| Sento una veu dins meu
| I feel a voice inside me
|
| Que no sé si és mora o és gitana
| I don't know if she's a Moor or a gypsy
|
| Sento una veu dins meu
| I feel a voice inside me
|
| Que no sé si és jueva o catalana
| I don't know if she's Jewish or Catalan
|
| Sento una veu que és trista
| I hear a voice that is sad
|
| Però que olora amb pólvora feta de vida
| But that smells like gunpowder made of life
|
| Sempre vaig Rambla avall
| I always go down the boulevard
|
| I tombo pel carrer Hospital
| And I walk down Hospital Street
|
| Puc remar pel Raval
| I can paddle in the Raval
|
| O bé arribar-me a la Reial
| Or get to the Royal
|
| I a cada cantonada
| And on every corner
|
| Sento dins la fosca que una veu s’amarga
| I feel in the dark that a voice is bitter
|
| Sento una veu que plora
| I hear a voice crying
|
| Que plora pels carrers de Barcelona
| She cries in the streets of Barcelona
|
| Tiro cap a esquerra i dreta
| I shoot left and right
|
| Sempre per la banda estreta
| Always on the narrow side
|
| No em puc fiar de la vista
| I can't trust my eyesight
|
| Si faig el camí del turista
| If I make my way to the tourist
|
| I sento la veu més dolça, que em diu:
| And I hear the sweetest voice, telling me:
|
| «vine, perde’t pels carrers de Barcelona»
| "Come, get lost in the streets of Barcelona"
|
| I sento la veu més forta, que em diu:
| And I hear the loudest voice telling me:
|
| «deixa la por, perd la vergonya!»
| "Stop the fear, lose the shame!"
|
| Il-luminat amb boja pèrdua
| Illuminated with crazy loss
|
| Sempre tombo cap a mar
| I always turn to the sea
|
| Allà on tota ciutat comença
| Where every city begins
|
| I on el cau no han foradat
| And where the lair has not been drilled
|
| I espero que arribi la fosca
| And I hope the darkness comes
|
| Per veure si la veu és balladora
| To see if the voice is dancing
|
| I és que Barcelona s’amaga
| And Barcelona is hiding
|
| Però de nit l’he vist ballar
| But at night I saw him dance
|
| Com una gitana
| Like a gypsy
|
| «Vine cap aquí, vine cap aquí!»
| "Come here, come here!"
|
| Cantonada a cantonada
| Corner to corner
|
| «Vine cap aquí, vine cap aquí!»
| "Come here, come here!"
|
| Pels de fora es posa guapa
| She looks pretty on the outside
|
| «Vine cap aquí, vine cap aquí!»
| "Come here, come here!"
|
| Cantonada a cantonada
| Corner to corner
|
| «Vine cap aquí, vine cap aquí!»
| "Come here, come here!"
|
| Jo la busco i ella s’amaga
| I look for her and she hides
|
| Té molta cara
| He has a lot of face
|
| Té poca vergonya
| He has little shame
|
| Com camela quan remena, Barcelona | Like a camel when shuffling, Barcelona |
