Roma
Si hagués nascut a roma fa més de 2000 anys,
Viuríem en un imperi, tindríem un esclau.
I àmfores al pati plenes d’oli i vi.
I una estàtua de mabre dedicada a mi.
Si hagués nascut a roma fa més de 2000 anys.
No faria olor a xampú el teu cabell daurat.
I oferiríem bous als déus, brindaríem amb soldats.
I ens despertaria un carro, pujant per l’empedrat.
I els turistes es fan fotos, on tu i jo vam esmorzar.
Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat.
I el guia els ensenya el mosaic del menjador.
Es retraten i passegen per la nostra habitació.
I ara un nen dibuixa a llapis a la sala del museu,
El braçalet de maragdes que t’embolicava el vel.
I un submarinista troba els nostres gots i els nostres plats.
Són les coses bones de passar a l’eternitat.
Rome
If I had been born in Rome more than 2000 years ago,
We would live in an empire, we would have a slave.
And amphorae in the courtyard full of oil and wine.
And a marble statue dedicated to me.
If I had been born in Rome more than 2000 years ago.
Your golden hair wouldn't smell like shampoo.
We would offer bulls to the gods, toast with soldiers.
And we would be woken up by a cart, climbing the cobblestone.
And tourists take photos where you and I had breakfast.
These are the good things about passing into eternity.
And the guide shows them the mosaic of the dining room.
They are portrayed and stroll through our room.
And now a child draws in pencil in the museum hall,
The emerald bracelet that wrapped your veil.
And a diver finds our glasses and our plates.
These are the good things about passing into eternity.
