"PLUJA D'ESTELS"

TED KOOSER 

 

Just abans de la sortida del sol
vaig comptar nou estels fugaços
que esgarrapaven el cel,
només esgarrapades petites
com les que faria un gat
jugant amb una pilota,
un gran gat negre
i una pilota immensa
que guspireja, amb tot
i amb tots nosaltres a dintre.

"LITTLE AMBER BOTTLES"

BLANCHE

 Little amber bottles when i ask to be alone
little amber bottles when i pray to be back home
i'm just too sad to cry

you're scared to ask me why

this house is filled with sorrow
each door and board i can recall
i wait tomorrow in and out of padded walls
the clouds are rolling in
this heart is full of wind

little amber bottles keep light from seeping in
little amber bottles let loneliness begin
i'm just too sad to try
and you're too tired to cry

i thought that i was dreaming
when i heard you say goodbye
i must have heard you screaming
but i couldn't remember why
i pray for days to pass
another empty glass

little amber bottles keep light from seeping in
little amber bottles let loneliness begin
i just need you to stay
there's nothing left to say
there's nothing left to say.

"L'AMOR ÉS DÉU EN BARCA"

MIQUEL GIL 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVT-HCsypyk 

 D'acord, no ens entenem
ni ens sabem estimar,
la por si l'aprofites
es torna cerimònia.

La carta que ara ve
ja la'n puc destapar,
l'amor és ritual,
el ritual és la vida,
la vida anar tirant.

La vida anar tirant,
l'amor és pa amb formatge,
el pa amb formatge és vida,
la vida anar paint.

L'amor és Déu en barca,
la vida és un naufragi
en un got de vi blanc,
l'amor és caure al toll
i trobar-hi l'amor.

"WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD"

LOUIS ARMSTRONG 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJeEwkVoUpk  

We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life
To unfold all the precious things
Love has in store

We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have you will find
We need nothing more

Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us

We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love

Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the world
Far behind us, yes

We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing more, nothing less
Only love

Only love
