L'estaca - directo

L′avi Siset em parlava
De bon matí al portal
Mentre el sol esperàvem
I els carros vèiem passar
Siset, que no veus l'estaca
On estem tots lligats?
Si no podem desfer-nos-en
Mai no podrem caminar!
Si estirem tots, ella caurà
I molt de temps no pot durar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
Ben corcada deu ser ja
Si jo l′estiro fort per aquí
I tu l'estires fort per allà
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar
Però, Siset, fa molt temps ja
Les mans se'm van escorxant
I quan la força se me′n va
Ella és més ampla i més gran
Ben cert sé que està podrida
Però és que, Siset, pesa tant
Que a cops la força m′oblida
Torna'm a dir el teu cant
Si estirem tots, ella caurà
I molt de temps no pot durar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
Ben corcada deu ser ja
Si jo l′estiro fort per aquí
I tu l'estires fort per allà
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar
L′avi Siset ja no diu res
Mal vent que se l'emportà
Ell qui sap cap a quin indret
I jo a sota el portal
I quan passen els nous vailets
Estiro el coll per cantar
El darrer cant d′en Siset
El darrer que em va ensenyar
Si estirem tots, ella caurà
I molt de temps no pot durar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
Ben corcada deu ser ja
Si tu l'estires fort per aquí
I jo l'estiro fort per allà
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
Ben corcada deu ser ja
Si tu l′estires fort per aquí
I jo l′estiro fort per allà
Segur que tomba, tomba, tomba
I ens podrem alliberar

The Stake - live

Grandpa Siset told me
Early in the morning at the entrance
As we waited for the sun
And watched the carts pass by
Siset, can't you see the stake
To which we are all tied?
If we can't get rid of it
We will never be able to walk!
If we all pull, it will fall
And it can't last much longer
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
It must be quite rotten by now
If I pull it hard over here
And you pull it hard over there
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
And we can free ourselves
But, Siset, it's been a long time
My hands are getting chafed
And when my strength fades
It grows wider and taller
I know for sure that it is rotten
But, Siset, it's so heavy
That sometimes my strength fails
Sing me your song again
If we all pull, it will fall
And it can't last much longer
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
It must be quite rotten by now
If I pull it hard over here
And you pull it hard over there
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
And we can free ourselves
Grandpa Siset doesn't say anything anymore
Evil wind took him away
Who knows to what place
And I under the entrance
And when the new boys pass by
I stretch my neck to sing
Siset's last song
The last one he taught me
If we all pull, it will fall
And it can't last much longer
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
It must be quite rotten by now
If you pull it hard over here
And I pull it hard over there
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
And we can free ourselves
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
And we can free ourselves
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
It must be quite rotten by now
If you pull it hard over here
And I pull it hard over there
Surely it will fall, fall, fall
And we can free ourselves
