EL MEU COR A DALT D’UN ARBRE (MY HEART, UP IN A TREE)
Lyrics: Agustí Bartra
Music: Miquel Pujadó
 
My heart, up in a tree
Awaits the lilacs.

The sun comes with its sword
And dress cap.
Four hawks bear the train
Of its rose garden cape.
The nightingale has lost
Its navigation chart,
And two lovers share
The handkerchief for crying.

My heart…

Neither sun nor moon know
Where lilacs can be found.
I see signs and omens
Written upon my treshold.
And contrary winds pass
After sleep among the reeds,
Sluggish from such battle
They do not think of lilacs.

My heart…

Streets and paths run by.
They do no think of lilacs.
They are taken by the frenzy
Of stopping off and arriving.
From my wintertime of iron,
As I lay leveled in bed,
My soul needs you,
Oh lilacs, lilacs, lilacs.

(…)

Heart, the spring is coming,
The joy of lilacs comes,
Again you can jump to the ground
And follow behind as you whistle.
I brandish the lilacs high in the air!
Joy fable of the lilacs!
The sound of bells. Fountains. Astounded light,
And destiny is not chance.
