Pau
Pau treballa i estudia,
repassa apunts i llibres
sota el taulell mig d'amagat
d'una petita oficina
on es guanya la vida
amb un contracte temporal.
Pau comparteix la nevera
amb dos companys de feina
i un marroqui mig ilolegal
i a l'habitació somia
amb una gironina
que viu al bloc que hi ha al davant.
Pau és com la resta,
quan beu molt molesta
les cambreres dels locals.
Però al mateix temps es mou,
vol canviar el mon.
Pau no espera des de la trinxera
Pau te clar que no vol renunciar.
Pau no es queda resignat al terra
Pau demà tornarà a comencar.
Pau te proves cada dia
de la pornografia que escampa
el mon neoliberal.
Pau hi ha cops que desespera
però sap que no hi ha treva
en un combat tan desigual.
Pau no és cap heroi,
no te vocació
de ser carn de santoral.
Però per dormir tranquil
ha de seguir.
Pau no espera des de la trinxera,
Pau te clar que no vol renunciar.
Pau no es queda resignat al terra,
Pau demà tornarà a comencar.
Stick
Stick works and studies,
reviews notes and books
under the table halfway hidden
in a small office
where he makes a living
with a temporary contract.
Stick shares the fridge
with two coworkers
and a semi-illegal Moroccan
and in the room he dreams
of a girl from Girona
who lives in the building across the street.
Stick is like the rest,
when he drinks too much he annoys
the waitresses at the bars.
But at the same time he moves,
he wants to change the world.
Stick doesn't wait from the trench,
Stick is clear he doesn't want to give up.
Stick doesn't resign himself to the ground,
Stick will start again tomorrow.
Stick faces every day
the pornography that spreads
the neoliberal world.
Stick sometimes despairs
but he knows there's no truce
in such an unequal fight.
Stick is not a hero,
he has no vocation
to be part of the saints.
But to sleep peacefully
he must keep going.
Stick doesn't wait from the trench,
Stick is clear he doesn't want to give up.
Stick doesn't resign himself to the ground,
Stick will start again tomorrow.
