Somnis de La Plaça Rovira

Dreams of Rovira Square

Somnis de La Plaça Rovira

Sometimes dreamsDe vegades els somnis
Live in realityViuen la realitat
And the other way around, there's lifeI a l’invers hi ha vida
That makes dreams come trueQue fa real lo somniat
Like this sweet nightCom aquesta nit dolça
Of an August filled with tentsD’un agost d’envelats
In the streets celebratingPels carrers fent la festa
That reminds me of the pastQue em recorda al passat
That reminds me of the pastQue em recorda al passat

A past like a neighborhoodUn passat com un barri
With a future without mirrorsDe futur sense espills
Where my grandparents livedOn van viure els meus avis
Where their children were bornOn van néixer els seus fills
I have memories of my dadTinc records del meu pare
When after workQuan després del treball
He'd come to see usEns baila em a veure
The horchatas from VallLes orxates de’n Vall
The horchatas from VallLes orxates d’en Vall

Rovira SquarePlaça Rovira
Old Rovira SquareVella Plaça Rovira
From my neighborhood in GràciaDel meu barri de Gràcia
And my sleepy heartI el meu cor adormit
And my sleepy heartI el meu cor adormit
Rovira SquarePlaça Rovira
You spark in meEm bategues guspires
A fire that was already ashesD’un foc que ja era cendra
And more than smokeI més que fum
You are all lightEts tota llum
This nightAquesta nit

And at night we’d goI a la nit ens anavem
To change the vibe a bitPer canviar un poc d’ambient
To the Comulada barFins al bar Comulada
The Palace of ClimentEl Palau de’n Climent
Where the saladsOn les ensaladilles
Of their specialtyDe la seva patent
Made the taste of dreamsFeien que el tast dels somnis
A delight for the customerFos un gust pel clent
A delight for the customerFos un gust pel Client

Pere's pharmacyLa farmàcia de’n Pere
And the kiosk said, enough!I el quiosc deien, prou!
Time to close, here comesA tancar que ja arriba
The last thirty-nineEl darrer treinta-nou
And the Rovira cinemaI el cinema Rovira
Was a decorated dreamFou un somni guarnit
With Charlie making laughsAmb Charlot fent rialles
For the big ones and the little onesPels grans i els més petits
For the big ones and the little onesPels grans i els més petits

This nightAquesta nit

And at the first sound of dreamsI al primer son del somni
When time took offQuan el temps va partir
My dad would say to meEl meu pare em deia
'Let’s go home to sleep'‘Anem a casa a dormir’
And in silence we’d returnI en silenci tornavem
Slowly upLentament cap amunt
To the grandparents' towerA la torre dels avis
And all their deceasedI tots els seus difunts
And all their deceasedI tots els seus difunts

And between the well and the stonesI entre el pou i les pedres
Of the Massens gardenDel jardí de Massens
The galaxy cried for usLa galàxia ens plorava
Rain from Saint LawrencePluges de Sant Llorenç
And my dad spoke to meI el meu pare em parlava
Pointing to the skyAssenyalant-me el cel
'Before your dreams‘Fes-li abans dels teus somnis
Give a kiss to your starUn petó al teu estel
A kiss to your star'Un petó al teu estel’
