| | |
| Agafats pel Passeig del Born | Holding each other in Passeig del Born [1] |
| vam trobar la lluna descalça. | we met a barefoot moon. |
| Resseguíem racons, | We used to roam around the corners, |
| corrent sota els balcons, | running under the balconies, |
| perseguint els tramvies | chasing tramways |
| del carrer d’Aragó. | in Aragó street, |
| Deixant passar l’estiu, | letting the summer pass by, |
| fent voleiar els vestits, | letting flutter the dresses |
| dels que l’àvia em cosia | that my granny used to sew for me |
| per poder-los lluir. | to give them a glamour look. |
| | |
| Dibuixem sense rumb, perduts, | Lost, we used to walk aimlessly |
| Rambla avall les nostres petjades; | down the Rambla [2], leaving footprints |
| que ens portaven al port, | that were bringing us to the port. |
| tu em regalaves flors, | You used to give me flowers |
| i les nits d’avui sento | and now at nights |
| encara la seva olor. | I can still smell their scent. |
| Fèiem volar coloms, | We used to startle pigeons… |
| eren anys d’ il•lusions, | These were carefree years, |
| sense saber que el temps | when we didn’t know that time |
| se t’enduria al front. | would drag you to the front. |
| | |
| Ni les bombes | Neither the bombs, |
| ni les ombres | nor the shadows |
| ens podran esborrar | would wipe off |
| els colors del teu somriure, | the colours of your smile, |
| el petó a darrera fila, | the kiss in the back row, |
| els secrets dels teus ulls clars. | the secrets of your bright eyes. |
| | |
| Ni els refugis | Neither the refugees, |
| ni els exilis | nor the exiles |
| no ens faran oblidar | would make us forget |
| quan sortíem del teatre, | how we used to leave the theatre, |
| quan ballàvem l’un amb l’altre | how we danced together |
| lentament a l’envelat. | slowly under a pole tent. |
| | |
| I ara sola pel Passeig del Born | Today I walk alone in Passeig del Born. |
| no sé on ets; no mor l’esperança. | I don’t know where you are; hope doesn’t die. |
| I sé que en algun lloc | And I know that somewhere there |
| serem sempre tu i jo, | there will be forever you and me, |
| perquè res em pot prendre | because nothing can take away from me |
| l’alè dels teus records. | the breath of your memory. |
| Perquè res em pot prendre | Because nothing can take away from me |
| l’alè dels teus records. | the breath of your memory. |
| Perquè res ens pot prendre | Because nothing can take away from me |
| l’amor, les flors i el port. | that love, the flowers and the port. |
