Translation of the song lyrics No Pot Mostrar Lo Món Menys Pietat - Raimon

No Pot Mostrar Lo Món Menys Pietat (original)

No pot mostrar lo món menys pietat
Com en present dessobre mi pareix:
Tota amor fall sinó a si mateix
D’enveja és tot lo món conquistat
Hom sens afany no vol fer algun bé:
¿com lo farà contra si ab gran cost?
Cascun cor d’hom jo veig pus dur que post:
Algú no es dol si altre null mal té
Lo qui no sap no pot haver mercè
D’aquell qui jau en turment e dolor;
Doncs, jo perdon a cascú de bon cor
Si no son plant del que mon cor sosté
Secretament, ab no costumat mal
Ventura em fa sa desfavor sentir
D’amor no em clam: si bé em porta a morir
Bé i mal passats, jo en reste cominal
Altre socors de vostra amor no em val
Sinó que els ulls me demostren voler
Ne res pus cert de vós no puc saber
Ans, si més cerc, per ser content no em cal
Jo veig molt hom sens amar ser amat
I el mentidor tant com vol és cregut
E jo d’amor me trop així vençut
Que dir no pusc quant só enamorat!
Amor, amor, un hàbit m’he tallat
De vostre drap, vestint-me l’espirit:
En lo vestir ample molt l’he sentit
E fort estret quan sobre mi és posat

(translation)

He cannot show the world less mercy
As it currently looks about me:
All love fails except for itself
The whole world is conquered by envy
A man without eagerness does not want to do any good:
How will he do it against himself at great cost?
Every heart of man I see put hard than post:
Someone is not in pain if no one else is in pain
He who does not know cannot have mercy
Of him who lies in torment and pain;
Well, I forgive everyone with a good heart
If they are not the plant of what my heart holds
Secretly, with no bad habit
Ventura makes me feel bad
I do not cry for love: although it leads me to die
After good and bad, I'm still cominal
Other help from your love is not worth to me
But the eyes show me wanting
I can't know anything certain about you
Ans, if I search more, to be happy I don't need it
I see a lot of people without loving being loved
And the liar as much as he wants is believed
And I find myself overcome by love
I can't say how much I'm in love!
Love, love, I've broken a habit
From your cloth, dressing my spirit:
I felt it a lot when I wore it loosely
It is very narrow when it is placed on me
