| | |
| He deixat ma mare | I've left my mother |
| sola | alone |
| a Xàtiva al carrer Blanc. | in Xàtiva in Blanc street. |
| | |
| Ma mare que sempre | My mother who always |
| espera | hopes |
| que torne com abans. | I'll come back like before. |
| | |
| He deixat germans i amics | I've left brothers and friends |
| que em volen | who love me |
| i esperen, com ma mare, | and hope, like my mother, |
| que jo torne com abans. | that I'll come back like before. |
| | |
| He vingut ací | I've come here |
| perquè crec que puc dir-vos, | because I think I can tell you, |
| en la meua maltractada llengua, | in my mistreated tongue, |
| paraules i fets | words and facts |
| que encara ens agermanen. | which still make us brothers. |
| | |
| Paraules i fets | Words and facts |
| que encara ens fan sentir | which still make us feel |
| homes entre els homes. | men among men. |
| | |
| Paraules i fets | Words and facts |
| que encara ens agermanen | which still make us brothers |
| en la lluita contra la por, | in the fight against fear, |
| en la lluita contra la sang, | in the fight against blood, |
| en la lluita contra el dolor, | in the fight against pain, |
| en la lluita contra la fam. | in the fight against hunger. |
| | |
| En la sempre necessària lluita | In the constant necessary fight |
| contra el que ens separa | against what separates us |
| i ens fa sentir-nos | and makes all of us |
| a tots nosaltres estranys. | feel strange. |
| | |
| He deixat ma mare | I've left my mother |
| i els meus germans. | and my brothers. |
| | |
| He deixat els amics i la casa | I've left friends and home |
| i tots els que esperen | and all who wait |
| que jo torne com abans. | for me to go back like before. |
| | |
| I crec que he fet bé. | And I think I've done right. |
| I crec que he fet bé. | And I think I've done right. |
| | |
| Jo sé, jo sé, jo sé, jo sé | I know, I know, I know, I know |
| que tornaré al carrer Blanc. | that I'll go back to Blanc street. |
| | |
| Però ara ací, | But now here, |
| Però ara ací, | but now here |
| crec que també és ma casa, | I think is also my home, |
| i crec que puc dir-vos, | and I think I can call you, |
| amb el cor obert, | with an open heart, |
| a tots vosaltes: germans. | all of you: brothers. |
| | |
| Germans. | Brothers. |
