Manel - Al Mar!
Tu i jo hem sopat en bons restaurants,
tu i jo hem ballat a la llum d'un fanal,
tu i jo volàvem en un Ford Fiesta groc,
tu i jo hem cantat a la vora del foc,
tu i jo hem buscat coses similars,
tu i jo hem tingut cap ple de pardals,
tu i jo dalt la noria,
tu i jo i la nostra història,
però tu i jo no ens hem banyat mai al mar,
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar.
Plantem les tovalloles, convido a un gelat,
juguem amb a pala grega, esquivem passejants.
A l'horitzó es divisen les veles
d'uns nens que fan optimist a la cala del costat.
Dormo una estona, ara que bulfa de mar,
així estirada se't veu espectacular:
llarga i blanqueta a la sorra llegint
intrigues vaticanes de final inesperatManel - Al Mar! - http://motolyrics.com/manel/al-mar-lyrics-english-translation.html
-és abusiva, tanta calor-
t'incorpores i et poses bé el banyador,
amb el peu calcules com està l'aigua
i tot està llest per tal que entrem al mar,
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar.
Així doncs, si un dia véns i passes per aquí,
i si, malgrat la feina, trobem un matí,
no em perdonaria mai, no podria assumir,
no afagar-te amb la moto i que no féssim camí,
molt lluny d'aquí, a l'altra banda del món,
hi ha un xiringuito amb quatre pins al fons,
tu i jo asseguts a la barra d'un bar,
sona bona música i som davant del mar,
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar, al mar
al mar.
Manel - To the Sea! (English translation)
You and I have eaten at good restaurants,
you and I have danced in the light of a lamp post,
you and I flew around in a yellow Ford Fiesta,
you and I have sung beside a fire,
you and I have sought similar things,
you and I have had a head full of sparrows,
you and I atop the ferris wheel,
you and I and our history,
but you and I've never bathed in the sea, the sea, the sea.
We plant our towels, I invite you to an ice cream,
we play [a game with a ball and paddles], we dodge walkers-by.
On the horizon, you can see the sails
of some kids who play "optimist" in the cove.
I sleep a little while, now that the sea is blowing,
All stretched out you look spectacular:Manel - Al Mar! - http://motolyrics.com/manel/al-mar-lyrics-english-translation.html
Long and white in the sand, reading
an intriguing story with an unexpected end
-this heat is insufferable-
You put yourself together and fix your swimsuit,
with your foot you judge how the water is
and everything is ready for us to enter the sea.
So if a day comes and passes by here,
and if, despite work, we find a morning,
I wouldn't forgive it any longer, I wouldn't think of
not picking you up with my motorcycle and and going that way,
really far from here, to the other side of the world,
there's a xiringuito (beach bar) with four pines in back,
you and I sitting at the counter of the bar,
good music's playing and we're facing the sea.
