Paroles et traduction Maria del Mar Bonet - L'Àguila Negra

L'Àguila Negra

Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

Lentament, les ales bategant
Lentament, ell anava girant
Prop de mi, el batec s'acabà
I, com caigut del cel, l'ocell es va aturar

Els ulls eren de color robí
I les plomes de color de nit
I al seu front, mil raigs de to suau
L'ocell, rei coronat, portava un diamant blau

Amb el bec la cara em va tocar
El seu coll em vaig trobar a la mà
Fou llavors que jo vaig saber qui
Imatge del passat, volia tornar amb mi

Bon ocell, porta'm amb tu al país
D'altres temps, sigues el meu amic
Com abans, en somnis clars d'infant
Per collir tremolant estels i més estels

Com abans, en somnis clars d'infant
Com abans, damunt d'un núvol blanc
Com abans, tu i jo el sol encendrem
I a l'illa del record la pluja llançarem

L'ocell negre tombà els ulls al sol
Cap al cel tot d'una emprengué el vol

Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

Lentament, les ales bategant
Lentament, ell anava girant
Prop de mi, el batec s'acabà
Com caigut del cel, l'ocell es va aturar

Els ulls eren de color robí
I les plomes de color de nit
I al seu front, mil raigs de to suau
L'ocell, rei coronat, portava un diamant blau

Amb el bec la cara em va tocar
El seu coll em vaig trobar a la mà
Fou llavors que jo vaig saber qui
Imatge del passat, volia tornar amb mi

Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

The Black Eagle

One fine day, or perhaps one night
Close to the sea I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky filled with light
And a black bird appeared out of nowhere

Slowly, its wings beating
Slowly, it circled around
Near me, the beating stopped
And, as if fallen from the sky, the bird paused

Its eyes were the color of rubies
And its feathers the color of night
And on its forehead, a thousand rays of soft hue
The bird, a crowned king, wore a blue diamond

With its beak it touched my face
Its neck I found in my hand
It was then that I knew who
Image of the past, wanted to return with me

Beautiful bird, take me with you to the land
Of other times, be my companion
As before, in clear childhood dreams
To gather trembling stars and more stars

As before, in clear childhood dreams
As before, upon a white cloud
As before, you and I will ignite the sun
And on the island of memory we will release the rain

The black bird turned its eyes to the sun
Towards the heavens it suddenly took flight

One fine day, or perhaps one night
Close to the sea I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky filled with light
And a black bird appeared out of nowhere

Slowly, its wings beating
Slowly, it circled around
Near me, the beating stopped
As if fallen from the sky, the bird paused

Its eyes were the color of rubies
And its feathers the color of night
And on its forehead, a thousand rays of soft hue
The bird, a crowned king, wore a blue diamond

With its beak it touched my face
Its neck I found in my hand
It was then that I knew who
Image of the past, wanted to return with me

One fine day, or perhaps one night
Close to the sea I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky filled with light
And a black bird appeared out of nowhere

One fine day, or perhaps one night
Close to the sea I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky filled with light
And a black bird appeared out of nowhere
