The Black Eagle

Maria del Mar Bonet

L'aguila Negra

Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc
Lentament, les ales bategant
Lentament, ell anava girant
Prop de mi, el batec s'acabà
I, com caigut del cel, l'ocell es va aturar
Els ulls eren de color robí
I les plomes de color de nit

I al seu front, mil raigs de to suau
L'ocell, rei coronat, portava un diamant blau
Amb el bec la cara em va tocar
El seu coll em vaig trobar a la mà
Fou llavors que jo vaig saber qui
Imatge del passat, volia tornar amb mi
Bon ocell, porta'm amb tu al país
D'altres temps, sigues el meu amic
Com abans, en somnis clars d'infant
Per collir tremolant estels i més estels

Com abans, en somnis clars d'infant
Com abans, damunt d'un núvol blanc
Com abans, tu i jo el sol encendrem
I a l'illa del record la pluja llançarem
L'ocell negre tombà els ulls al sol
Cap al cel tot d'una emprengué el vol
Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

Lentament, les ales bategant
Lentament, ell anava girant
Prop de mi, el batec s'acabà
Com caigut del cel, l'ocell es va aturar
Els ulls eren de color robí
I les plomes de color de nit
I al seu front, mil raigs de to suau
L'ocell, rei coronat, portava un diamant blau
Amb el bec la cara em va tocar
El seu coll em vaig trobar a la mà

Fou llavors que jo vaig saber qui
Imatge del passat, volia tornar amb mi
Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc
Un bon dia, o potser una nit
Prop del mar jo m'havia adormit
Quan, de cop, el cel s'omple de llum
I un ocell negre surt sense venir d'enlloc

The Black Eagle

One fine day, or maybe one night
Near the sea, I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky fills with light
And a black bird emerges out of nowhere
Slowly, flapping its wings
Slowly, it kept turning
Close to me, the beating stopped
And, as if fallen from the sky, the bird came to a halt
Its eyes were ruby-colored
And its feathers the color of night

And on its forehead, a thousand rays of soft tone
The bird, crowned king, wore a blue diamond
With its beak, it touched my face
Its neck I found in my hand
It was then that I knew who
Image of the past, wanted to return with me
Good bird, take me with you to the land
Of other times, be my friend
Like before, in clear dreams of a child
To gather trembling stars and more stars

Like before, in clear dreams of a child
Like before, on a white cloud
Like before, you and I will light up the sun
And on the island of memory, we will cast rain
The black bird turned its eyes to the sun
Towards the sky, it took flight suddenly
One fine day, or maybe one night
Near the sea, I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky fills with light
And a black bird emerges out of nowhere

Slowly, flapping its wings
Slowly, it kept turning
Close to me, the beating stopped
As if fallen from the sky, the bird came to a halt
Its eyes were ruby-colored
And its feathers the color of night
And on its forehead, a thousand rays of soft tone
The bird, crowned king, wore a blue diamond
With its beak, it touched my face
Its neck I found in my hand

It was then that I knew who
Image of the past, wanted to return with me
One fine day, or maybe one night
Near the sea, I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky fills with light
And a black bird emerges out of nowhere
One fine day, or maybe one night
Near the sea, I had fallen asleep
When suddenly, the sky fills with light
And a black bird emerges out of nowhere
