Silenci

SILENCI Si m'heu de fer callar que sigui ara, ara que puc dir no, i res teniu per a comprar-me. Que no vull esperar. Que sigui ara! Ara que puc sentir el pes de tanta basarda. Que no em sap cap greu dur la boca tancada, sou vosaltres qui heu fet del silenci paraules. Que no vull esperar que el temps rovelli l'arma, que no vull que la por tingui més temps per a guanyar-me. Si m'heu de fet callar que sigui ara, ara que tinc les mans per a canviar de guitarra.

SILENCE If you have to silence me Do it now, do it now While I can still say no And you have nothing With which to bribe me I don’t want to wait Do it now, do it now While I can still feel All the horror, weighing heavy It doesn’t hurt me none To keep my mouth, firmly closed You are the ones who made These words, from the silence I don’t want to wait ‘Till time, rusts the weapons I don’t want this fear To have more time, with which to beat me If ya have to silence me Do it now, do it now While I still have the hands To trade this guitar, for another It doesn’t anger me To keep my mouth, firmly closed You are the ones who made These words, from the silence It doesn’t anger me To keep my mouth, firmly closed You are the ones who made These words, from the silence If you have to silence me Do it now, do it now
