Paradigm Shift

Canvi de Paradigma

With the paradigm shift, I had to apologizeAmb el canvi de paradigma vaig haver-me d’excusar
I went out on the street and ran homeVaig sortir al carrer I vaig córrer cap a casa
To empty all the drawers, rummage through all the papersPer buidar tots els calaixos, regirar tots els papers
Make a mountain out of them and watch them burnFer-ne una muntanya I veure com cremaven
It was effective, the fireVa ser eficaç, el foc
ToningTonificant
It was effective, the fireVa ser eficaç, el foc
With full flamesDe flames plenes
Of the nonsense that you and I had come to sayDe les bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat a dir
Of the nonsense that you and I had comeDe les bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat

To sayA dir
And they spread to the horizonI es propagaven a l’horitzó
To sayA dir
And educated the interlocutorI educaven l’interlocutor
To sayA dir
Always more enlightened than the othersSempre més il·lustrats que els demés
To sayA dir
And paid very well at the end of the monthI pagaven molt bé a final de mes

With the paradigm shift, I preferred the backseatAmb el canvi de paradigma preferia els segons plans
I was never sure of what I thought anymoreJá no estava mai segur del que pensava
I liked to stay in the courtyard with the radio murmuringM’agradava estar-me al pati amb la ràdio remugant
About the noise of toppled statuesSobre la remor d’estàtues derrocades
About that noiseSobre aquella remor
Above that beautiful songDamunt d’aquell bell cant
About that noiseSobre aquella remor
Of statues fullD’estàtues plena
Of the nonsense that you and I had come to sayDe les bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat a dir
Of the nonsense that you and I had comeDe les bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat

To sayA dir
And they spread to the horizonI es propagaven a l’horitzó
To sayA dir
And educated the interlocutorI educaven l’interlocutor
To sayA dir
Always more enlightened than the othersSempre més il·lustrats que els demés
To sayA dir
And paid very well at the end of the monthI pagaven molt bé a final de mes

With the paradigm shift, they had to bury meAmb el canvi de paradigma van haver-me d’enterrar
In this desert, with no name on the plaqueEn aquest ermot, amb cap nom a la placa
I thank you for the white flowers and the speech at the funeralT’agraeixo les flors blanques I el discurs al funeral
I know it had been a long time since you respected meSé que feia temps que já no em respectaves
And it looks nice, the flowersI fan bonic, les flors
With black drapes hangingAmb negres draps penjant
And behind some friendsI darrere uns amics
Who rememberedQue recordaven
The nonsense that you and I had come to sayLes bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat a dir
The nonsense that you and I had come to sayLes bestieses que tu I jo havíem arribat a dir
