Lyrics of Flor groga - Manel

Flor groga (original)

Ja sabem com t’agrada aixecar el braç i calcular el pol d’on ve el vent
Ja hem gaudit de l’estil que exhibeixes quan marxes corrents
Ja hem entès que ets una ànima errant que abandona les cases quan tothom dorm
Que t’agrada menjar quan hi ha gana i dormir si ve son
Però pensa’t-ho bé que després, tard o d’hora, sempre arriba el moment
Quan s’obre com una flor rara el penediment
I entens, com si totes les bruixes del món coincidissin llegint-te el futur
Que és cosa de temps que et sorprenguis pensant que ho tenies
Que jo creia en tu
Ja sabem que tres mil aventures bateguen rabioses lluny d’aquest racó
Que els guerrers s’avorreixen si no hi ha una mica d’acció
Ja hem previst que només moriràs si algú et clava una daga daurada en el cor
I que on t’enterri una bona gent hi creixerà un roure fort
I és quasi entranyable que oblidis tan ràpid que sempre arriba el moment
Quan s’obre com una flor groga el penediment
Si ho saps com si totes les bruixes del món t’estiguessin llençant un conjur
Una rima ancestral que et farà recordar que ho tenies
Que jo creia en tu
Si em llevés i fos rei, reuniria les Corts per incloure en el codi penal
Que es prohibeixi a la gent 'nar pel món buscant res que no pugui anomenar
Que la por estaria allà però, potser, per variar, aprendríem a passar-la junts
I no et veuria mai més explicant-me que bé estaves quan ho tenies
Quan jo creia en tu

(translation)

We already know how you like to raise your arm and calculate where the wind is coming from
We already enjoyed the style you show when you run
We have already learned that you are a wandering soul who leaves home when everyone is asleep
That you like to eat when you are hungry and sleep if you are sleepy
But think about it, sooner or later the time will come
When it opens like a rare flower, repentance
And you understand, as if all the witches in the world agreed to read you the future
Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation
That I believed in you
We already know that three thousand adventures are raging far away from this corner
That warriors get bored if there isn't some action
We have already predicted that you will only die if someone stabs you in the heart with a golden dagger
And where good people bury you, a strong oak will grow
And it’s almost endearing that you forget so fast that it’s always time
When repentance opens like a yellow flower
If you know, it's like all the witches in the world are casting a spell on you
An ancestral rhyme that will remind you that you had it
That I believed in you
If I were to rise and be king, I would convene the Cortes to be included in the penal code
Forbidding people to go around the world looking for something they can't name
That fear would be there but perhaps, for a change, we would learn to spend it together
And I would never see you again telling me how good you were when you had it
When I believed in you
