Paroles et traduction Zoo - El cap per avall

El cap per avall

Vam sobreviure a l'incendi
Vam fer-li front al gegant
Vam agafar aquell quadre i ballàrem el ball
El ball del cap per avall

Paella congelada, falleres de cartró
Olor a roda cremada, gomina i processó
Saluda el senyoret, escola de retors
El sant a passejar, un beso i una flor

Nos vamos a forrar, un finde en Venidorm
Posar la mà i callar, platges de formigó
"Vivir así es morir de amor"
Cantava Milans del Bosch

L'himne regional provoca llàgrimes
Pàgines i pàgines
D'un tràgic sainet que esgarra ànimes

Pas de "pasodoble" al camp de futbol
Alça la mà dreta l'afició a la curva nord
Una discoteca enmig d'un camp d'arròs
Boquetes tortes a la terra de les flors

La Geperudeta besant la Moraneta
Vendetta!! Vendetta i noves glòries en oferta
Allà on el món s'explica en diminutiu
On plora la collita del secà i del regadiu

Plou amb burrera
Però sempre baixa buit el riu
I una bandera
Talla com arma de doble fill

Vivim la vida de gaidó
Acabareu com el pelletesa Alcoi
Del Montdúnver al Penyagolosa i el Benicadell
El poble serà un martell o un pes mort

Vam sobreviure a l'incendi
Vam fer-li front al gegant
Vam suportar eixes bombes
Que encara ressonen per serres i valls
Vam defugir eixes normes
Vam profanar els seus sants
Vam agafar aquell quadre i ballàrem
El ball: el ball del cap per avall

Vinc d'on van voler fer una falla
Terra de foc i de sal
On la metralla travessava
I rebentava els cristalls

On les muntanyes baixen escalonades per
Lluir bancals que donen alegries, penes i menjar
Vinc de les platges horteres sostingudes amb deutes brutals de
Microclima i macroestafa, Trist i real
Roders que repartien, herois de veritat
Segrestadors de La Marina i del Comtat

Taronges i olives, cirera i raïm
Netes de morisques, fills de mallorquins
On no para la festa fins dimecres que comença i
Tots els problemes es dissolen en anís

Tenim una cova de lladres en cada ciutat
Molt d'aprofitat per metre quadrat
Una costa traïda, un desig de fugida
Amb un tren cap al nord que no arriba

Camps abandonats, qui vol llaurar podent ser ric?
Guiris reballats, passa la vida
Cada primavera s'emociona algun lletraferit
Quan pega un esclafit la vall florida

Tantes voltes torts en tantes dates
L'arbre mai no havia estat madur
Sabíem que seria dur, ni nom, ni mapa, ni futur
Amors que maten, cacem rates i tombem els murs

Vam sobreviure a l'incendi
Vam fer-li front al gegant
Vam suportar eixes bombes que
Encaren ressonen per serres i valls
Vam defugir eixes normes
Vam profanar els seus sants
Vam agafar aquell quadre i ballàrem
El ball, el ball del cap per avall

Vam sobreviure a l'incendi
Vam fer-li front al gegant
Vam suportar eixes bombes que
Encara ressonen per serres i valls
Vam defugir eixes normes
Vam profanar els seus sants
Vam agafar aquell quadre i ballàrem
El ball, el ball, el ball-
Del cap per avall

The World Upside Down

We survived the fire
We faced the giant
We took that picture and danced the dance
The dance of the world upside down

Frozen paella, cardboard Fallas
Smell of burnt rubber, hair gel and procession
Greet the little lord, school of setbacks
The saint out for a walk, a kiss and a flower

We're going to get rich, a weekend in Benidorm
Put your hand up and shut up, concrete beaches
"To live like this is to die of love"
Milans del Bosch used to sing

The regional anthem brings tears
Pages and pages
Of a tragic farce that tears souls apart

From "pasodoble" to the football field
The fans in the north stand raise their right hands
A nightclub in the middle of a rice field
Twisted mouths in the land of flowers

Geperudeta kissing Moraneta
Vendetta!! Vendetta and new glories on offer
Where the world is explained in diminutive
Where the harvest of dryland and irrigated land weeps

It rains with fury
But the river always runs dry
And a flag
Cuts like a double-edged weapon

We live the life of a donkey
You'll end up like the Alcoy pellet
From Montdúnver to Penyagolosa and Benicadell
The people will be a hammer or a dead weight

We survived the fire
We faced the giant
We endured those bombs
That still resonate through mountains and valleys
We shunned those norms
We desecrated their saints
We took that picture and danced
The dance: the dance of the world upside down

I come from where they wanted to make a falla
Land of fire and salt
Where the shrapnel pierced through
And shattered the glass

Where the mountains descend in steps to
Show off terraces that give joy, sorrow and food
I come from the orchard beaches sustained with brutal debts of
Microclimate and macro-fraud, sad and real
Robbers who distributed, true heroes
Kidnappers of La Marina and El Comtat

Oranges and olives, cherries and grapes
Granddaughters of Moors, sons of Mallorcans
Where the party doesn't stop until Wednesday when it starts and
All problems dissolve in anisette

We have a den of thieves in every city
Too many profiteers per square meter
A betrayed coast, a desire to escape
With a train to the north that never arrives

Abandoned fields, who wants to farm when they can be rich?
Dancing guiris, life goes on
Every spring some writer gets emotional
When the flowering valley is hit by a storm

So many twists and turns on so many dates
The tree had never been ripe
We knew it would be hard, no name, no map, no future
Loves that kill, we hunt rats and tear down walls

We survived the fire
We faced the giant
We endured those bombs that
Still resonate through mountains and valleys
We shunned those norms
We desecrated their saints
We took that picture and danced
The dance, the dance of the world upside down

We survived the fire
We faced the giant
We endured those bombs that
Still resonate through mountains and valleys
We shunned those norms
We desecrated their saints
We took that picture and danced
The dance, the dance, the dance-
Of the world upside down
