| Dormies mig agafada al meu braç,
| You were half asleep in my arms,
|
| ha sonat un clàxon de cotxe encallat,
| a car horn sounded,
|
| has obert un ull mandrós i callat
| you have opened a lazy, silent eye
|
| i has tornat al teu somni privat.
| and you have returned to your private dream.
|
| Pujava el cafè i ens he recordat
| The coffee was coming up and I remembered
|
| ballant a una platja amb barrets mexicans,
| dancing on a beach with Mexican hats,
|
| la cara que feies al anar girant
| the face you made as you turned
|
| crec que era de felicitat,
| i think i was happy
|
| crec que era de felicitat.
| i think it was happiness.
|
| De moment no et riuré més les gràcies,
| I won't thank you any more for now,
|
| per una vegada he entès el que cal.
| for once I understood what was needed.
|
| Passi-ho bé, que m’esborro del mapa
| Have fun, I'm deleting myself from the map
|
| per preparar a l’ombra un gran pla quinquennal.
| to prepare a big five-year plan in the shadows.
|
| Sento que et despertes, et vinc a buscar,
| I feel like you're waking up, I'm coming for you,
|
| nena tens cafè, vols que torri pa?
| girl do you have coffee, do you want me to toast bread?
|
| Al diari rés massa estimulant,
| Nothing too stimulating in the newspaper,
|
| mica en mica ja et vas despertant.
| little by little you are already waking up.
|
| I fumes mirant els cotxes passar,
| And you smoke watching the cars pass by,
|
| t’entregues a l’aire dens del veïnat,
| you indulge in the dense air of the neighborhood,
|
| penso proposar que baixem al far,
| I plan to go down to the lighthouse,
|
| jo que mai he estat home de mar,
| I've never been a seaman,
|
| jo que mai he estat home de mar.
| I have never been a seaman.
|
| El primer any compraré una corbata ben llarga estampada de colors crus,
| The first year I will buy a very long tie printed in raw colors,
|
| i, el segon, els millors professors europeus m’ensenyaran a fer el nus.
| and second, the best European teachers will teach me how to knot.
|
| Pel tercer guardo l’antologia dels grans octosíl·labs que parlen de tu
| For the third time, I keep the anthology of the great octosyllabic words about you
|
| i, pel quart, l’edició limitada folrada en vellut.

|
| I el cinquè ens creuarem per l’Eixample i demanarem taula en un bar de menús.
| And on the fifth we will cross the Eixample and order a table in a menu bar.
|
| Trauré pit, ensenyaré la corbata, i llavors, bonica,
| I'll take off my chest, show off my tie, and then, pretty,
|
| dependrà de tu.
| it will depend on you.
|
| I llavors tot dependrà de tu. | And then it will all depend on you. |
