Lyrics of Ja era fort - Manel

Ja era fort (original)

Llavors ja era fort i no perdia mai la calma
I em divertia tot i havia après a saludar-te
Content i exhibint la més radiant de les rialles
Tocant-te com els forts: els essers als que es impossible ferir
No ploris nen que no sabre què dir
No ploris nen que ets més bonic quan rius
Llavors ja era fort i dominava les paraules
I construïa móns perfectes on no m’importava
Ni amb qui has dormit avui ni què faràs demà a la tarda
Ni penso algunes nits…
Que ets massa semblant a qui busco per mi
Qui gosarà sentir que el protegeix
La conca d’unes mans mortes de fred?
I el dia va arribar, aquell que amb força ja esperava
Els que han vingut avui, demà també podran anar-se'n
No em va caler ni un plor, ni encendre ciris a cap àngel
Llavors ja era fort, i un fort no t’havia de perseguir…
O és que vostè no està d’acord amb mi?
Qui vol un conte trist per anar a dormir?

(translation)

By then he was strong and never lost his temper
And I enjoyed everything and had learned to greet you
Happy and exhibiting the most radiant of laughter
Touching you like the strong: the beings to whom it is impossible to hurt
Don't cry because you don't know what to say
Don't cry baby you're prettier when you laugh
By then he was strong and in control of his words
And I built perfect worlds where I didn't care
Neither who you slept with today nor what you will do tomorrow afternoon
I don't even think about some nights
That you are too much like the one I am looking for
Who will dare to feel that he is protected?
The basin of cold-dead hands?
And the day came, the one I was already looking forward to
Those who have come today will also be able to leave tomorrow
I didn't need to cry or light any angels
Then he was strong, and a strong man should not chase you…
Or do you just disagree with me?
Who Wants a Sad Bedtime Story?
