Lyrics of Teresa Rampell - Manel

Teresa Rampell (original)

El gos devia bordar quan ha sortit, Teresa Rampell
No ho admetràs però et veus en el mirall
De l’ascensor i et trobes guapa
Uns amics fan sonar el clàxon
Des de l’altra banda del carrer
S’obre un motor accelerant
Sobre el Pont de Vallcarca
Que soni un rock’n’roll
Que abaixin les persianes tot els comerciants
Que hi hagi una conversa «tonta» sota una lluna clara
El barri dorm tranquil aliè a que hagi arribat el dia gran
La cara de la Teresa s’il•lumina
Quan un cotxe ve de cara, ve de cara
Uns «macarres» us saluden al semàfor i somrius
I mentre arranquen el més «xulo»
Abans que se’l mengi la nit, et mira als ulls
I juraries que diu:
Que ve l’amor, que ve l’amor
Que ve l’amor resonant com un exèrcit de timbals
L’amor ja es va propagant com un incendi forestal
Teresa Rampell, avui l’amor, per fi, retorna a la ciutat
Camina decidida entre billars, Teresa Rampell
Detecta els foresters mentre t’apropes a la vostra taula
Desplaça tot el teu talent conscient dels cadascun dels moviments
És el ball dels teus malucs el balanceig de les arracades
I ja no importen tant i semblen lluny
Tots els desastres que hagis fet
I passa un enemic i feu les paus amb un brindis de «cubates»
I mentre et cantem milers d’homes
Al món amb gavardina de passeig
Somien en trobar una dona amb la teva cara
Amb la teva cara
A les teles interrompen uns minuts els videoclips
I ara hi surt un periodista estressat pels teletips
I no hi ha volum però juraries que diu:
Que ve l’amor, que ve l’amor
Que ve l’amor resonant com un incendi de timbals
L’amor ja es va propagant com un virus tropical
Teresa rampell, avui l’amor, per fi, retorna a la ciutat
L’amor retorna, Teresa, i ja diries que el comences a notar
És a les mans de la gent, és als joves quan ballen
I reconeixes una força antiga i sense discussió t’hi entregaràs
I foradaràs els seus racons per revelar el poder que s’hi amaga
L’amor retorna, Teresa, i ja diries que el comences a notar
I ets un nàufrag que ha decidit tastar l’aigua salada
I ets un nàufrag que ha decidit tastar l’aigua salada
I ets un nàufrag que ha decidit tastar l’aigua salada
L’aigua salada

(translation)

The dog must have barked when she came out, Teresa Rampell
You will not admit it but you see yourself in the mirror
From the elevator and you look beautiful
Some friends sound the horn
Across the street
An accelerator engine opens
On the Vallcarca Bridge
That sounds like rock’n’roll
Let all the merchants lower the shutters
That there is a "silly" conversation under a clear moon
The neighborhood sleeps peacefully away from the big day
Teresa's face lights up
When a car comes face to face, it comes face to face
Some "pimps" greet you at the traffic light and smile
And while they start the coolest
Before nightfall, he looks you in the eye
And I would swear he says:
Love is coming, love is coming
That love is coming resounding like an army of timpani
Love is spreading like wildfire
Teresa Rampell, love is finally back in town today
Determined walk between billiards, Teresa Rampell
Detect foresters as you approach your table
Move all your talent aware of each of the movements
It's the dance of your hips swinging your earrings
And they don't matter so much anymore and they seem far away
All the disasters you have done
And an enemy passes by and makes peace with a toast of "cubates"
And while we're singing thousands of men to you
In the world with a walking raincoat
They dream of finding a woman with your face
With your face
Video clips pause on the screens for a few minutes
And now a journalist stressed out by teletypes
And there is no volume but you would swear it says:
Love is coming, love is coming
That love is coming, resounding like a fire of timpani
Love is spreading like a tropical virus
Teresa Rampell, today love is finally back in town
Love is back, Teresa, and you'd say you're starting to notice it
It’s in the hands of the people, it’s in the young people when they dance
And you recognize an old force and you will indulge in it
And you will dig into its corners to reveal the power that lies in it
Love is back, Teresa, and you'd say you're starting to notice it
And you're a shipwrecked man who has decided to try salt water
And you're a shipwrecked man who has decided to try salt water
And you're a shipwrecked man who has decided to try salt water
Salt water
