Des de la primera cançó

From the first song

que compartírem

vaig deduir que tu i jo

ens entendríem.

Cada vegada el meu playlist

Each time my playlist

s’assemblava més al teu

was getting more similar to yours

i decidírem indagar

en les nostres vides.

I a Barcelona ens vam trobar

And we met in Barcelona

mesos després de l’atemptat,

vam escollir un lloc neutral

i ens vam desvirtualitzar.

and we stepped out of the virtual world.

Durant els tres dies següents

de fondre les capes de gel

que ens separaven.

Vam perdre la noció del temps,

parlant de tot un poc,

en la teua habitació.

Damunt la taula vam posar

We put all the cards

totes les cartes

on the table

i vam ser completament francs

and we were absolutely sincere

entre nosaltres,

with each other,

però se’ns va anar de les mans

but the situation

aquella situació

got out of our hands

quan de sobte vam constatar

when suddenly we realized

que ens apreciàvem,

that we did like each other,

però això no era suficient.

but it wasn’t enough.

Tu i jo érem plenament conscients

You and I were fully aware

que una ruptura tan recent

no s’oblida fàcilment.

cannot be easily forgotten.

ens adonàrem

que allò era un punt de no retorn

inqüestionable.

abans de claudicar

irrevocable.

Amb un peu dins de l’Euromed

vam pronunciar l’últim adéu

com si fora un clau ardent.

as if it were a red-hot nail.

Com si fora un clau ardent.

Com si fora un clau ardent.
