Paroles et traduction Manu Guix - Pais Petit

Pais Petit

El meu país és tan petit
Que quan el sol se′n va a dormir
Mai no està prou segur
D'haver-lo vist.

Diuen les velles sàvies
Que és per això que torna.
Potser sí que exageren,

El meu país és tant petit
Que des de dalt d′un campanar
Sempre es pot veure el campanar veí.

Diuen que els poblets tenen por,
Tenen por de sentir-se sols,
Tenen por de ser massa grans,
Tant se val! és així com m'agrada a mi
I no en sabria dir res més.

Canto i sempre em sabré
Malalt d'amor pel meu país.
El meu país és tant petit
Que sempre cap dintre del cor
Si és que la vida et porta lluny d′aquí
I ens fem contrabandistes,
Mentre no descrobreixin
Detectors pels secrets del cor.

I és així, és així, com m′agrada a mi
I no en sabria dir res més.
Canto i sempre em sabré
Malalt d'amor pel meu país.

El meu país és tant petit
Que quan el sol se′n va a dormir
Mai no està prou segur
D'haver-lo vist.

My Small Country

My country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It is never sure
To have seen it.

The wise old ladies say
That is why it comes back.
Perhaps they exaggerate,

My country is so small
That from the top of a bell tower
You can always see the neighboring bell tower.

They say the villages are afraid,
They are afraid of feeling lonely,
They are afraid of being too big,
It does not matter! that is how I like it
And I could not say anything else.

I sing and I will always know
I am sick of love for my country.
My country is so small
That it always fits in the heart
If life takes you far away from here
And we become smugglers,
As long as they do not discover
Detectors for the secrets of the heart.

And that is how, that is how, I like it
And I could not say anything else.
I sing and I will always know
I am sick of love for my country.

My country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It is never sure
To have seen it.
