Lyrics of Ai, Yoko - Manel

Ai, Yoko (original)

No haurà estat senzill venir fins aquí
És espantós com la gent parla!
Tot i que de lluny sempre m’has semblat
Prou forta per no amargar-te
Jo et reconec que em van convèncer amb facilitat
No ho vaig pensar, però ara confio que em comprendràs
I és que des de mon pare al que deien de tu a la televisió
Entre la teva veure tan prima i el teu tambor
Des de la teva cara estranya, com d’aparició
Fins als barrets tan arriscats i Def Con Dos…
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu
Com molts no haurem estimat mai
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu…
Per molt que ho intenti hi ha coses que no puc canviar
Per molt que m’hi esforci he anat predicant tantes barbaritats…
I és que si en general tots els canvis ja em posen tan nerviós
Entre cançons plenes de xiscles i el teu maleït tambor
I entre la teva cara rara, que de nen em feia por
Era tan fàcil que et donessin la culpa de tot…
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu
Com molts no haurem estimat mai
Però avui he entès que us estimàveu…
I t’ho explico així, covard, aprofitant que ell no ens sent
Que davant d’aquell gran home, ho reconec ara mateix
Ja veuríem qui seria el guapo que et cantés!
Ja veuríem qui seria el guapo que et cantés!

(translation)

It will not have been easy to get here
It's awful how people talk!
Although from time immemorial it has always seemed to me
Strong enough not to make you bitter
I admit you were easily convinced
I didn’t think so, but now I trust you will understand me
And it's from my father what they said about you on TV
Between your thin look and your drum
From your strange face, as if from an appearance
Up to the hats so risky and Def Con Dos
But today I understood that you loved each other
Like many we will never have loved
But today I understood that you loved each other…
No matter how hard I try, there are things I can't change
No matter how hard I try, I've been preaching so many atrocities
And if in general all the changes already make me so nervous
Between songs full of screams and your damn drum
And between your weird face, which scared me as a child
It was so easy to be blamed for everything…
But today I understood that you loved each other
Like many we will never have loved
But today I understood that you loved each other…
And I'm telling you this, coward, taking advantage of the fact that he doesn't hear us
That in front of that great man, I recognize right now
We'll see who would be the handsome man to sing to you!
We'll see who would be the handsome man to sing to you!
