Cendres i plaers

Ashes and pleasures

Dolors tu m'has cantat amb plors

Do-do-dolors, you've sung to me through tears

La història d'aquells dos amors:

The history of those two loves:

Tu m'has llençat la por, deixat la sort.

You've thrown away my fear, and given me fortune.

Dolors, digue'm si el món és fos,

Dolors, tell me if the world is dark

Si es maten nins, si es cremen cors:

If children are killed, if hearts are burned

Jo només veig que palles i futbol.

I see no more than straws and football

Totes hem cridat al vent

We've all screamed into the wind

(Repetim cridant al vent)

(repeatedly screaming into the wind)

Totes hem cridat al vent

We've all screamed into the wind

Repetim cridat al vent

Repeatedly screaming into the wind

(Deixa-ho anar)

(Let it go)

Deixa-ho anar

Let it go

(Llença-ho al cel)

(Throw it to the sky)

Llença-ho al cel

Throw it to the sky

(Si és que et fa mal)

(If it's what makes you feel bad)

Si és que et fa mal marxa corrents

If it's what makes you feel bad run away

Que les penes no ens aturin, que ens serveixin per cantar:

May sorrows not stop us, may they inspire our songs:

Que la vida se'ns escapa entre les dents (blah!)

May life escape us from between our teeth (blah!)

Do-do-dolors, tu m'has cantat amb plors

Do-do-dolors, you've sung to me through tears

Dolors, tu m'has buidat el pis

Dolors, you've emptied my flat,

Deixat la set, llençat la nit;

Left me thirsty, thrown away the night

Tu m'has sentit la pluja dins del pit.

You've felt the rain inside my breast

Dolors, tu m'has trencat l'anhel,

Dolors, you've satisfied my longing

Prohibit la llum, cremat el cel;

Forbidden light, burned the sky

Poders podrits de cendres i plaers.
