Paroles et traduction Pep Sala - Al Costat de Jack I Neal

Al Costat de Jack I Neal

Ells volien trencar esquemes de dalt a baix
Ells volien canviar les formes en un país convencional
Escrivien molt de pressa i sense por
Tot anant d'un lloc a un altre, sense cap direcció
Recitant els seus poemes despullats
Els llibres eren la vida per davant, a cada instant

Conduint de costa a costa
Al costat de Jack i Neal
Tots fumàvem i bevíem
Travessant tot el país
La vida és una novel.la
Que algú ha escrit per mi
Consumint els nostres dies
I buscant un nou sentit

Ells volien deixar enrere el seu passat
Totes les barres i estrelles i el somni americà
Preferien fer-se amb "ionquis" indigents
Que amb pensadors pagats i polítics somrients
Explicant la seva vida en el camí
Esperant poder ser lliures i buscant el seu destí

By Jack and Neal's Side

They wanted to break schemes from top to bottom
They wanted to change forms in a conventional country
They wrote very fast and without fear
Going from one place to another, without any direction
Reciting their stripped-down poems
Books were life before, in every moment

Driving from coast to coast
By Jack and Neal's side
We all smoked and drank
Crossing the whole country
Life is a novel
That someone wrote for me
Consuming our days
And seeking a new meaning

They wanted to leave their past behind
All the bars and stars and the American dream
They preferred to get along with poor "junkies"
Than with paid thinkers and smiling politicians
Explaining their life on the road
Hoping to be free and seeking their destiny
