Текст и перевод песни Joan Miquel Oliver - Ai Las!

Ai Las!

Arbre que mira farola,
Farola que mira façana.
Façana que mira un rellotge,
Rellotge que mira campana.
Campana que mira finestra,
Finestra que mira tramvia.
Tramvia que mira bufanda,
Bufanda que mira Robot.
Ai Las! Sa vida és un principi, un nus i un desenllaç.
Sabata que mira telèfon,
Telèfon que mira cadira.
Cadira que mira diari,
Diari que mira revista.
Revista que mira sa tele,
Sa tele que mira sa roba.
Sa roba que mira sa planxa,
Sa planxa que mira es calaix.
Ai Las! Sa vida és un principi, un nus i un desenllaç.
Arbre que mira farola,
Farola que mira senyora.
Senyora que mira quina hora,
Sa filla taronja devora.
Eclipsi que tapa la pruna,
Espurna que vola en el·lipsi.
Col·lapse que evoca una crisi,
I na Cindy augura un desastre.
Ai Las! Sa vida és un principi, un nus i un desenllaç.
Ai Las! Sa vida és un principi, un nus i un desenllaç.

Alas!

Tree that looks at streetlight,
Streetlight that looks at facade.
Facade that looks at a clock,
Clock that looks at a bell.
Bell that looks at window,
Window that looks at tram.
Tram that looks at scarf,
Scarf that looks at robot.
Alas! Life is a beginning, a knot and an end.
Shoe that looks at telephone,
Telephone that looks at chair.
Chair that looks at newspaper,
Newspaper that looks at magazine.
Magazine that looks at television,
Television that looks at clothes.
Clothes that looks at iron,
Iron that looks at drawer.
Alas! Life is a beginning, a knot and an end.
Tree that looks at streetlight,
Streetlight that looks at lady.
Lady that looks at what time it is,
Her orange-eating daughter.
Eclipse that covers the plum,
Spark that flies in the ellipse.
Collapse that evokes a crisis,
And Cindy foretells a disaster.
Alas! Life is a beginning, a knot and an end.
Alas! Life is a beginning, a knot and an end.
