Текст и перевод песни EBRI KNIGHT - Els Herois

Els Herois

Ja feia dies que us volia escriure
I avui ho faig des del desert
Aquesta nit ha sigut llarga
I l′he passat tota despert
Se senten crits, xiscles i brames
A l'altra banda del massís
Però ens fan pensar que és tot un conte
I així fem passar una altra nit
I quan un dia hi ha hagut matança
Som els herois d′allà on venim
Tenim les mans brutes encara
Però ho celebrem tota la nit
Aquí els qui manen porten medalles
I duen ben planxat l'abric
Tenen les botes ben enllustrades
I mai no veuen l'enemic
Però aquells senyors de la corbata
Ens protegeixen
I a canvi no preguntem res
Per què aixequen parets
I per què serveixen
I què pensen fer després
Amb els presoners
Penso tornar quan tingui uns dies
Per descansar d′aquest infern
Us duré joies, quadres i robes
Que hem agafat a aquesta gent
Ha costat feina fer les troballes
He hagut de vessar molta sang
Quan tothom parli la nostra llengua
Ja res d′això recordaran
Però aquells senyors de la corbata
Ens protegeixen
I a canvi no preguntem res
Per què aixequen parets
I per què serveixen
I què pensen fer després
Amb els presoners
Però aquells senyors de la corbata
Ens protegeixen
I a canvi no preguntem res
Per què aixequen parets
I per què serveixen
I què pensen fer després
Amb els presoners

Heroes

I've been meaning to write you for days now,
And today I do so from the desert.
This night has been long,
And I've spent the whole night awake.
I can hear cries, screams, and roars
On the other side of the mountain range.
But they pretend to us that it's all a fairy tale,
And that's how we make it through another night.
And after a day of killing,
We're the heroes back home.
Our hands are still dirty,
But we'll celebrate the whole night through.
Over here, those in charge wear medals
And their coats are always pressed.
Their boots are always shining,
And they never see the enemy.
But those gentlemen in ties,
They protect us,
And in return, we ask nothing.
Why do they build walls?
And why do they fight?
And what do they plan to do next
With the prisoners?
I plan to return when I have a few days free.
To rest from this hell.
I'll bring you jewels, paintings, and clothing
That we've taken from these people.
It was hard work to find them.
I had to shed a lot of blood.
When everyone speaks our language,
They won't remember any of this.
But those gentlemen in ties,
They protect us,
And in return, we ask nothing.
Why do they build walls?
And why do they fight?
And what do they plan to do next
With the prisoners?
But those gentlemen in ties,
They protect us,
And in return, we ask nothing.
Why do they build walls?
And why do they fight?
And what do they plan to do next
With the prisoners?
