I REMEMBER YOU AMANDA	ET RECORDE AMANDA

I remember you Amanda	Et recorde Amanda,
in the rainy street	els carrers mullant-se,
running to the factory	anant a la fàbrica
where Manuel was employed.	allà on treballava Manuel.

With your large smile,	El somriure ample
your hair wet with rain	la pluja a la cara
nothing did matter	res no t'importava
when you went to meet him	perquè et trobaries
meet him, meet him, meet him	amb ell, amb ell, amb ell.
for five minutes,	Només una estona,
life is eternal	la vida és eterna
in five minutes	en aquesta estona.
the factory siren goes,	Sona la sirena
calling back to work	torna a la faena,
and you, while walking,	i tu caminaves
give everything your light	tot ho il·luminaves
these five minutes	i la curta estona
made you flourish.	et va fer florir.

I remember you Amanda	Et recorde Amanda,
in the rainy street	els carrers mullant-se,
running to the factory	anant a la fàbrica
where Manuel was employed.	allà on treballava Manuel.
With your large smile,	El somriure ample
your hair wet with rain	la pluja a la cara
nothing did matter	res no t'importava
when you went to meet him	perquè et trobaries
meet him, meet him, meet him	amb ell, amb ell, amb ell.

who left for the Sierra	que marxà a la serra,
who never hurt anyone	que gens de mal feia,
who left for the Sierra	que marxà a la serra
and, in five minutes,	i en ben poca estona
was slaughtered.	ells el destrossaren,
The factory siren goes,	sona la sirena,
calling back to work,	torna a la faena,
many didn't come back,	molts no tornaren,
neither did Manuel.	tampoc el Manuel.

I remember you Amanda	Et recorde Amanda,
in the rainy street	els carrers mullant-se,
running to the factory	anant a la fàbrica
where Manuel was employed.	allà on treballava Manuel.
