A prop del mar

Near the Sea

A prop del mar

If you're not in a hurrySi no vas molt de pressa
around my street,pels voltants del meu carrer,
you'll see the white housesveuràs les cases blanques
and a bar that's always open.i un bar que està sempre obert.

Bicycles going up and down,Bicicletes que van amunt i avall,
across the whole park,que travessen tot el parc,
a church very close to the seauna església molt a prop del mar
and streets named after saints.i carrers amb nom de sant.

If you're not in a hurrySi no vas molt de pressa
and look around you,i mires al teu voltant,
you'll see open doorsveuràs portes obertes
inviting you to come in.que et conviden a passar.

Tell me if the street smells like the sea,Digue´m si el carrer fa olor de mar,
if the windows make noise,si fan soroll els finestrons,
if the sirens sound in the evening,si les sirenes sonen cap al tard,
if there are doves on the terraces.si a les terrasses hi ha coloms.

If you go near the sea,Si vas a prop del mar,
if you see my people,si veus a la meva gent,
if you go near the sea,si vas a prop del mar,
tell them I'm thinking of them.digue´ls-hi que penso en ells.

If you're not in a hurrySi no vas molt de pressa
and can stop,i et pots aturar,
look at their faces,mira´m les seves cares,
if you see time passing by.si hi veus el temps passar.

If there's happiness in their eyesSi en els seus ulls hi ha felicitat
and their work on their skin,i en la pell el seu treball,
if life goes on,si la vida segueix endavant,
as I can remember it.com jo la puc recordar.

If you go near the sea,Si vas a prop del mar,
if you see my people,si veus a la meva gent,
if you go near the sea,si vas a prop del mar,
tell them I'm thinking of them.digue´ls-hi que penso en ells.

If you go near the sea,Si vas a prop del mar,
if you go near my street,si vas a prop del meu carrer,
if you go near the sea,si vas a prop del mar,
you'll see my peopleveuràs la meva gent
