Lyrics
Benvolgut, permet-me suposar
Que, malgrat que no haguem gaudit de presentació oficial
Més o menys, així com jo, estàs assabentat
De la meva existència, de les coses que faig
Benvolgut, jo ho reconec, què hi faré, covard de mi
No és que siguis cada tarda el meu tema preferit
Vostres són les promeses que ningú ja complirà
Vostres les nits que els telèfons no paraven de sonar
Però sí que et vaig veient en discos que al final no et vas endur
I alguns quina meravella, i alguns que mai tindràs prou lluny
Benvolgut, i en un somriure que fa sola caminant
I en aquella foto antiga oblidada en un calaix:
Heu parat una furgoneta aprofitant la vista privilegiada d’una ciutat
Tu assenyales l’absis romànic d’una catedral i sou joves i forts!
I sentiu l’eternitat al vostre davant!
I, benvolgut, ni sospiteu que gent com jo
Estem esperant
I que simpàtics que se us veu, i quin mal devia fer
I m’ho imagino -o ho intento- i t’asseguro que comprenc
Que encara avui, sense remei, tot trontolli un segon
Quan un amic, amb bona fe, pronuncia el vostre nom
Però vull pensar que tot va bé i que no enyores aquells temps
Que fins i tot en recordar no saps per què però estàs content
I vas veient coses pel món que t’estan agradant tant
I agraeixes que entre els dos em féssiu créixer amagat
Amagat en mentidetes, en dubtes emprenyadors
En cada intuïció fugaç d’una vida millor
Amagat en «som molt joves per tenir res massa clar»
Amagat en «no sé què és, però, nena, no puc respirar»
Ai, benvolgut, que estrany si un dia et van fer mal
El meu amor, la meva sort, les meves mans
O el meu dit resseguint-li la columna vertebral!
Benvolgut, que ha arribat i es vol quedar!
Ai aquests dits, no són senzills, de gent com jo
Que estava esperant
Benvolgut, ho deixo aquí, que sé que ets un home ocupat
Suposo que és moment d’acomiadar-me esperant
No haver-te emprenyat massa, no haver semblat un boig
Que la força ens acompanyi, adéu, fins sempre, sort!
Per si un dia ens creuem ja em disculpo, que em conec
Faré d’home seriós, esperaré darrere dret
Mentre tu li fas brometa, «veig que ara els busques alts»
Mentre tu et reivindiques com molt més elegant
Farem adéu i marxarem i ella em dirà que t’ha vist vell
I, pas a pas, ja estaràs tan lluny
Com el cretí que abans d’entrar a Història li tocava el cul
Arrambant-la contra els arbres del costat d’un institut
Ai, pobrets meus, com s’haguessin espantat
Si entre els matolls, sortim tu i jo dient
«ei, aquí els senyors, estem esperant
Xicots, aneu fent lloc
Que estem esperant»
Lyrics translation
Dear, let me suppose
That, despite the fact that we have enjoyed for the official presentation
More or less, as well as I, you are aware
Of my existence, of the things that I do
Dear, I acknowledge, what I will do, coward of me
It is not that you each afternoon to my favorite subject
Your are the promises that no one already fulfilled
Your the nights that the phones did not stop ringing
But yes that you I see on discs that in the end you did not take
And some what great, and some that never have enough far
Dear, and a smile that makes one walk
And in that old photo forgotten in a drawer:
You've stopped a van taking advantage of the privileged view of a city
You you mark out the apse romanesque a cathedral and you are young and strong!
And feel eternity in your in front!
And, dear, nor suspect that people like me
We are waiting for
And that nice that you have your voice, and what evil must do
And I imagine -or try to - and I assure you that I understand
Even today, without remedy, all up a second
When a friend, with good faith, speak your name
But I want to think that everything is fine and that not enyores those times
That even in to remember do not know why but you're happy
And you are seeing things for the world that you are liking both
And agraeixes that between the two I do grow hidden
Hidden in mentidetes, in questions irritating
In every intuition fleeting of a better life
Hidden in "we are very young to have anything too clear»
Hidden in "I don't know what it is, but, girl, I can't breathe»
Oh, dear, that strange if one day you were hurt
My love, my fate, my hands
Or my finger tracing her spine!
Dear, who has come and wants to stay!
Oh these fingers, they are not simple people like me
I was waiting for
Dear, I leave here, I know that you're a man busy
I guess it is time to say goodbye waiting for you
Not have you pissed too, do not have seemed a crazy
That the force go with us, farewell, until always, good luck!
For if one day we cross as me disculpo, that I know of
I'll make a man serious, esperaré behind right
While you do brometa, "I see that now you are looking for high»
While you reivindiques as much more elegant
We'll goodbye and march and she asked me tell you that you have seen the old
And, step by step, you'll be so far away
As the cretí that before we go in History we played the ass
Arrambant it against the trees on the side of an institute
Oh, pobrets my, how they would have frightened
If, between the bushes, leaving you and me saying
"hey, here gentlemen, we are waiting
Guys, go by the site
We are waiting for»
