Paroles et traduction Manel - Flor groga

Flor groga

Ja sabem com t'agrada aixecar el braç
I calcular el pol d'on ve el vent
Ja hem gaudit de l'estil que exhibeixes
Quan marxes corrents

Ja hem entès que ets una ànima errant
Que abandona les cases quan tothom dorm
Que t'agrada menjar quan hi ha gana i dormir si ve son

Però pensa't-ho bé que després
Tard o d'hora, sempre arriba el moment
Quan s'obre com una flor rara el penediment
I entens, com si totes les bruixes del món
Coincidissin llegint-te el futur
Que és cosa de temps que et sorprenguis pensant que ho tenies
Que jo creia en tu

Ja sabem que tres mil aventures bateguen rabioses lluny d'aquest racó
Que els guerrers s'avorreixen si no hi ha una mica d'acció
Ja hem previst que només moriràs si algú et clava una daga daurada en el cor
I que on t'enterri una bona gent hi creixerà un roure fort
I és quasi entranyable que oblidis tan ràpid que sempre arriba el moment
Quan s'obre com una flor groga el penediment
Si ho saps com si totes les bruixes del món t'estiguessin llençant un conjur
Una rima ancestral que et farà recordar que ho tenies
Que jo creia en tu

Si em llevés i fos rei, reuniria les Corts per incloure en el codi penal
Que es prohibeixi a la gent 'nar pel món buscant res que no pugui anomenar
Que la por estaria allà però, potser, per variar, aprendríem a passar-la junts
I no et veuria mai més explicant-me que bé estaves quan ho tenies
Quan jo creia en tu

Yellow Flower

You like to raise your arm
And guess which way the wind will blow
We've enjoyed your flamboyant style
When you run

We've learned you're a wandering soul
Who leaves homes when everyone's asleep
Who likes to eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy

But think about it, because sooner or later
The time will come for you
When repentance opens like a rare flower
And you understand, as if all the witches in the world
Were reading your future together
It's only a matter of time until you're surprised to find you had it
That I believed in you

We know that a thousand adventures are raging far from this corner
That warriors get bored if there's not a little action
We've anticipated that you'll only die if someone stabs you in the heart with a golden dagger
And that a strong oak will grow where good people bury you
And it's almost endearing how quickly you forget that the time always comes
When repentance opens like a yellow flower
If you know as if all the witches in the world were casting a spell on you
An ancient rhyme that will remind you that you had it
That I believed in you

If I were to get up and be king, I would gather the Courts to include in the penal code
That people are forbidden from 'going around the world looking for something they can't name'
That fear would still be there but, perhaps, for a change, we would learn to live with it
And I would never see you again explaining to me how well you were when you had it
When I believed in you
