Per un tros del teu cos
Per un amor tan tendre
què donaria jo,
què em deixaria prendre
per un tros del teu cos.
Com el pagès que es lleva
per a fer el seu camp d'or,
jo et faria meva,
et llauraria el cos.
Pels teus ulls tan negres,
jo apagaria el sol;
que només les estrelles
fossin el teu bressol.
Junts faríem la drecera
caminant sense por;
jo et trauria les pedres,
i el vent del nord, la pols.
For a Piece of Your Body
For a love so tender
what would I give,
what would I let myself be taken by
for a piece of your body.
Like the farmer who wakes up
to work his golden field,
I would make you mine,
I would plow your body.
For your eyes so black,
I would put out the sun;
so that only the stars
would be your cradle.
Together we would make the shortcut
to walk without fear;
I would remove the stones from your path,
and the north wind, the dust.
