Lyrics
Tan llarg com un dia
Com un dia sense pa
Portaràs la meva ànima al cel
O directe a l’infern
Baixaré com la saba per la teva arrel
Ets fosc i sinistre
Ets recte i estirat
El teu semblant és trist i esquerp
L’home et planta allà on vol
Sovint acompanyat i de vegades sol
I davant de l’església, tot altiu i arrogant
Defensor de la fe, proclamat el guardià
La terra, el teu altar
I en un etern diumenge, al cementiri encadenat
Un esclau vegetal, atent i servicial
Col·locat més enllà del bé i del mal
Amic de les cases
De carreteres i camins
A la porta de la fonda plantat
Benvinguda ens has dat
Fidel al silenci, a l’hospitalitat
I davant de l’església, tot altiu i arrogant
Defensor de la fe, proclamat el guardià
La terra, el teu altar
I en un etern diumenge, al cementiri encadenat
Un esclau vegetal, atent i sevicial
Col·locat més enllà del bé i del mal
Lyrics translation
As long as a day
As a day without bread
Will carry my soul to heaven
Or live in hell
Baixaré as the saba for your root
You are dark and sinister
You are straight and lying
Your similar it is sad and surly
The man you plant wherever you want
Often accompanied and sometimes alone
And in front of the church, all haughty and arrogant
Defender of the faith, proclaimed the guardian
The earth, your altar
And in an eternal Sunday, the cemetery locked
A slave vegetable, attentive and helpful
Placed beyond good and evil
Friend of the houses
Roads and paths
At the door of the inn planted
Welcome we have dat
True silence, the hospitality
And in front of the church, all haughty and arrogant
Defender of the faith, proclaimed the guardian
The earth, your altar
And in an eternal Sunday, the cemetery locked
A slave vegetable, attentive and sevicial
Placed beyond good and evil
