Paroles et traduction Marala - A la vora del riu mare

A la vora del riu mare

A la vora del riu, mare,
M'he deixat les espardenyes.
Mare, no li ho diga al pare
Que jo tornaré a per elles.

A la vora del riu, mare,
Em digueren que em volien.
En aquells temps de secà
Paraules d'amor florien.

El riu porta les tragèdies
Que la guerra ens va deixar.
Som hereus de terra santa,
De llimera i de safrà.

Sembrarem els camps de vida,
Collirem dels camps la mort.
Aigua de sang i vi negre,
La llavor del nostre cos.

Mare, duc en els meus braços
El fill que em van engendrar.
A la vora del riu, mare,
D'aquells dies sense pa.

Mare, duc en els meus braços
El fill que em van engendrar.
A la vora del riu, mare,
Ara a mi em toca llaurar.

A la vora del riu, mare,
Em digueren que em volien.
En aquells temps de secà
Paraules d'amor florien.

By the river, mother

By the river, mother,
I left my sandals.
Mother, don't tell father
I'll be back for them.

By the river, mother,
They told me they wanted me.
In those times of drought
Words of love bloomed.

The river carries the tragedies
That the war left us.
We are heirs of holy land,
Of lemon and saffron.

We will sow the fields of life,
We will harvest death from the fields.
Water of blood and black wine,
The seed of our bodies.

Mother, I carry in my arms
The son they gave me.
By the river, mother,
From those days without bread.

Mother, I carry in my arms
The son they gave me.
By the river, mother,
Now it's my turn to plow.

By the river, mother,
They told me they wanted me.
In those times of drought
Words of love bloomed.
