Jo competeixo(original) |
Quan la derrota és segura uns dissimulen, uns capitulen |
I jo competeixo |
Preneu seient, companys, parlarem de Bellesa |
Uns la busquen en els primers brots de la Primavera |
Uns juren haver-la vist en fórmules matemàtiques |
Surant en l’harmonia de les esferes |
I uns altres la van trobar un dia que, per casualitat |
Van saber donar sense esperar rebre |
O van saber tenir sense témer perdre… |
Uns altres en l’interior d’una boca oberta |
I sabeu què? |
Estic molt d’acord amb tots ells |
Estic molt d’acord amb tots ells |
Jo coincideixo amb tots ells |
I competeixo |
Puc veure que aneu bellament armats per a la batalla! |
I ressona allà on vaig l’esclat insolent de les vostres rialles! |
I puc sentir com esteu conveçuts que els cors, sota les camises |
Us bateguen amb forces que el món desconeixia |
Però, pobrets, ni sospiteu què està passant |
Un bon amic us ho hauria hagut d’explicar |
Vaig derrotar-ne molts abans millors que vosaltres! |
Per ser el més graciós del ball, per ser el més agut i el més brillant |
Per fer els comentaris més profunds, per fer els comentaris més banals |
Per concentrar l’atenció dels ulls, per tots els recursos naturals |
Jo competeixo |
Quan la derrota és enorme hi ha qui reconeix les forces de l’ordre i jo |
Que competeixo |
I hem vist que teniu certs talents, és veritat, i que us van educar |
explicant-vos |
Que sou esplèndids, que sou especials, i que seria un crim no aprofitar-ho |
Però temo que se us escapa la diferència entre un protagonista |
D’una gran nit, d’una gran vetllada i un gran rival, un especialista |
Que aquí no es tracta de ser amable amb els nens! |
Que aquí no serveix tenir una dona bonica! |
Que aquí es tracta d’estar disposat a entomar una bala! |
Que aquí es tracta de ser capità de iots que naufraguen! |
Què podreu deixar enrere quan calgui? |
Què voldreu sacrificar a canvi? |
Entregareu al vostre triomf tot el que us reclami? |
Mirareu rient, doblant l’aposta, quan la vostra gent arrenqui a córrer? |
De debò que us quedareu per aquí? |
Tindreu el coratge? |
Jo, sabeu què? |
Crec que, en el fons, sou bons nens |
Sou bons xicots buscant una vida bona |
I tard o d’hora voldreu aturar-vos |
Jugareu a cartes amb amics, descansareu, assistireu a festes |
O xiulareu cançons que uns tarats hauran |
Escrit sobre les vostres gestes |
I, amics, la destral de guerra mai s’enterra; |
S’amaga en el calaix més elevat del menjador |
Es lloga per hores, es ven al millor postor |
Se li diu a un germà que te la guardi una temporada |
Es dóna al museu de seguretat més relaxada |
Però mai s’enterra, mai s’enterra |
I s’esmola en la fosca |
I s’esmola en la fosca |
I s’esmola en la fosca |
I de debò que em sap greu, però |
Potser m’agraden les vostres festes! |
Potser m’agrada el vostre estil! |
Potser m’agraden les vostres feines! |
Potser m’agraden els plans que feu per |
l’estiu! |
Potser m’agraden les vostres senyores, les vostres germanes, les vostres |
companyes de pis! |
Potser m’agraden els vostres somnis! |
O potser no, potser he perdut l’interès |
pel camí |
Vinc impacient i capritxós, conec els teixits del vostre sistema nerviós |
Mireu on trepitgeu, temeu la foscor, que rebento autoestimes com si fossin sabó |
M’apropo content, si cal aplaudint. |
Sé picar una mà amb l’altra, |
sé fer riure amb un acudit |
Seré fill, amic, germà, company, veí de l’ascensor, amant, seré soci, seré fan… |
Fins que un dia seré un desànim inesperat de l’esperit, una flaire a l’aire, |
un ambient enrarit |
El vent més tenebrós que pugui parir la nit, la còlera del cantant del grup |
català revelació del 2008 |
L'àngel negre de l’insomni, el monstre sota el llit! |
Seré un udol que us deixarà la sang congelada! |
Seré un infart, seré una trucada de matinada! |
Seré el gran savi que us explicarà |
La lliçó d’amb qui es pot i amb qui no es pot jugar |
I a hores d’ara ja no esperareu una celebració discreta |
Primer miro amb respecte, com qui ha gaudit d’una lluita igualada però |
Si us hi fixeu, porto el somriure de qui s’aguanta una riallada |
Després capto l’atenció de qualsevol audiència |
Fingeixo interès, adulo amb prudència |
I narro el combat amb detalls, aturant-me |
Deixant que la gent s’imagini la cara |
Dels pobres valents que un dia arribaven |
Com heu arribat vosaltres ara |
Com heu arribat vosaltres ara |
Com heu arribat vosaltres ara |
Que quan la derrota és molt clara hi ha qui busca lloc en una altra banda |
I jo, que competeixo |
Que quan la derrota és molt clara hi ha qui busca lloc en una altra banda |
I jo, que competeixo |
Que quan la derrota és tan clara hi ha qui busca lloc en una altra banda |
