The Birds

Els Ocells

Look at the birdsMira els ocells
How they notice that winter is comingCom noten que ja ve l'hivern
How they notice that winter is comingCom noten que ja ve l'hivern

They go looking for warmer placesS'en van buscant altres paratges més calents
Other placesAltres paratges
And they fly over deserts and savannasI sobrevolen deserts I sabanes
And crystal clear oasesI oasis cristal·lins
A synchrony in the turnUna sincronia en el viratge
That only arises from instinctQue nomes neix de l'instint

Look at the birdsMira els ocells
How they notice that winter is comingCom noten que ja ve l'hivern
How they notice that winter is comingCom noten que ja ve l'hivern
And a song that I recognize perfectlyI una canço que reconec perfectament
That is the same as alwaysQue és la de sempre
That you have a phone number in your agendaQue tu a l'agenda hi tens un telèfon
You know you can always call meSaps que sempre em pots trucar
In case you feel cold one eveningEn cas de tenir fred un dia al vespre
A specific emergencyUna emergència puntual
And even though I was supposed to stay homeI tot I que ja vaig d'estar per casa
I cross the whole cityCreuo tota la ciutat
Streets, traffic lights, taxis, flickersCarrers, semafors, taxis, pampallugues
Sometimes it has worked out for meAlgun cop de què m'ha anat

Look at the birdsMira els ocells
They have already arrived, summer is backJa han arribat torna ser estiu
They have already arrived, summer is backJa han arribat torna ser estiu
Both in bedTots dos al llit
Slowly you fall asleepLentament et vas adormint
Little by littleA poc a poc
And now comes the moment when you tell me to stayI ara vé el moment que dius que em quedi
That this time you see it so clearlyQue aquest cop ho veus tan clar
That I could be the man who picks you up when you finish workQue jo podria ser l'home que un dia et recollis quan surts de treballar
I who know the end of the comedyJo que em se el final de la comèdia
That at your house I have used more than one toothbrushQue a casa teva he estrenat més d'un raspall
I might as well wear a sign that says: IdiotDec portar un cartell que diu: Imbècil
Because I end up stayingPerquè m'acabo quedant

Here the paradox is damn frustratingAqui la paradoxa és punyetera
If you stop to thinkSi ti pares a pensar
That we made everything fly through the airQue varem fer-ho volar tot pels aires
Trying to love each otherIntentant-nos estimar
That you and I have been happiestQue tu I jo quan hem estat més feliços
Is when we have used each otherÉs quan ens hem utilitzat
With premeditation, with treacheryAmb premeditació, amb traïdoria
And always under the cover of nightI sempre amb nocturnitat
