Roma

If I had been born in Rome more than 2000 years ago,Si hagués nascut a roma fa més de 2000 anys,
We would live in an empire, we would have a slave.Viuríem en un imperi, tindríem un esclau.
And amphorae in the courtyard full of oil and wine.I àmfores al pati plenes d’oli i vi.
And a marble statue dedicated to me.I una estàtua de mabre dedicada a mi.

If I had been born in Rome more than 2000 years ago.Si hagués nascut a roma fa més de 2000 anys.
Your golden hair wouldn't smell like shampoo.No faria olor a xampú el teu cabell daurat.
We would offer bulls to the gods, toast with soldiers.I oferiríem bous als déus, brindaríem amb soldats.
And we would be woken up by a cart, climbing the cobblestone.I ens despertaria un carro, pujant per l’empedrat.

And tourists take photos where you and I had breakfast.I els turistes es fan fotos, on tu i jo vam esmorzar.
These are the good things about passing into eternity.Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat.

And the guide shows them the mosaic of the dining room.I el guia els ensenya el mosaic del menjador.
They are portrayed and stroll through our room.Es retraten i passegen per la nostra habitació.

And now a child draws in pencil in the museum hall,I ara un nen dibuixa a llapis a la sala del museu,
The emerald bracelet that wrapped your veil.El braçalet de maragdes que t’embolicava el vel.
And a diver finds our glasses and our plates.I un submarinista troba els nostres gots i els nostres plats.
These are the good things about passing into eternity.Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat.
