Poemes i promeses

We've burned our handsEns hem cremat les mans
as many times as needed.tants cops com ha calgut.
We've bitten the groundHem mossegat la terra
every time we fell.sempre que hem caigut.
And if ever on some dayI si mai en algun dia
I've made a mistake,he comès algun error,
now all I can tell youara tot el que puc dir-te
is that I'm sorry.és que ho sento molt.
But we shouldn't look backPerò no hem de mirar enrera
to feel good,per poder sentir-nos bé,
we shouldn't look back to knowno hem de mirar enrera per saber
all that we've done.tot el que hem fet.

Now my face is burnt by the wind.Ara tinc la cara cremada pel vent.
I also have your poemsTambé tinc els teus poemes
written on my skinescrits a la meva pell
and if one day you need themi si un dia et fan falta
don't worry, I'll keep them for youno pateixis, jo te'ls guardaré
and if one day you need themi si un dia et fan falta
don't worry, I won't forget them,no pateixis, no els oblidaré,
I carry them written on my skin.els porto escrits a la pell
But you know very well that we needPerò saps molt bé que cal que anem
to hurry,de pressa,
that maybe we're not on time.que potser no hi som a temps.

We left homeVam marxar de casa
a long time agoara fa molt temps
we left one dayvam partir un dia
when there was no wind.que no feia vent.
The sails didn't move,Les veles no es movien,
the sea was calm.el mar estava quiet.
We were adrift,Anàvem a la deriva,
nothing was visible on the horizon.a l'horitzó no es veia res.
We shouldn't look backNo hem de mirar enrera
to feel good,per poder sentir-nos bé,
we shouldn't look backno hem de mirar enrera
to know all that we've done.per saber tot el que hem fet.

And all the promisesI totes les promeses
we made to each other one dayque un dia ens vam fer
sealed with the gazesegellades amb la mirada
of one who only has faith;d'aquell que només té fe;
if one day you need themsi un dia et fan falta
don't worry, I'll keep them.no pateixis, que jo les guardaré.
If one day you need themSi un dia et fan falta
don't worry, I won't forget them,no pateixis, no les oblidaré,
I have them written on my skin.les tinc escrites a la pell.
But you know very well that we needPerò saps molt bé que cal que anem
to hurry,de pressa,
that maybe we're not on time.que potser no hi som a temps.

Poems and promises,Poemes i promeses,

We shouldn't look backNo hem de mirar enrera
to feel good,per poder sentir-nos bé,
we shouldn't look backno hem de mirar enrera
to know all that we've done.per saber tot el que hem fet.

Autumn has arrived,La tardor ha arribat,
I'm starting to feel cold,començo a tenir fred,
the hours seem short to meles hores se'm fan curtes
and these times are very uncertain;i aquests temps són molt incerts;
because life goes fastque la vida va de pressa
and I feel it slipping through my hands,i sento com se m'escapa de les mans,
The poems and promisesEls poemes i les promeses
that we sealed that dayque aquell dia vam segellar
I'll never forget,mai els oblidaré,
because we need to hurrydoncs cal que anem de pressa
that maybe we're not on time.que potser no hi som a temps.
