Lyrics

Manel - El gran salt

He fet un salt, un salt estrany
que ens ha aixecat més de tres pams.
Sortia fum, tan dens i blanc,
i a dins tu i jo i el meu gran salt. Teníem por mirant a baix,
teníem por i ens hem quedat
mig abraçats, sentint el salt
regalimant-me entre les mans. Els testimonis oculars
diuen "quin salt, carai quin salt!";
les mares diuen als infants
"no us apropeu, que ha fet un salt!". Érem tu i jo amb el món a part
i ara és el món que ens salvarà
entre les runes d'aquest salt,
que érem tu i jo i ja no ho som tant. Que això nens cau, que això nens cau!
Crido el teu nom entre el fum blanc.
"Agafa't fort i, si pots, cau
amb els dos peus i en un lloc pla". I mereixíem un comiatManel - El gran salt - http://motolyrics.com/manel/el-gran-salt-lyrics-english-translation.html
més digne de ser recordat
i no aquest veure'ns destrossats
per la força de la gravetat. Tu, saltador que saltes salts!
Tu, grimpador professional!
Tu, amic per sempre ambulant
que et defineixes pels teus salts! Que fàcil tot! Que bé que estàs!
En els teus ulls il·luminats
ja s'intueix la immensitat
de tot un món al teu abast. La nit caurà, la nit caurà,
la nit caurà i desplegaràs
un somni dolç i atrotinat
dels saltadors que salten salts. I fins demà, i fins demà,
i, a fora, hi bufa un vent tan suau,
i el saltador s'adormirà
fent cara de res,
fent cara de salt.

English translation

Manel - The great jump (English translation)

I have jumped, a weird jump,
that has risen us more than three spans.
It was smoke coming out of it, so thick and white,
inside of it, you and me and my great jump.

We were scared while looking down
we were scared and we've remained
holding each other, feeling the jump
leaking out of our hands.

The eye witnensses
say "what a jump, God what a jump!";
the mothers say to their kids
"don't get closer, they have jumped!".

It was you and me and the world apart
and now is the world that will save us
in the ruins of this jump,
that were you and me, but now not so much.

This is falling, this is falling,
I shout your name through the white smoke
"Hold me tight and, if you can, fall
with both feet and in a flat place".

And we deserved a farewellManel - El gran salt - http://motolyrics.com/manel/el-gran-salt-lyrics-english-translation.html
more worthy to be remembered
and not seeing us destroyed
by the force of the gravity.

You jumper who jump jumps,
you professional leaper!
You, friend, forever wanderer,
defined by your jumps!

How easy is everything! How good you are!
In your shining eyes
one can sense the immensity
of a whole world at your reach.

Night will come, night will come,
night will come and you'll uncover
a sweet and rusty dream
of jumpers jumping jumps.

And see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow,
outside a soft wind blows,
and the jumper will fall asleep
with face of nothing,
with face of jump.
