Damunt d'una terra

On Top of a Land

Damunt d'una terra

Young man, they tell you that in warsVailet, et diuen que a les guerres
there are only sorrows,tan sols hi ha tristeses,
nothing is ever gained.no s'hi guanya mai.
On top of this fiery landDamunt d'aquesta terra encesa
all that is weaktot allò que és feble
wants to ignore the evils.vol ignorar els mals.

And Maurici is listeningI en Maurici va escoltant
but continues on the ground ignoring it,però segueix a terra sense fer-ne cas,
because others have told him so muchperquè uns altres li han dit tant
that his life is to suffer under the mud...que la seva vida és patir sota el fang...

Remember the reasons that one dayRecorda les raons que un dia
changed the signvaren canviar el signe
of that past time.d'aquell temps passat.
He has marked your lifeEll ha marcat la teva vida
with a woundamb una ferida
that you must heal.que tu has de curar.

And Maurici is listeningI en Maurici va escoltant
and thinks he already knows why there are evils.i pensa que ja sap el perquè dels mals.
But he hesitates, he is doubting,Però se'n torna, està dubtant,
and other voices also resonate around him.i altres veus ressonen també al seu voltant.

Young man, don't be an anarchistVailet, no siguis anarquista
and go conqueri vés a la conquista
the highest honor,de l'honor més alt,
by your side you will have the strengthque al teu costat tindràs la força
that brings us orderque ens porta l'ordre
and allows us peace.i ens permet la pau.

And Maurici knows very wellI en Maurici sap molt bé
that, if he only doubts, he has little.que, si només dubta, poca cosa té.
Maurici knows what to do,En Maurici sap què fer,
he will find his companions and take to the streets.trobarà als companys i sortirà al carrer.
