Текст и перевод песни Manel - L'espectre de Maria Antonieta

L'espectre de Maria Antonieta

Clar que arriben dies on tothom li sembla imbècil i opta per callar
Clar que si es concentra pot sentir perfums exòtics recorrent-li el braç
Clar que es fa pesada amb els seus contes de carrosses que travessen prats
No goseu jutjar-la des dels vostres cossos momentàniament tan vius i sans

Que al tombant de vespre
Quan el sol se'n va
Maria Antonieta
Surt a investigar

I travessa el trànsit
I es cola allà on vol
Per fer por a nenes
I a homes sense son

I amb altres espectres
Es riu dels mortals
Asseguda en punxes
De la catedral

I sobrevolant París desert es diu
Maria, ets aquí, tan llesta com et penses i no veus com els records
T'estan mentint, t'estan mentint
I es diu
Maria, només tu saps com vas arribar a avorrir la vida a l'interior d'aquells jardins, d'aquells jardins

The Ghost of Marie Antoinette

Of course, there will come a day when everyone thinks she is an imbecile and chooses to remain silent
Of course, if she concentrates, she can smell exotic perfumes running down her arm
Of course, she gets heavy with her stories of carriages crossing meadows
Do not dare to judge her from your bodies, momentarily so alive and healthy

At dusk
When the sun goes down
Marie Antoinette
Goes out to investigate

And she crosses the traffic
And she sneaks in where she wants
To scare little girls
And sleepless men

And with other ghosts
She laughs at mortals
Sitting on spikes
Of the cathedral

And flying over empty Paris, I say
Marie, you're here, as clever as you think you are and you don't see how the memories
Are lying to you, are lying to you
And I say
Marie, only you know how you came to despise life inside those gardens, those gardens
