Текст и перевод песни Lluís Llach - El bandoler

El bandoler

Era el segle XIX
Amb el nom d′en Joan Serra
Es coneix un bandoler
Per tothom en "La Pera"
Li agradava la sang
I el xiprer encara recorda
Tots els crits que allà han pregat
Pietat, pietat
No em mateu
Que tinc dos fills i una esposa
Us daré tot mon diner
Però no em claveu eixa daga
No em mateu
Us demano per ma mare!
Reseu l'últim "Crec en Déu"
Pietat, pietat"
L′endemà
Davant la Verge del Carme
De genolls està pregant
I a dos ciris encén la flama
Però altre cop surt del bosc
Un gemec que el vent escampa
I el botxí no escoltarà
Pietat, pietat
No em mateu
Que tinc dos fills i una esposa
Us daré tot mon diner
Però no em claveu eixa daga
No em mateu
Us demano per ma mare!
Reseu l'últim "Crec en Déu"
Pietat, pietat
Però, Joan Serra
Avui t'ha mancat la sort
Dos soldats t′han pres ben fort
I ara estàs entre barrots
L′endemà de bon matí
Veu la forca preparada
En "La Pera" dóna un crit
és l'última pregària
Quan jo sigui ben mort
I penjat de l′alta forca
I defalleixi mon cor
I m'aneu a posar a la fossa
Que algú resi una pregària
Davant la Verge del Carme
I que dos ciris tinguin flama
Ningú no ho va fer

The Outlaw

It was the 19th century
Under the name of Joan Serra
A bandit is known
By everyone as "La Pera"
He enjoyed the blood
And the cypress still remembers
All the cries that have prayed there
Mercy, mercy
Don't kill me
I have two children and a wife
I'll give you all my money
But don't stab me with that dagger
Don't kill me
I beg you by my mother!
Pray the last "I believe in God"
Mercy, mercy"
The next day
Before the Virgin of Carmel
He is praying on his knees
And lights the flame on two candles
But another time he comes out of the forest
A groan that the wind spreads
And the executioner will not listen
Mercy, mercy
Don't kill me
I have two children and a wife
I'll give you all my money
But don't stab me with that dagger
Don't kill me
I beg you by my mother!
Pray the last "I believe in God"
Mercy, mercy
But, Joan Serra
Today you've missed your luck
Two soldiers have taken you very strong
And now you are between bars
The next day early in the morning
He sees the gallows prepared
In "La Pera" he gives a cry
it is the last prayer
When I am dead
And hanging from the high gallows
And my heart fails
And you put me in the grave
Let someone say a prayer
Before the Virgin of Carmel
And let two candles have a flame
No one did it
