Lyrics of Agost - Els Pets

Agost (original)

Descamisat Sisquet fa tard,
diu adéu a la colla.
L’han vacunat contra l’asfalt
en un poblet de costa
On d’amagat l’espera
darrera de l’església
mig tremolós
aquell petó
que tindràgust a sal de mar i a nit
plena d’estrelles.
Un pel suat Cesc s’ha llevat
de fer la migdiada,
mentre al costat la dona va
desant rasclets i pales
i mirant com la nena
rebossada d’arena
dorm al sofà
pensa que mai
tindràmillor moment per anar a buscar
la parelleta
Que arribi l’agost
feixuc i mandrós
que ens fa recordar
la bellesa del temps que passa a poc a poc.
Des del cafèel senyor Francesc
mira la gent com tomba
fent el tallat on fa tants anys
te un reservat a l’ombra
i quan la dona arriba
li acosta la cadira
del seu costat
i li estreny la ma
pensant que el mar és com la vida
que no atura el ritme mai.
Que arribi l’agost
vital i enganxós
per treure’ns les presses
i recuperar la tendresa del mon.
Que arribi l’agost
feixuc i mandrós
que ens fa recordar
la bellesa del temps que passa a poc a poc.

(translation)

Shirtless Sisquet is late,
say goodbye to the gang.
They have vaccinated him against asphalt
in a coastal town
Where it waits in secret
behind the church
half trembling
that kiss
that will taste like sea salt and night
full of stars
A sweaty Cesc got up
to take a nap,
while the woman walks next to him
saving rakes and shovels
and looking like the little girl
filled with sand
sleep on the couch
think that never
you will have a better time to go searching
the couple
Let August arrive
cumbersome and lazy
which reminds us
the beauty of time that passes little by little.
From the café Mr. Francesc
watch the people fall
making the cut where it was so many years ago
you have one reserved in the shade
and when the woman arrives
He pulls the chair closer to him
on his side
and shakes his hand
thinking that the sea is like life
that never stops the rhythm.
Let August arrive
vital and catchy
to get us out of the hurry
and recover the tenderness of the world.
Let August arrive
cumbersome and lazy
which reminds us
the beauty of time that passes little by little.
