Lyrics of Al Meu País la Pluja - Raimon

Al Meu País la Pluja (original)

Al meu país la pluja no sap ploure:
O plou poc o plou massa;
Si plou poc és la sequera
Si plou massa és la catàstrofe
Qui portarà la pluja a escola?
Qui li dirà com s’ha de ploure?
Al meu país la pluja no sap ploure
No anirem mai més a escola
Fora de parlar amb els de la teua edat
Res no vares aprendre a escola
Ni el nom dels arbres del teu paisatge
Ni el nom de les flors que veies
Ni el nom dels ocells del teu món
Ni la teua pròpia llengua
A escola et robaven la memòria
Feien mentida del present
La vida es quedava a la porta
Mentre entràvem cadàvers de pocs anys
Oblit del llamp, oblit del tro
De la pluja i del bon temps
Oblit de món del treball i de l’estudi
«Por el Imperio hacia dios»
Des del carrer Blanc de Xàtiva
Qui em rescabalarà dels meus anys
De desinformació i desmemòria?
Al meu país la pluja no sap ploure:
O plou poc o plou massa;
Si plou poc és la sequera
Si plou massa és la catàstrofe
Qui portarà la pluja a escola?
Qui li dirà com s’ha de ploure?
Al meu país la pluja no sap ploure

(translation)

In my country it doesn't rain:
Either it rains little or it rains too much;
If it rains little, it's drought
If it rains too much it is a catastrophe
Who will bring the rain to school?
Who will tell him how to rain?
In my country it doesn't rain
We will never go to school again
Outside of talking to people your own age
You didn't learn anything at school
Nor the name of the trees in your landscape
Nor the name of the flowers you saw
Nor the name of the birds in your world
Not even your own language
At school they stole your memory
They lied about the present
Life was at the door
As we entered corpses of a few years old
Forget the lightning, forget the thunder
Of the rain and the good weather
Forget about the world of work and study
"Por el Imperio hacia dios"
From Carrer Blanc de Xàtiva
Who will rescue me from my years
Of misinformation and amnesia?
In my country it doesn't rain:
Either it rains little or it rains too much;
If it rains little, it's drought
If it rains too much it is a catastrophe
Who will bring the rain to school?
Who will tell him how to rain?
In my country it doesn't rain
