Paroles et traduction Verdcel & Raimon - He Mirat Aquesta Terra

He Mirat Aquesta Terra

Quan la llum pujada des del fons del mar
A llevant comença just a tremolar,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Quan per la muntanya que tanca el ponent
El falcó s'enduia la claror del cel,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Mentre bleixa l'aire malalt de la nit
I boques de fosca fressen als camins,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Quan la pluja porta l'olor de la pols
De les fulles aspres del llunyans alocs,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Quan el vent es parla en la solitud
Dels meus morts que riuen d'estar sempre junts,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Mentre m'envelleixo en el llarg esforç
De passar la rella damunt els records,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

Quan l'estiu ajaça per tot l'adormit
Camp l'ample silenci que estenen els grills,
He mirat aquesta terra,
He mirat aquesta terra.

I Have Looked at This Land

As the light rises from the bottom of the sea
In the east it begins to tremble,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

When through the mountain that closes the west
The falcon carried away the light of the sky,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

As the sick air of the night bleats
And mouths of darkness devour the paths,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

When the rain brings the scent of dust
From the bitter leaves of distant aloes,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

When the wind speaks in solitude
Of my dead who laugh at always being together,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

As I grow old in the long effort
Of passing the plow over memories,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.

When summer lies down throughout the sleeping
Field the broad silence that the crickets spread,
I have looked at this land,
I have looked at this land.
