Five-Year Plan

Pla Quinquenal

You held me tight on my arm,Dormies mig agafada al meu braç,
A car horn from a stuck car sounded,ha sonat un clàxon de cotxe encallat,
You lazily opened one eye and stayed silenthas obert un ull mandrós i callat
And went back to your private dream.i has tornat al teu somni privat.
The coffee was brewing and we rememberedPujava el cafè i ens he recordat
Dancing on a beach with Mexican hats,ballant a una platja amb barrets mexicans,
The face you made as you turned aroundla cara que feies al anar girant
I think it was of happiness,crec que era de felicitat,
I think it was of happiness.crec que era de felicitat.

For now, I won't thank you anymore,De moment no et riuré més les gràcies,
For once I understood what is needed.per una vegada he entès el que cal.
Have a good time, I'm erasing myself from the mapPassi-ho bé, que m'esborro del mapa
To prepare in the shade a great five-year plan.per preparar a l'ombra un gran pla quinquennal.

I feel you waking up, I come to find you,Sento que et despertes, et vinc a buscar,
Baby, you have coffee, do you want me to toast bread?nena tens cafè, vols que torri pa?
The newspaper is not very stimulating,Al diari rés massa estimulant,
Little by little you are waking up.mica en mica ja et vas despertant.
And you smoke watching the cars go by,I fumes mirant els cotxes passar,
You surrender to the dense air of the neighborhood,t'entregues a l'aire dens del veïnat,
I'm thinking of suggesting we go down to the lighthouse,penso proposar que baixem al far,
I who have never been a seafaring man,jo que mai he estat home de mar,
I who have never been a seafaring man.jo que mai he estat home de mar.

The first year I'll buy a long tie printed with bright colors,El primer any compraré una corbata ben llarga estampada de colors crus,
And the second, the best European professors will teach me how to tie the knot.i, el segon, els millors professors europeus m'ensenyaran a fer el nus.
For the third, I keep the anthology of the great octosyllables that speak of youPel tercer guardo l'antologia dels grans octosíl·labs que parlen de tu
And, for the fourth, the limited edition lined in velvet.i, pel quart, l'edició limitada folrada en vellut.
And the fifth, we'll cross paths in the Eixample and ask for a table in a menu bar.I el cinquè ens creuarem per l'Eixample i demanarem taula en un bar de menús.
I'll puff out my chest, show the tie, and then, my dear,Trauré pit, ensenyaré la corbata, i llavors, bonica,
It will depend on you.dependrà de tu.
