Cançó del Dubte

Song of Doubt

Cançó del Dubte

A voice asked her what she'll be when she grows up?Una veu li preguntava què seràs quan siguis gran?
My friend stayed quiet and smiled downLa meva amiga callava I somreia cap avall
If only we could go back to that afternoon to igniteQui tornés a aquella tarda a prendre foc
And stop her just before she doubts for the first time!I aturar-la just a punt de dubtar per primer cop!

When Dad asked what job will you find?Quan el pare preguntava quina feina trobaràs?
My friend, furious, tried not to cryLa meva amiga, rabiosa, intentava no plorar
And her young mind went over the optionsI el cervell jove repassava les opcions
Her eyes were tired from searching every cornerI tenia els ulls cansats de mirar en tots els racons
But looking at it, the path doesn’t say if you’re heading for glory or failurePerò, en mirar-lo, el camí no diu si vas a la glòria o al fracàs

And we’d go out at nightI sortíem a les nits
Come on, we’ll do better tomorrowVa, demà ho farem millor
While doubt watched usMentre el dubte ens observava
And we felt it growing insideI sentíem créixer dins
Almost a decisionGairebé una decisió
But it was doubt that playedPerò era el dubte que jugava
With everything that was goodAmb tot allò que era bo
With everything that was goodAmb tot allò que era bo

If a nice guy asked her what the hell she wanted him to doSi un bon noi li preguntava què collons volia que fes
My friend hesitated and leaned against himLa meva amiga dubtava I s'arrambava contra ell
And fell asleep promising herself that tomorrowI s'adormia prometent-se que demà
She’d know how to be happy by his sideSabria estar contenta al seu costat
Poor things if you know the thrill of theDesgraciats si sabeu el gust que fa els
Kisses we share while doubting!Petons que fem dubtant!

You’ve been staring at a meadowT'has quedat mirant un prat
Waiting for flowers to bloomEsperant que neixin flors
While doubt was killing themMentre el dubte les matava
You stayed up all nightT'has quedat tota la nit
Watching a body sleepObservant com dorm un cos
While doubt claimedMentre el dubte reclamava
Everything that was goodTot allò que era bo
Everything that was goodTot allò que era bo

It’s past mid-morningHa passat a mig matí
She touched me with handsM'ha tocat amb unes mans
Full of chipped nailsPlenes d'ungles despintades
She didn’t have much timeNo tenia gaire temps
But she passed through the neighborhoodPerò passava pel veïnat
And wanted to tell me that nowI em volia dir que ara
She’s got it all figured outHo té molt clar
My friend says she’s got it all figured out!La meva amiga diu que ho té molt clar!
