Nosaltres sabíem | We knew |
d'un únic senyor | a single master |
i vèiem com | and we've seen how |
esdevenia | he became |
gos. | a dog. |
Envilit pel ventre, | Degraded by his stomach, |
per l'afalac al ventre, | by flattery to his stomach, |
per la por, | by fear, |
s'ajup sota el fuet | he cowers under the whip |
amb foll oblit | in foolish oblivion of |
de la raó | the right |
que té. | he has. |
Arnat, menjat | Moth-eaten, full |
de plagues, | of pests, |
sense parar llepava | he licked unceasingly |
l'aspra mà | the rough hand |
que l'ha fermat | which has him tied up |
des de tant temps | for so long |
al fang. | in the mud. |
Li hauria estat | It would have been |
senzill de fer | easy for him to make |
del seu silenci mur | an impenetrable and high wall |
impenetrable, altíssim: | of his silence: |
va triar | he chose |
la gran vergonya mansa | the great gentle shame |
dels lladrucs. | of barking. |
Mai no hem pogut, | We have never been able, |
però, desesperar | though, to give up hope |
del vell vençut | of the old defeated one |
i elevem en la nit | and in the night we raise |
un cant a crits, | shouts in a song, |
car les paraules vessen | for the words overflow |
de sentit. | with meaning. |
L'aigua, la terra, | The water, the earth, |
l'aire, el foc | the air, the fire |
són seus, | are his, |
si s'arrisca d'un cop | if he finally takes the chance |
a ser qui és. | of being himself. |
Caldrà que digui | He will have to say |
de seguida prou, | enough at once, |
que vulgui ara | to want now |
caminar de nou, | to walk again, |
alçat, sense repòs, | upright, without a break, |
per sempre més | forevermore |
home salvat en poble, | a man saved among the people, |
contra el vent. | against the wind. |
Salvat en poble, | Saved among the people, |
ja l'amo de tot, | now the master of all; |
no gos mesell, | no cringing dog |
sinó l'únic senyor. | but his own master. |
