PODRIES | YOU COULD |
| |
Si haguessis nascut | If you had been born |
en una altra terra, | in another country, |
podries ser blanc, | you could be white, |
podries ser negre... | you could be black... |
Un altre país | In another country |
fóra casa teva, | far from your home, |
i diries "sí" | and you’d say "yes" |
en un altra llengua. | in another language. |
| |
T'hauries criat | You’d have grown |
d'una altra manera | in a different way: |
més bona, potser | maybe a better one, |
potser més dolenta. | maybe worse. |
Tindries més sort | You’d have faced more success, |
o potser més pega... | or maybe more misfortune... |
Tindries amics | You’d have friends |
i jocs d'una altra mena; | and games of a different kind. |
| |
Duries vestits | You’d wear clothes |
de sac o de seda, | made of rugs or of silk, |
sabates de pell | leather shoes |
o tosca espardenya, | or rope sandals, |
o aniries nu | or you’d walk naked, |
perdut per la selva. | lost in a forest. |
| |
Podries llegir | You could read |
contes i poemes, | fairytales and poems, |
o no tenir llibres | or you’d have no books, |
ni saber de lletra. | nor ability to read. |
Podries menjar | You could eat |
coses llamineres | delicacies |
o només crostons | or just dry crumbs |
secs de pa negre. | of black bread. |
| |
Per tot això pensa | Because of all this, just think |
que importa tenir | that it is important to have |
les mans ben obertes | your arms open |
i ajudar qui ve | and to help a newcomer, |
fugint de la guerra, | who flees from a war, |
fugint del dolor | who flees from pain |
i de la pobresa. | and poverty. |
| |
Si tu fossis nat | If you had been born |
a la seva terra, | in his country, |
la tristesa d'ell | his sadness |
podria ser teva. | could well be yours. |
