Paroles et traduction Maria del Mar Bonet - Coloma Blanca

Coloma Blanca

Si jo cerc un colom negre
Si jo vull un colom blanc
Aquell de taquetes grises
O l'altre, tornassolat, o l'altre, tornassolat

Griset o tornassolat
Ben negre, blanc o tacat
Color o casta; és igual
Si sap volar i estimar, si sap volar i estimar

Besades que donin ales
Per sebre volar més alt
Besades que donin ales
Per sebre creuar l'espai, per sebre creuar l'espai, per sebre creuar l'espai

Vull ser la coloma blanca
Blanca com el teu somrís
Entrar i sortir de la torre
Sense demanar permís, sense demanar permís

Si jo sabés que em volies
Et deixaria un senyal
En el camí una plometa
Ben obert el finestral, ben obert el finestral

I la lluna, fent de guia
Ja trobaràs el casal
Cantaré cançons de pluja
Perquè facin olor els camps, perquè facin olor els camps, perquè facin olor els camps

Un coixí de molsa humida
Ens servirà de capçal
Geranis blancs, clavellines
Saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar
Saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar
Saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar
Saludaran en passar, saludaran en passar

White Dove

If I seek a black dove
If I desire a white dove
The grey speckled one
Or the other, iridescent, or the other, iridescent

Grey or iridescent
Either black, white, or dappled
Color or caste; it's all the same
If it can fly and love, if it can fly and love

Kisses that give wings
To know how to fly higher
Kisses that give wings
To know how to cross the void, to know how to cross the void, to know how to cross the void

I want to be the white dove
White as your smile
Enter and leave the tower
Without asking permission, without asking permission

If I knew that you wanted me
I would leave you a sign
A small weight on the path
The mullioned window wide open, the mullioned window wide open

And the moon, as a guide
You will find the house
I will sing songs of rain
So that the fields will smell, so that the fields will smell, so that the fields will smell

A pillow of damp moss
Will serve as our headrest
White geraniums, carnations
Will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass
Will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass
Will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass
Will greet you as you pass, will greet you as you pass
