Текст и перевод песни Manu Guix - Temps Passat

Temps Passat

Era un home fet de somnis
Que esquivava realitats
S′envoltava de mentides
Que per ell eren veritats
Maleïda soledat

En aquella cantonada
Contemplava el temps passar
Era com si l'enyorança
D′un passatge molt llunyà

No el deixés tirar endavant
I es deixava vèncer

I aferrant-se a un món inventat
Ho veia tot amb els ulls aclucats
I vivia la vida dins el seu cap
Recordant el temps passat

Després de molts anys veient-lo
Assegut al mateix banc
Vaig atrevir-me a preguntar-li
Que és el què li va passar
De cop va començar a parlar

Mmm contenint els ulls humits
Em va començar a explicar
Va ser en aquesta cantonada on fa temps es va enamorar
De fet encara ho està
I va agafar embranzida

Desfilava la vida al meu davant
Feia massa temps que s'ho estava guardant
No va deixar-se ni un sol detall
Va explicar-me la història d'amor més bonica del món

I va plorar recordant il·lusions
Quan ella hi era tot era millor
Tot era fàcil i res feia por
S′inventaven un món
Fet a mida pels dos

Ella se′l va estimar tant
Fins que la memòria la va abandonar
Sempre se'n van els que no haurien de marxar mai
Des d′aleshores viu sol assegut sempre al mateix banc

I vivia la vida dins el seu cap
Recordant el temps passat

Era un home fet de somnis
Que esquivava realitats

Time Gone By

I was a man made of dreams
Who dodged reality
I surrounded myself with lies
That were truths to me
Cursed loneliness

At that corner
I watched the time go by
It was as if the longing
Of a very distant passage

Would not let me move forward
And I let myself be defeated

And clinging to an invented world
I saw everything with my eyes closed
And I lived my life in my head
Remembering the time gone by

After many years watching him
Sitting on the same bench
I dared to ask him
What happened to him
Suddenly, he started talking

Mmm containing his moist eyes
He began to explain to me
It was at this corner that he fell in love a long time ago
In fact, he still is
And he took impulse

Life paraded before my eyes
He had been keeping it for too long
He did not leave out a single detail
He told me the most beautiful love story in the world

And he cried remembering illusions
When she was there, everything was better
Everything was easy, and nothing was scary
They invented a world
Tailor-made for both

She loved him so much
Until memory abandoned her
Those who should never leave always leave
Since then, he has lived alone, always sitting on the same bench

And I lived my life in my head
Remembering the time gone by

I was a man made of dreams
Who dodged reality
