Текст и перевод песни Marc Parrot - Veles e Vents

Veles e Vents

Veles e vents han mos desigs complir,
Faent camins dubtosos per la mar.
Mestre i ponent contra d'ells veig armar;
Xaloc, llevant, los deuen subvenir
Ab llurs amics lo grec e lo migjorn,
Fent humils precs al vent tramuntanal
Que en son bufar los sia parcial
E que tots cinc complesquen mon retorn.

Bullirà el mar com la cassola en forn,
Mudant color e l'estat natural,
E mostrarà voler tota res mal
Que sobre si atur un punt al jorn.
Grans e pocs peixs a recors correran
E cercaran amagatalls secrets:
Fugint al mar, on són nodrits e fets,
Per gran remei en terra eixiran.

Amor de vós jo en sent més que no en sé,
De què la part pitjor me'n romandrà;
E de vós sap lo qui sens vós està.
A joc de daus vos acompararé.

Io tem la mort per no ser-vos absent,
Perquè amor per mort és anul·lat:
Mas jo no creu que mon voler sobrat
Pusca esser per tal departiment.
Jo só gelós de vostre escàs voler,
Que, jo morint, no meta mi en oblit.
Sol est pensar me tol del món delit,
Car nós vivint, no creu se pusca fer:

Aprés ma mort, d'amar perdau poder,
E sia tost en ira convertit.
E, jo forçat d'aquest món ser eixit,
Tot lo meu mal serà vós no veer.

Amor, de vós jo en sent més que no en sé,
De què la part pitjor me'n romandrà,
E de vós sap lo qui sens vós està:
A joc de daus vos acompararé.

Veles e Vents

My wishes are driven by wavering winds,
Charting dubious courses across the sea.
Master and west come armed against them, I see;
Southeast, east—they must take my side
With their allies the Greek and the south,
Humbly entreating the north wind's grace
To favor their breath and steady my pace.
So these five powers may grant my safe return.

The sea will churn as a cauldron over fire,
Changing color and its nature's will,
Threatening great harm with every swelling billow
Should I linger on its surface even a day.
Fish great and small will scurry and flee,
Seeking refuge in hidden nooks and crannies;
Fleeing the sea where they were born and bred,
Seeking safety on the rescuing shore.

My love for you, my lady, I feel more than I know,
Though the bitterest part remains ever concealed;
Only those who are parted from you understand.
To a game of dice I liken your love.

I fear death only for the absence it brings,
For love is extinguished when the body dies;
But I cannot believe that my love's intense flame
Could be extinguished by such separation.
I am jealous of your meager affection,
Lest, when I am gone, you cast me from your thoughts.
This fear alone robs me of joy,
For while we live, I cannot imagine such a thing.

After my death, you will lose the power to love,
And your feelings will swiftly turn to anger.
And when I am forced to depart from this world,
My greatest torment will be not seeing you.

My love for you, my lady, I feel more than I know,
Though the bitterest part remains ever concealed;
Only those who are parted from you understand.
To a game of dice I liken your love.
