Paroles et traduction Maria del Mar Bonet - Aigo

Aigo

Aigo, vos demanam, aigo
I vós, senyor, mos dau vent
I mos girau ses espatlles
I fais com qui no mos sent.

A s'hort sa terra és eixuta,
S'ha mort tot el que hem sembrat,
Es tarongers s'han 'secat,
Es blat és mort i no és nat.

Abans, senyor, éreu flors,
Ara, senyor, sols sou cards.
Abans, senyor, éreu amor,
Ara s'amor s'ha assecat.

Abans, senyor, éreu horts,
Ara, senyor, pols i vent.
Abans, senyor, éreu gent,
I ara, on és, on és sa gent?

Water

Water, we ask you for water
Lord, you give us wind
And turn your back on us
And pretend not to hear us.

The earth in the garden is dry,
All that we planted has died,
The orange trees have withered,
The wheat is dead and unborn.

Lord, you used to be flowers,
Now, Lord, you're just thistles.
Lord, you used to be love,
Now the love has dried up.

Lord, you used to be gardens,
Now you're dust and wind, Lord.
Lord, you used to be people,
But now, where are the people?
