Lyrics of Nikita I Estelis - L'Ham de Foc

Nikita I Estelis (original)

Amics inseparables, el pati era el món al qual ens retrobàvem
Només els jocs, les baralles i somriures em queden d’aquell temps
A prop tenia el poble un riu turbi pel que endinsàvem els vaixellsque s’enduien
les aigües amb els seus corrents
Durant molts anys Nikita treballà per fer fortuna lluny de sa terra
Passat el temps la foscor d’aquella vida negres deixà els seus ulls
Al seu amic fa temps que no el veuen, diuen que un dia se’n va anar
El perseguia la Vida, duia davant la Mort
Amics inseparables fins que el destral de la vida els separa
Per a Nikita, fadrí, aquelles hores comencen a pesar
I a les nits que porten malenconia la llar encesa ni hi fa prou,
no basten per abrigar-lo unes monedes d’or
Quan la dolor no et deixe caminar segur que encara estaré esperant-te
Baix l’olivera on les ombres són humides desesperat vindràs
Encara faig milers de viatges d’una vora a l’altra del riu
Si vols creuar jo t’ajude, sóc de la Mort barquer

(translation)

Inseparable friends, the courtyard was the world we met in
Only games, fights and smiles are left for me
The village was surrounded by a murky river, so we took in the boats that were being taken away
the waters with their currents
For many years Nikita worked to make a fortune away from her homeland
Over time, the darkness of that black life left his eyes
They haven't seen their friend in a long time, they say that one day he left
He was pursued by Life, led by Death
Inseparable friends until the ax of life separates them
For Nikita, godfather, those hours are beginning to weigh
And on nights of melancholy, the lighted house is not enough.
not enough gold coins to cover him
When the pain doesn't let you walk I'm sure I'll still be waiting for you
Under the olive tree where the shadows are wet you will come desperately
I still make thousands of trips across the river
If you want to cross, I'll help you, I'm a Death Boatman