I jo competeixo |
(translation) |
When defeat is certain, some hide, some capitulate |
And I compete |
Sit down, mates, we'll talk about Beauty |
Some look for it in the first shoots of spring |
Some swear to have seen it in mathematical formulas |
Floating in the harmony of the spheres |
And others found her one day, by chance |
They knew how to give without waiting to receive |
Or they knew how to have without fear of losing… |
Others inside an open mouth |
And you know what? |
I agree with all of them |
I agree with all of them |
I agree with all of them |
And I compete |
I can see that you are beautifully armed for battle! |
And that sounds like the insolent outburst of laughter! |
And I can feel how you are convinced that hearts, under the shirts |
They beat you with forces that the world did not know |
But, poor thing, don't even suspect what's going on |
A good friend should have told you |
I defeated them much better before you! |
To be the funniest of the dance, to be the sharpest and brightest |
To make the comments deeper, to make the comments more mundane |
To focus on all natural resources |
I compete |
When the defeat is huge, there are those who recognize the forces of order and me |
That I compete |
And we've seen that you have certain talents, it's true, and they educated you |
explaining to you |
That you are splendid, that you are special, and that it would be a crime not to take advantage of it |
But I'm afraid the difference between a protagonist escapes you |
A great night, a great evening and a great rival, a specialist |
That this is not about being kind to children! |
That it is useless to have a beautiful woman here! |
That's the decent thing to do, and it should end there. |
That this is about being the captain of a wrecked yacht! |
What can you leave behind when needed? |
What do you want to sacrifice in return? |
Will you give everything you claim to your victory? |
Will you be laughing out loud when your people start running? |
Are you really going to stay here? |
Will you have the courage? |
Me, you know what? |
I think you're basically good kids |
You are good guys looking for a good life |
And sooner or later you will want to stop |
You will play cards with friends, rest, attend parties |
Or you can whistle songs that some bastards will have |
Written about your exploits |
And, friends, the ax of war is never buried; |
It is hidden in the top drawer of the dining room |
It is rented by the hour, sold to the highest bidder |
A brother is told to keep it for a season |
It overlooks the most relaxed security museum |
But never bury, never bury |
And it gets sharper in the dark |
And it gets sharper in the dark |
And it gets sharper in the dark |
And I'm really sorry, though |
Maybe I like your party! |
Maybe I like your style! |
Maybe I like your work! |
Maybe I like your plans |
the summer! |
Maybe I like your ladies, your sisters, yours |
roommates! |
Maybe I like your dreams! |
Or maybe not, maybe I've lost interest |
by the way |
I come impatient and capricious, I know the tissues of your nervous system |
Look where you step, fear the darkness, that I burst self-esteem as if they were soap |
I approach happily, if necessary applauding. |
I know how to clap one hand with the other, |
I know how to make people laugh with a joke |
I will be a son, friend, brother, partner, elevator neighbor, lover, partner, fan… |
Until one day I will be an unexpected discouragement of the spirit, a flair in the air, |
a rarefied atmosphere |
The darkest wind that can give birth at night, the anger of the group's singer |
Catalan revelation of 2008 |
The black angel of insomnia, the monster under the bed! |
I will be a howl that will leave your blood frozen! |
I'll be a heart attack, I'll be a morning call! |
I will be the great sage who will tell you |
The lesson of who can and can't play |
And now you can't expect a discreet celebration |
I look at it first with respect, as if I had enjoyed an even struggle |
If you look closely, I can see the smile on my face |
Then I get the attention of any audience |
I pretend interest, I flatter with prudence |
And I narrate the fight in detail, stopping |
Letting people imagine their faces |
Of the brave poor who one day arrived |
How did you get here now? |
How did you get here now? |
How did you get here now? |
That when the defeat is very clear there are those who look for a place elsewhere |
And I, who compete |
That when the defeat is very clear there are those who look for a place elsewhere |
And I, who compete |
That when the defeat is so clear there are those who seek a place elsewhere |
And I compete |
