Agost

Sisquet, shirtless, is running late,Descamisat Sisquet fa tard,
says goodbye to the gang.diu adéu a la colla.
They vaccinated him against the asphaltL'han vacunat contra l'asfalt
in a coastal village.en un poblet de costa

Where in hiding she waitsOn d'amagat l'espera
behind the churchdarrera de l'església
half tremblingmig tremolós
that kissaquell petó
that will taste like sea salt and a nightque tindrà gust a sal de mar i a nit
full of stars.plena d'estrelles.

Sweaty Cesc woke upUn pel suat Cesc s'ha llevat
from his nap,de fer la migdiada,
while next to him his womanmentre al costat la dona va
is storing sand toys and shovels.desant rasclets i pales

And watching as the girli mirant com la nena
covered in sandrebossada d'arena
sleeps on the couchdorm al sofà
she thinks she will neverpensa que mai
have a better time to go look fortindrà millor moment per anar a buscar
the couple.la parelleta

Let August comeQue arribi l'agost
heavy and lazyfeixuc i mandrós
that reminds usque ens fa recordar
of the beauty of time passing slowly.la bellesa del temps que passa a poc a poc.

From the cafe Mr. FrancescDes del cafè el senyor Francesc
watches people pass bymira la gent com tomba
having his coffee where for so many yearsfent el tallat on fa tants anys
he has a reserved spot in the shade.te un reservat a l'ombra

And when his woman arrivesi quan la dona arriba
he pulls a chair closerli acosta la cadira
beside himdel seu costat
and holds her handi li estreny la ma
thinking that the sea is like lifepensant que el mar és com la vida
that never stops its rhythm.que no atura el ritme mai.

Let August comeQue arribi l'agost
vibrant and catchyvital i enganxós
to rid us of the rushper treure'ns les presses
and regain the tenderness of the world.i recuperar la tendresa del mon.

Let August comeQue arribi l'agost
heavy and lazyfeixuc i mandrós
that reminds usque ens fa recordar
of the beauty of time passing slowly.la bellesa del temps que passa a poc a poc.
