OriginalTraduzione inglese di Angela Buxton da Cancioneros.com
T'HE CONEGUT SEMPRE IGUALI'VE ALWAYS KNOWN YOU THE SAME
  
Alerta vius, jo sé que si caiguessesYou live alert. I know that if you were to fall
tants anys, molts anys, massa anys et demanaven.they'd ask you for so many, many years, too many years.
  
Entre els sorolls dels cotxes, del carrerAmong the noise of cars, the street
i de la gent que atrafegada passa,and the people who rush past,
he vist molt clar que són molts els que lluitenI have seen very clearly that many are fighting
i que com tu calladament treballen.and are working silently like you.
  
T'he conegut sempre igual com ara,I've always known you just as you are now,
els cabells blancs, la bondat a la cara,with white hair, a face full of goodness,
els llavis fins dibuixant un somriurethin lips drawn in the smile
d'amic, company, conscient del perill.of a friend, companion, aware of the danger.
  
Sense parlar m'has dit "tot va creixent",Without speaking you told me: "Everything is growing",
lluita d'avui pel demà viu i lliure,the fight of today for a free and live tomorrow,
que es va forjant aquests dies terribles,which these terrible days are forging,
temps aquests temps de tantes ignoràncies.times, these times of so much ignorance.
  
No m'he girat mentre serè em creuaves,I didn't turn while calm, you passed by me,
he sentit fort un gran orgull molt d'home,I felt a strong pride, very manlike.
no em trobe sol, company, no et trobes solI don't feel lonely, friend, don't you either,
i en som molts més dels que ells volen i diuen.for we are many more than they want and say.
  
Aquest meu cant és teu, l'he volgut nostre;This song of mine is yours, I wanted it ours;
aquest meu cant és teu, l'he volgut nostre.this song of mine is yours, I wanted it ours.
Alerta vius, jo sé que si caiguessesYou live alert. I know that if you were to fall
tants anys, molts anys, massa anys et demanaven.they'd ask you for so many, many years, too many years.
  
T'he conegut sempre igual com ara.I've always known you just as you are now.
