Se'n van tombí, tombar.
Les noies joves de la vila
Se'm van quedar mirant de lluny, rient.
Ahhh, la vida podia ser difícil
Mentre desapareixíem lentament.
Vaig trobar una dona,
Vam llogar un apartament prop de Gavà.
Què vam ser ella i jo tot aquell temps
Em temo que no us ho sabré explicar.
Mai vaig dir-li en què pensava
L'hemisferi més cabró del meu cervell.
Una brisa fresca a la platja deserta,
Mentre desapareixíem lentament.
L'ajudant del mag va treure el vel
I allà seguíem, morts de fred.
El públic amb raó emprenyat
Reclamava que li tornessin els diners.
El productor abraçava la cartera
I deia "paciència, senyors meus;
Les paraules màgiques funcionen
Però aquest parell desapareixen lentament".
El del teatre demanava calma dient
"Tranquils, res és tan pur ni net;
Les paraules màgiques funcionen,
Però aquest parell desapareixen lentament".

We Were Disappearing Slowly

I entered the party,
The host introduced me to the guests.
I exclaimed "I've come to start from scratch",
I settled myself on a sofa.
From the window you could see the park where
Some teenagers were bored.
I wondered where I would sleep,
What would I see when I get up?
As we were disappearing slowly.
I bought myself a trumpet credit,
We rehearsed every night.
It was okay to play, but I preferred
To fight with the neighbors.
Ahhh, look, an E Major flying,
Escaping over the skylight.
I wrote him some songs, so what?
As we were disappearing slowly.
I climbed a tree
With the ambition to see the Llobregat River.
The branches were crooked and from the weight,
They bent and fell.
The young girls of the village
Stared at me from a distance, laughing.
Ahhh, life could be difficult
As we were disappearing slowly.
I found a woman,
We rented an apartment near Gavà.
What were she and I all that time?
I'm afraid I can't explain it to you.
I never told her what I was thinking
The most stubborn hemisphere of my brain.
A fresh breeze at the deserted beach,
As we were disappearing slowly.
The magician's assistant removed the veil,
And there we were, freezing to death.
The audience, quite rightly annoyed,
Demanded their money back.
The producer hugged his wallet
And said "patience, gentlemen;
The magic words work,
But this pair is disappearing slowly".
The man from the theater asked for calm, saying,
"Be calm, nothing is so pure or clean;
The magic words work,
But this pair is disappearing slowly".
