Текст и перевод песни Lluís Llach - Viatge a Ítaca

Viatge a Ítaca

Com t′ho podria dir perquè et fos senzill,
I et fos veritat,
Que sovint em sé tant aprop teu, si canto,
Que sovint et sé tant aprop meu, si escoltes,
I penso que mai no he pogut ni dir-t'ho,
Que em caldria agraïr-te tant temps que fa que t′estimo.
Que junts hem caminat,
En la joia junts,
En la pena junts,
I has omplert tant sovint el buidor dels meus mots
I en la nostra partida sempre m'has donat un bon joc.
Per tot això i coses que t'amago
Ara vull agraïr-te tant temps que fa que t′estimo.
T′estimo, si,
Potser amb timidesa,
Potser sense saber-ne.
T'estimo,
I et sóc gelós,
I el poc que valc m′ho nego,
Si em negues la tendresa.
T'estimo
I em sé feliç
Quan veig la teva força,
Que empeny i que es revolta,
Que jo...
Que passaran els anys i vindrà l′adéu,
Com així ha de ser,
I em pregunto si trobaré el gest correcte,
O sabré acostumar-te a la teva absència,
Però tot això serà una altra història,
Ara vull agraïr-te tant temps que fa que t'estimo.
T′estimo, t'estimo, si,
Potser amb timidesa,
Potser sense saber-ne.
T'estimo,
I et sóc gelós,
I el poc que valc m′ho nego,
Si em negues la tendresa.
T′estimo,
I em sé feliç
Quan veig la teva força,
Que empeny i que es revolta,
Que jo...
T'estimo

Journey to Ithaca

How could I tell you, to make it simple,
And make it true,
That often I feel so close to you, if I sing,
That often I feel so close to you, if you listen,
And I think that I have never been able to tell you,
That for so long I needed to thank you, because I love you.
That together we have walked,
In joy together,
In sorrow together,
And you have so often filled the void of my words
And on our departure you have always given me a good set.
For all this and things that I hide from you
Now I want to thank you, for so long I have loved you.
I love you, yes,
Perhaps with shyness,
Perhaps without knowing it.
I love you,
And I am jealous of you,
And the little that I am worth, I deny,
If you deny me tenderness.
I love you
And I feel happy
When I see your strength,
That pushes and revolts,
That I...
That years will pass and the farewell will come,
As it has to be,
And I wonder if I will find the right gesture,
Or know how to get you used to your absence,
But all that will be another story,
Now I want to thank you, for so long I have loved you.
I love you, I love you, yes,
Perhaps with shyness,
Perhaps without knowing it.
I love you,
And I am jealous of you,
And the little that I am worth, I deny,
If you deny me tenderness.
I love you,
And I feel happy
When I see your strength,
That pushes and revolts,
That I...
I love you
