Tinc un clavell per tu
Tinc un clavell per tu,
que m'han dit que tens pena al cor,
i tristesa als ulls.
Jo només passava, ni sé on anava, però penso que...
Tinc un clavell per tu,
si és que tens el cor malalt d'amor,
o el cap malalt de món,
o et sembla tan difícil veure una finestra. I tanmateix...
Au! Vinga, amunt, amunt.
Obre els teus ulls i amunt.
Puja a la barca amb el teu bagatge
i recorda que la vida és teva.
Tinc un clavell per tu,
sé que potser em poso on no puc,
però un somriure teu
em faria un sant amb la feina acabada. I és així que...
Tinc un clavell per tu.
Apa! Pren-lo, doncs.
Per què esperar més,
mira que el temps passa. I tanmateix...
Au! Vinga...
Tens un clavell per mi,
que a voltes tinc pena al cor
i tristesa als ulls
i em sembla tan difícil un poc de llum.
Au! Vinga...
I Have a Carnation for You
I have a carnation for you,
they told me you have sorrow in your heart,
and sadness in your eyes.
I was just passing by, don't know where I was going, but I think that...
I have a carnation for you,
if your heart is sick with love,
or your head sick with the world,
or you find it so hard to see a window. And yet...
Come on! Up, up.
Open your eyes and up.
Get on the boat with your baggage
and remember that life is yours.
I have a carnation for you,
I know maybe I'm stepping where I shouldn't,
but a smile from you
would make my day. And that's why...
I have a carnation for you.
Come on! Take it then.
Why wait any longer,
see how time flies. And yet...
Come on!...
You have a carnation for me,
sometimes I have sorrow in my heart
and sadness in my eyes
and it seems so hard to find a little light.
Come on!...
