Текст и перевод песни Manel - La jungla

La jungla

Li vaig dir de fer una ruta
De sortir d'hora, al matí
Prop d'un riu acamparíem
Just abans que es fes de nit
Tinc hamaques, armes blanques
Tinc colònia pels mosquits
Per sopar piranya a la brasa
I tota la jungla per tu i per mi

Però què va! Però què va!
Ella no hi volia anar!
Jo l'hi he dit, jo l'hi vaig dir
I ella mai va voler venir

I a la jungla els rius, si vessen, es transformen en pantà
I quan ve l'època de pluges ja no s'hi pot arribar
I ella no hi va voler anar

I què me'n dius si faig trucades
I recluto alguns amics
Si sortim aquesta tarda
I a l'estany fem un partit?
Hi ha molt gruix, el gel aguanta
No hi ha risc, no hi ha perill!
Que l'esport és saludable!
T'ho prometo, serà divertit

Però què va! Però què va!
Va dir que potser més endavant
L'hi vaig dir, vaig insistir
Però ella mai va voler venir

I el desembre era l'època ideal per patinar
Però ja se sap que, el gel, si deixes passar els mesos es desfà
I ella no hi va voler anar

Fins que un dia dins el cotxe
Excitat vaig proposar
De trencar per la drecera
De les corbes del barranc
Apreciar unes bones vistes
Evitar les retencions
Inventar el nostre propi trajecte
Que per l'autopista ja hi va tothom!

Però què va! Però què va!
Va dir "frena, que vull baixar!"
L'hi vaig dir, vaig insistir
Però no va voler canviar de camí

Vaig parar enmig d'un polígon i ella, en lloc de dir-me adeu
Cridava "no hi ha un bon camí, sinó que cadascú té el seu"
I "si autopista i carretera són opcions tan diferents
El teu camí i el meu", va dir, "t'ho juro, no s'assemblen gens"
I es va perdre entre unes mates remugant que era molt trist
Que realment jo necessiti tot això per ser feliç

I ella no hi va voler anar
I ella no hi va voler anar

The Jungle

I told you I was going on a trip
To leave early, in the morning
We'd camp by a river
Just before nightfall
I have hammocks, bladed weapons
I have mosquito repellent
Grilled piranha for dinner
And the whole jungle to ourselves

But no! But no!
She didn't want to go!
I told her, I told her
And she never wanted to come

And in the jungle, the rivers, if they overflow, turn into a swamp
And when the rainy season comes, you can't get there anymore
And she didn't want to go

And what do you think if I make some calls
And recruit some friends
If we leave this afternoon
And have a game at the lake?
There's a lot of thickness, the ice holds
There's no risk, no danger!
That sport is healthy!
I promise you, it'll be fun

But no! But no!
She said maybe later
I told her, I insisted
But she never wanted to come

And December was the ideal time to skate
But as you know, ice melts if you let months go by
And she didn't want to go

Until one day in the car
I excitedly proposed
To take the shortcut
Of the curves of the ravine
To appreciate some good views
Avoid the traffic jams
Invent our own route
Because everyone takes the highway!

But no! But no!
She said, "Stop, I want to get off!"
I told her, I insisted
But she didn't want to change her path

I pulled over in the middle of an industrial area, and she, instead of saying goodbye
Yelled, "There is no one right way, but that everyone has their own"
And "if highway and road are such different options
Your path and mine," she said, "I swear, are not alike at all"
And she got lost in some bushes, muttering that it was very sad
That I really need all this to be happy

And she didn't want to go
And she didn't want to go
