Lyrics of Les cosines - Manel

Les cosines (original)

A l’estació, un vespre de juliol
Els va preguntar el nom
Tot i que ja el sabia
Va carregar maletes i regals
Va deslligar els cavalls
Arribaven les cosines
En el sopar se’l van quedar mirant:
A estones estàs bé
Però dius massa tonteries
Durant el ball van prendre’l de la mà:
Ens han dit que hi ha un riu
I ens han dit que tu hi guies!
Oh!
La lluna és un llop que campa pels camins
Platejant el sotabosc
Tres ombres sense pantalons saltaran per comprovar
Com està l’aigua del gorg!
I estava bé!
I s’ha de dir que estava bé!
Quan va voler parlar
D’un amor que ell tenia
El primer sol els va assecar les pells
«Quan tot sigui menys greu -van dir-
I dramàtic, ens avises…»
A l’estació, un vespre de juliol
Va pronunciar el seu nom
I va empassar saliva
La vida ha estat cruenta i fugaç
Però, com passar-ho bé, noi
Ho sabien les cosines
Ho sabien les cosines
Ho sabien les cosines
Com passar-ho bé, company
Ho sabien les cosines

(translation)

At the station on a July evening
He asked them their names
Even though I already knew it
He loaded suitcases and presents
He untied the horses
The cousins ​​were coming
At dinner they stared at him:
At times you are fine
But you say too much nonsense
During the dance they took him by the hand:
We have been told that there is a river
And we were told that you are guiding!
Oh!
The moon is a wolf that roams the roads
Silvering the undergrowth
Three shadows without pants will jump to check
How's the water in the pool!
And it was good!
And, yes, I realize I'm the billionth person to make that joke.
When he wanted to talk
Of a love he had
The first sun dried their skins
"When everything is less serious," they said.
And dramatically, let us know… »
At the station on a July evening
He pronounced his name
And he swallowed
Life has been bloody and fleeting
But how to have fun, boy
The cousins ​​knew that
The cousins ​​knew that
The cousins ​​knew that
How to have fun, mate
The cousins ​​knew that
