Paroles et traduction Manel - Ja Era Fort

Ja Era Fort

Llavors ja era fort i no perdia mai la calma
I em divertia tot i havia après a saludar-te
Content i exhibint la més radiant de les rialles,
Tocant-te com els forts,
Els éssers als que és impossible ferir.
No ploris, nen, que no sabré què dir.
No ploris, nen, que ets més bonic quan rius.
Llavors ja era fort i dominava les paraules
I construïa mons perfectes on no m'importava
Ni amb qui has dormit avui,
Ni què faràs demà a la tarda,
Ni penso algunes nits
Que ets massa semblant a qui busco per a mi.
Qui gosarà sentir que el protegeix
La conca d'unes mans mortes de fred?
I el dia va arribar, aquell que amb força ja esperava
—Els que han vingut avui,
Demà també podran anar-se'n.
No em va caler ni un plor,
Ni encendre ciris a cap àngel.
Llavors ja era fort,
I un fort no t'havia de perseguir.
O és que vostè no està d'acord amb mi?
Qui vol un conte trist per 'nar a dormir?

Already strong

Then I was already strong and I never lost my cool
And I had fun even though I had learned to greet you
Happy and showing the most radiant of smiles,
Touching you like the strong,
Beings who are impossible to hurt.
Don't cry, my boy, because I won't know what to say.
Don't cry, my boy, because you're more beautiful when you laugh.
Then I was already strong and I mastered words
And I built perfect worlds where I didn't care
Nor who you slept with today,
Nor what you will do tomorrow afternoon,
Nor do I think some nights
That you are too similar to who I'm looking for for myself.
Who would dare to feel that he is protected
By the basin of hands frozen with cold?
And the day arrived, the one I had been waiting for with force
—Those who came today,
Tomorrow they will also be able to leave.
I didn't need a cry,
Nor light candles to any angel.
Then I was already strong,
And a strong man should not chase you.
Or do you disagree with me?
Who wants a sad story to 'go to sleep?
