Paroles et traduction Xavi Sarrià - On habita l'aire

On habita l'aire

Et busque a les fosques
Caminant pel barri
Entre les ombres sota la caputxa
Que encara em fa més fràgil

Com atrapat en un vagó oxidat
De les muntanyes russes
On cavalquen els traumes
Monstres i fantasmes
Que no em van deixar aprendre
A governar el volant

I ara em tomba indomable
Mai m'hi acostumaré
Tampoc vull resignar-me
Hauria d'estimar-me
Començar a cuidar-me
Ho he provat mil voltes
I he fracassat totes

I ara camine a les fosques
Entre llops i papallones
Un altre cop
Empaitant respostes
Un color, un rostre,
Un pedaç de vida
Que de sobte em toca
I que m'il·lumina
I em naix un vers als llavis
Com un raig de sol
Que s'endinsa per les venes
Tendre i brutal

Potser és un miratge
Però m'és igual
És una caiguda lliure
Un allau de pau
Una calma profunda
Que em besa
M'inunda
Com tu quan tanque els ulls
I et recorde encara
Acaronant-me la cara

Han passat tants anys
Que ja no et pose rostre
Però sempre et retrobe
Quan et necessite

No ho puc explicar
Només ho visc
I calle
I t'estime
I et trobe a faltar

S'obrirà el mar
Tremolarà la terra
Seré un volcà
De lava i fúria encesa
Cobriré el cel
De cendres i esperances
I em fondré amb tu
On habita l'aire
On habita l'aire

Només era un infant
I els anys em cabien
A les meues petites mans
Encara em sobraven
Uns quants dits per dibuixar
La casa, el sol, l'arbre d'un demà
Que mai no va arribar

La vida ens sorprèn
Amb bombes amagades
És el que hi ha
Condemnats a sobreviure
Als cops i les pallisses
Que ens deixen orfes
Abandonats
En paisatges nevats

On el fred ens talla
Ens paralitza
Ens deixa inconscients
Incapaços d'entendre
Qui som nosaltres
Entre capes de gel

Jo intente escalfar la meua
Alliberar-me,
Trobar les flames
Cosir les ales
Aprendre a volar
Tocar els astres
Deixar un rastre
Per poder tornar
A voltar per barri
Valorant el que em queda
I no el que falta

És complicat
Però ho intente
I arribe a casa
Escric unes paraules
Desordenades
Gargotejades
En una antiga llibreta
Que explica qui sóc
I m'ajuda a refugiar-me

Com tu quan tanque els ulls
I et recorde encara
Acaronant-me la cara
Han passat tants anys
Que ja no et pose rostre
Però sempre et retrobe
Quan et necessite

No es pot explicar
Només ho visc
I calle
I t'estime
I et trobe a faltar

Where the Air Resides

I search for you in the darkness
Walking through the neighborhood
Among the shadows, under the hood
That makes me feel even more fragile

Like trapped in a rusty wagon
Of a roller coaster
Where traumas ride
Monsters and ghosts
That didn't let me learn
To steer the wheel

And now it throws me around, untamable
I'll never get used to it
Nor do I want to resign myself
I should love myself
Start taking care of myself
I've tried a thousand times
And failed every single one

And now I walk in the darkness
Among wolves and butterflies
Once again
Chasing answers
A color, a face,
A patch of life
That suddenly touches me
And illuminates me
And a verse is born on my lips
Like a ray of sunshine
That pierces through my veins
Tender and brutal

Maybe it's a mirage
But I don't care
It's a free fall
An avalanche of peace
A deep calm
That kisses me
Floods me
Like you when I close my eyes
And I still remember you
Caressing my face

So many years have passed
That I can no longer picture your face
But I always find you again
When I need you

I can't explain it
I just live it
And I remain silent
And I love you
And I miss you

The sea will open
The earth will tremble
I will be a volcano
Of lava and burning fury
I will cover the sky
With ashes and hopes
And I will melt with you
Where the air resides
Where the air resides

I was just a child
And the years fit
In my small hands
I still had some fingers left
To draw
The house, the sun, the tree of a tomorrow
That never came

Life surprises us
With hidden bombs
That's how it is
Condemned to survive
The blows and beatings
That leave us orphaned
Abandoned
In snowy landscapes

Where the cold cuts us
Paralyzes us
Leaves us unconscious
Unable to understand
Who we are
Among layers of ice

I try to warm mine
To break free,
To find the flames
To sew the wings
To learn to fly
To touch the stars
To leave a trace
So I can return
To wander the neighborhood
Valuing what I have left
And not what's missing

It's complicated
But I try
And I arrive home
I write some words
Disordered
Scribbled
In an old notebook
That explains who I am
And helps me take refuge

Like you when I close my eyes
And I still remember you
Caressing my face
So many years have passed
That I can no longer picture your face
But I always find you again
When I need you

It can't be explained
I just live it
And I remain silent
And I love you
And I miss you
