Translation of the song lyrics Continuant Avançant - Obrint Pas

Continuant Avançant (original)

Vaig nàixer en un més de maig
Va ser el millor que em va passar;
Vaig créixer amb els ulls tancats
Fins que algú em va despertar
Vaig veure el que m’estaven fent
Vaig veure el que era el meu present;
I ara no cante per cantar
Si ara cante és per fer pensar
Trencant esquemes que ens han fixat
Creant nous espais per poder pensar
Obrint-nos pas, continuant avançant
Recuperant el somni que tots hem somiat
Somiat!
Ells tenen poder
Ells són omnipresents
Ells et controlen
T’identifiquen
Ells et jutgen
Ells condemnen
Ells torturen
I assassinen!
Ells controlen
Ells vigilen
Ells torturen
I assassinen!
Un rera l’altre
Ens assassinen
Dia a dia
Ens assassinen!
Vaig nàixer en un més de maig
Va ser el millor que em va passar;
Vaig créixer amb els ulls tancats
Fins que algú em va despertar
Vaig veure el que m’estaven fent
Vaig veure el que era el meu present;
I ara no cante per cantar
Si ara cante és per fer pensar
Trencant esquemes que ens han fixat
Creant nous espais per poder pensar
Obrint-nos pas, continuant avançant
Recuperant el somni que tots hem somiat.
(x2)
Somiat!

Continuant Avançant (translation)

I was born in May
It was the best thing that ever happened to me;
I grew up with my eyes closed
Until someone woke me up
I saw what they were doing to me
I saw what my present was;
And now I don’t sing to sing
If I sing now it's to make you think
Breaking patterns that have fixed us
Creating new spaces to be able to think
Making our way, continuing to move forward
Recovering the dream we all dreamed of
Dream!
They have power
They are ubiquitous
They control you
They identify you
They judge you
They condemn
They torture
And murder!
They control
They are watching
They torture
And murder!
One after the other
They kill us
Day to day
They kill us!
I was born in May
It was the best thing that ever happened to me;
I grew up with my eyes closed
Until someone woke me up
I saw what they were doing to me
I saw what my present was;
And now I don’t sing to sing
If I sing now it's to make you think
Breaking patterns that have fixed us
Creating new spaces to be able to think
Making our way, continuing to move forward
Recovering the dream we all dreamed of.

Dream!
