Una Guitarra

A Guitar

Una Guitarra

They gave it to me when I was surroundedMe la van regalar quan em voltaven
by dreams of my sixteen years, still an adolescent,somnis dels meus setze anys, encara adolescent,
between my trembling handsentre les meves mans que tremolaven
I held that toy tightly.jo vaig prendre ben fort aquell juguet.

We grew up together, I became a man;Vàrem créixer plegats, jo em vaig fer un home;
she got damaged by my side.ella es va anar espatllant al meu costat.
Now that I see her dirty and broken,Ara que jo la veig bruta i trencada,
I realize how much I loved her.m'adono del molt que l'he estimat.

First friends arrive.Primer els amics arriben.
When friends leave,Quan els amics se'n van,
only a guitar remainssols queda una guitarra
to be my companion.per fer d'acompanyant.

Now love arrives.Ara l'amor arriba.
Then love leaves.Després l'amor se'n va.
Only a guitar remainsSols queda una guitarra
and its crying song.i el seu cant que plora.

Now I know of a companion who never deceives,Ara sé d'un company que mai no enganya,
who will sing with me when I am filled with joy;que quan m'ompli de goig cantarà amb mi;
I have a faithful friend now, poor guitar:ja tinc un amic fidel, pobra guitarra:
she sings when I sing and always cries with me.canta quan canto jo i plora sempre amb mi.
