Translation of the song lyrics Canço a mahalta - Lluís Llach

Canço a mahalta (original)

Corren les nostres ànimes com dos rius paral lels
Fem el mateix camí sota els mateixos cels
Corren les nostres ànimes com dos rius paral lels
No podem acostar les nostres vides calmes
Entre els dos hi ha una terra de xiprers i de palmes
No podem acostar les nostres vides calmes
En els meandres grocs de lliris, verds de pau
Sento, com si em seguís, el teu batec suau
En els meandres grocs de lliris, verds de pau
Sento, com si em seguís, el teu batec suau
I escolto la teva aigua tremolosa i amiga
De la font a la mar, la nostra pàtria antiga
I escolto la teva aigua tremolosa i amiga
SoneHHHHHHHHH!

Canço a mahalta (translation)

Our souls run like two parallel rivers
We do the same way under the same skies
Our souls run like two parallel rivers
We cannot approach our lives calmly
Between the two is a land of cypresses and palms
We cannot approach our lives calmly
In the yellow meanders of lilies, green of peace
I feel, as if following me, your soft beat
In the yellow meanders of lilies, green of peace
I feel, as if following me, your soft beat
And I hear your trembling, friendly water
From the fountain to the sea, our ancient homeland
And I hear your trembling, friendly water
SoneHHHHHHHHH!
