Текст и перевод песни Silvia Pérez Cruz & Raül Fernandez Miró - Albert

Albert

Papa, jo vull ser torero,
Papa jo vull matar toros,
Papa jo vull saltar als ruedos,
Ay papa jo vull ser torero.
I el pare es deseperava,
Ell que era tan honorable,
Potestat de la sardana,
I de les lletres catalanes,
La veritat no comprenia,
I quin cony de fill que tenia,
Si tenia tot lo que volia,
Si tenia amor, tenia familia,
I ho sento molt i ho sento molt i ho sento molt.
Però haurem de resignant-se a no poder rentant-se
Hi ha sequia
Hi ha sequia a la comarca
Un tràgic racionament d′aigua
I els porcs moren a les granges
I els iaios se'ns deshidraten
S′empastifen les sabates de ciment per les aceres
I ara haurem de resignant-se
A sofrir la cara bruta de l'amor.
I ho sento molt i ho sento molt i ho sento molt.
Si a la platja vas
Si a la platja vaig
Si a la platja anem
I si una cala trobes
I si una cala trobo
I si una cala trobem
I si tu prens el sol
I si jo prenc el sol
Si prenem tots dos
Si jo veig una dona
I si tu veus un home
és que som nosaltres
Mira tu quina casualitat
Que ens ha tocat per viure
Que és aquella dona ets tu
I aquell home sóc jo
I ho sento molt i ho sento molt i ho sento molt.
Però haurem de resignant-se a no poder rentant-se
Hi ha sequia
Hi ha sequia a la comarca
Un tràgic racionament d'aigua
I els porcs moren a les granges
I els iaios se′ns deshidraten
S′empastifen les sabates de ciment per les aceres
I ara haurem de resignant-se
A sofrir la cara bruta de l'amor

Albert

My dearest, I aspire to be a fearless bullfighter,
My love, I desire to slay formidable beasts,
My beloved, I yearn to leap into the grand arenas,
My darling, I am determined to become a celebrated bullfighter.
Yet my father was filled with despair,
He who was so honorable,
A master of traditional Catalan dance,
And a scholar of Catalan literature,
He could not fathom my aspirations,
And what a confounded son he had,
For I possessed everything I could ever desire,
I was surrounded by love and family,
And for this, I apologize profusely.
But we must resign ourselves to the limitations of our current situation,
For there is a drought,
A severe drought in our region,
Water rationing has become a tragic necessity,
And pigs are perishing in their pens,
While our elderly loved ones suffer from dehydration,
The sidewalks are caked with hardened cement,
And now we must reconcile ourselves
To enduring the unwashed face of love.
And for this, I apologize profusely.
If you venture to the beach,
If I venture to the beach,
If we venture to the beach,
And if you discover a secluded cove,
And if I discover a secluded cove,
And if we discover a secluded cove,
And if you bask in the sunlight,
And if I bask in the sunlight,
If we both bask in the sunlight,
If I notice a woman,
And if you notice a man,
It is we,
Behold the incredible coincidence,
That has brought us together,
That woman is you,
And that man is I,
And for this, I apologize profusely.
But we must resign ourselves to the limitations of our current situation,
For there is a drought,
A severe drought in our region,
Water rationing has become a tragic necessity,
And pigs are perishing in their pens,
While our elderly loved ones suffer from dehydration,
The sidewalks are caked with hardened cement,
And now we must reconcile ourselves
To enduring the unwashed face of love
