A Veure Què En Fem

I ara preguntes exactament què està passant
–Tu, que ho tenies tot tan lligat–
I dissimules, però crec que ho vas enganxant,
Per més que cridis, no respondran.
Els monstres de la teva infantesa trista,
El cos de professors que et va agafar mania,
No els miràvem i se'n van anar
I això, en silenci, s'anava fent gran.
Tampoc hi estic molt familiaritzat,
Però em temo que és una oportunitat.
I ara comences a entendre els pobres desgraciats
Que des d'un taxi van treure el cap
Cridant: "Prepara't, que al final et tocarà
Aprendre a viure i a no culpar
A la verola borda i a la tos ferina,
Al papa i a la mama i als crims del nazisme".
I ¿què hi farem si ens vam despistar
I això avançava infectant-nos la sang?
Prova somriure davant del mirall,
Que ara tenim una oportunitat.
Vam llevar-nos emprenyats per un soroll,
Maleint alguna festa d'estudiants tronada,
Quan vam veure un feix de llum, una claror,
Avançant entre els llençols, fregant les cames.
Vam notar que tremolava la porta del balcó
(Abans d'obrir vas comprovar el nus de la bata)
Al carrer, entre un immens núvol de pols
Fugien en desbandada animal
Les cançons que no avisaven que mentien,
Les frases serioses que ja feien riure,
I van deixar-nos aquesta veritat
Que em sap molt greu, però per sempre sabràs:
Pots agafar-la o deixar-la passar
Però ara tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Ha, ha, ha! A veure què en fem.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Ha, ha, ha! A veure què en fem.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Tenim una oportunitat.
Ha, ha, ha! A veure què en fem.

Just Waiting to See What Happens

And now you're wondering what this is all about,
–You, who had everything figured out–
And you pretend, but I think you're starting to catch on,
No matter how much you shout, they won't answer.
The ghosts of your gloomy childhood,
The teachers who made your life a misery,
We turned a blind eye to them, and they just disappeared
And this, all the while, silently began to fester.
I'm not very familiar with it either,
But I'm afraid it's an opportunity.
And now you start understanding those poor souls
Who poked their head out of a taxi and yelled:
"Get ready, because sooner or later, it'll be your turn
To learn to live without blaming it on
The pox and whooping cough,
The Pope, the Mom, the Nazis.".
And what if we got sidetracked
And this spread through our veins, infecting our blood?
Try to smile when you look at yourself in the mirror,
Because now we have an opportunity.
We got up pissed off because of the noise of some loud student party,
Cursing some stupid party,
When we saw a ray of light, a glow,
Moving between the sheets, brushing against our legs.
We noticed the balcony door trembling
(Before opening it, you checked to make sure your robe was on tight)
Outside, in a huge cloud of dust
They were fleeing in a wild animal panic
The songs that never warned us that they were lying,
The serious phrases that already made us laugh,
And they left this truth with us
Which I'm very sorry about, but you'll always remember:
You can take hold of it or let it pass you by
But now we have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
Ha, ha, ha! Just wait and see what happens.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
Ha, ha, ha! Just wait and see what happens.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
We have an opportunity.
Ha, ha, ha! Just wait and see what happens.
