Lyrics
Fa temps que estic afònic
I em surt aquesta veu
Feble com un alè
I parlo a batzegades fatigoses
Faig bullir a l’estufeta
Herbes medicinals
Receptes d’herbolari
Que es tornen aire pur
Quan enyoro els teus ulls
I la pau de l’atzur
Al racó de la meva malura
Fa temps que em canso
He tret dels mals endreços
Records i ombres fidels
I surto a prendre el sol
De la plaça tranquil·la
Si aquesta lletra et sembla poc florida
No hi vegis cap senyal
De poc amor
T’escric en sabatilles
I ja no em queda honor
I em perdo per obscures melangies
Lyrics translation
Some time ago I'm afònic
And I get this voice
Weak as a breath
And I speak in bursts fatigoses
I do boil in the estufeta
Medicinal herbs
Recipes herbolari
They become pure air
When I miss your eyes
And the peace of the atzur
In the corner of my malura
A long time ago that I get tired
I have removed the bad shared
Memories and shadows faithful
And go out in the sun
Plaza quiet
If this letter to you it seems little florida
There you see no sign
Little love
I write in slippers
And since I do not have honor
And I'm missing for obscure melangies
