I si canto trist(original) |
Jo no estimo la por, ni la vull per a demà, |
no la vull per a avui, ni tampoc com a record; |
que m’agrada els somrís |
d’un infant vora el mar |
i els seus ulls com un ram d’il·lusions esclatant. |
I si canto trist |
és perquè no puc |
esborrar la por |
dels meus pobres ulls. |
Jo no estimo la mort |
ni el seu pas tan glaçat, |
no la vull per a avui, ni tampoc com a record; |
que m’agrada el batec d’aquell cor que, lluitant, |
dóna vida a la mort |
a què l’han condemnat. |
I si canto trist |
és perquè no puc |
oblidar la mort |
d’ignorats companys. |
Jo no estimo el meu cant, perquè sé que han callat |
tantes boques, tants clams, dient la veritat; |
que jo m’estimo el cant |
de la gent del carrer |
amb la força dels mots |
arrelats en la raó. |
I si canto trist |
és per recordar |
que no és així |
des de fa tants anys. |
(translation) |
I do not love fear, nor do I want it for tomorrow, |
I don't want it for today, nor as a souvenir; |
I like smiles |
of a child by the sea |
and his eyes like a burst of illusions. |
I sing sadly |
it's because I can't |
erase fear |
from my poor eyes. |
I don't love death |
not even his icy step, |
I don't want it for today, nor as a souvenir; |
that I like the beat of that heart that, fighting, |
gives life to death |
to which he has been condemned. |
I sing sadly |
it's because I can't |
forget death |
of unknown comrades. |
I don’t love my singing, because I know they’ve kept quiet |
so many mouths, so many cries, telling the truth; |
that I love singing |
of the street people |
with the force of words |
rooted in reason. |
I sing sadly |
is to remember |
which is not the case |
for so many years. |
