I Was Strong Then

Manel

Ja Era Fort

Llavors ja era fort I no perdia mai la calma
I em divertia tot I havia après a saludar-te
Content I exhibint la més radiant de les rialles
Tocant-te com els forts: Els essers als que es impossible ferir

No ploris nen que no sabre què dir
No ploris nen que ets més bonic quan rius

Llavors ja era fort I dominava les paraules
I construïa móns perfectes on no m'importava
Ni amb qui has dormit avui ni què faràs demà a la tarda
Ni penso algunes nits
Que ets massa semblant a qui busco per mi

Qui gosarà sentir que el protegeix
La conca d'unes mans mortes de fred?

I el dia va arribar, aquell que amb força ja esperava
Els que han vingut avui, demà també podran anar-se'n
No em va caler ni un plor, ni encendre ciris a cap àngel
Llavors ja era fort, I un fort no t'havia de perseguir

O és que vostè no està d'acord amb mi?
Qui vol un conte trist per anar a dormir?

I Was Strong Then

Back then I was strong and never lost my cool
I had fun and learned how to greet you
Happy and showing off the brightest of smiles
Touching you like the strong do: The beings that can't be hurt

Don't cry, kid, I won't know what to say
Don't cry, kid, you're way cuter when you laugh

Back then I was strong and I had a way with words
I built perfect worlds where I didn't care
Who you slept with last night or what you'll do tomorrow afternoon
I don't think about some nights
That you're too much like the one I seek for me

Who dares to feel protected
By the palms of cold, dead hands?

And the day came, the one I was waiting for with all my might
Those who came today can leave tomorrow too
I didn't need a single tear, nor to light candles for any angel
Back then I was strong, and a strong one shouldn't have to chase you

Or do you not agree with me?
Who wants a sad story to fall asleep to?
