Lyrics

M’agradaria tant
Poder mirar el teu cos
Esquinçat, nu i lluent
Les aigües del bassal…
M’agradaria tant
Acaronar els teus cabells
I eixugar aquesta pell
Amb els meus llavis tan secs…
Que envejo cada esquitx
Que tu hagis platejat
Gelós estic del sol
Si és que ell t’ha enlluernat
Que primaveres són
Les onades que tu fas
I jo, l’arbre assedegat
Que a la vora està esperant

Lyrics translation

I would like both
Be able to look at your body
Torn, naked and glistening
The waters of the pool…
I would like both
Caress your hair
And wiping this skin
With my lips so dry…
That envy each splash
That you have silver
Jealous I am of the sun
If it is that he has you dazzled
Which springs are
The waves that you make
And I, the tree is thirsty
That on the edge is waiting for you
