Paroles et traduction Maria del Mar Bonet - Eklemedir

Eklemedir

Quan no tenia més esperances,
Quan el meu cau només era l'oblit,
Només bevia aquest vi aspre
Del més obscur raïm.

Tu vares dir-me unes paraules
Que em van tornar als meus petits abrils.
Amada, amada em deies, i el sol fugia
Gelós d'aquelles nits.

Amb la tendresa m'acariciaves;
La meva pell volava com un crit
Perquè somniava amb les paraules
Que mai no em vares dir.

Vas apagar-te com un capvespre.
Jo vaig tornar al cau dels meus oblits
On m'esperava un vi més aspre:
La teva veu fugint.

Només deu dies varen bastar-te
Per a emmudir, amat, amat
Ara ets un eco que no em contesta.
Amat, adéu, amat.

Addition

When I had no more hope,
When my lair was only oblivion,
I only drank this bitter wine
Of the darkest grape.

You whispered words to me
That brought me back to my little springs.
Beloved, beloved, you called me, and the sun fled,
Jealous of those nights.

You caressed me with tenderness;
My skin flew like a cry
Because I dreamed of the words
That you never said to me.

You went out like a sunset.
I returned to the lair of my oblivion
Where a bitter wine awaited me:
Your fleeing voice.

Only ten days were enough
To mute you, beloved, beloved
Now you are an echo that does not answer me.
Beloved, farewell, beloved.
