If I Were a Fisherman

Joan Manuel Serrat

Si Jo Fos Pescador

Si jo fos pescador pescaria l'aurora, si jo fos caçador atraparia el sol;
si fos lladre d'amor m'obririen les portes, si fos bandit millor que vindria tot sol: els carcellers del món no em sabrien mai l'ombra, si fos lladre i bandit no em sabrien el vol. Si tingués un vaixell m'enduria les noies, si volien tornar deixarien llurs cors: i en faria fanals per a prendre'n de nous.

If I Were a Fisherman

If I were a fisherman, I would fish for the dawn, if I were a hunter, I would catch the sun;
if I were a thief of love, they would open the doors for me, if I were a bandit, better that I would come alone: the jailers of the world would never know my shadow, if I were a thief and bandit, they wouldn't know my flight. If I had a ship, I would take the girls with me, if they wanted to return, they would leave their hearts: and I would make lanterns to capture new ones.
