Bon Dia

Good Morning

Bon Dia

Old Montserrat, wakes up the neighborhoodLa vella Montserrat, desperta el barri
sweeping while singing,a cops d'escombra tot cantant,
the first shutters, yawning figs are superfluous.les primeres persianes, sobren feixugues badallant.
Behind the frosted glass, the barista assures it wasn't a penaltyRere el vidre entelat, el cafeter assegura que no era penal
and the conversation dissolves like sugar in the coffee.i es desfà la conversa igual que el sucre del tallat.

Good morning, no one asked for it but it's a good morning,Bon dia, ningú ho ha demanat però fa bon dia,
above the heads a very insolent sundamunt els caps un sol ben insolent
boldly illuminates the whole spectacle of people.il·lumina descarat tot l'espectacle de la gent.

In the middle of the squareAl bell mig de la plaça
the fishmonger patiently deals with Consolla peixetera pren paciència amb la Consol
who mumbles and gives awayque remuga i regala
big whiffs of alcohol.grans bafarades d'alcohol.
And at the corner restingI al pedrís reposant
Grandpa Josep doesn't miss any detaill'avi Josep no es deixa perdre cap detall
and with a look wondersi amb esguard es pregunta
how many more days he has as a gift.quants dies més té de regal.

Good morning...Bon dia...

Children screaming, the smell of cat pee,Nens xisclant, olor a pixum de gat,
neighbors who criticize you once you've passed by.veïnes que un cop has passat et critiquen.
People throwing away trash in secretGent llençant la brossa d'amagat
and a delayed person who looks at you with blurry eyesi un retardat que amb ulls burletes et mira
and saysi diu

Good morning...Bon dia...
