Carnaval
Els Amics de les Arts Lyrics

Hi ha una nit concreta en què tot s'hi val, fotem una festa, muntem un sidral.
There's a specific night where everything goes, let's throw a party, let's have a blast.

Avui les paraules també ens disfressem i per un sol dia tot és diferent.
Today, words also dress up and for just one day everything is different.

Mireu la Tertúlia, com entra triomfant, ens va de Conversa, el punt elegant.
Look at La Tertúlia, how triumphantly it enters, it's all about conversation, elegant point.

Al mig de la pista la paraula Vell, que avui va amb B i tots estan per ell.
In the middle of the dance floor, the word Vell (old) that today goes with B (bell) and everyone is all for it.

Fixeu-vos, en Coco es fa dir Cocó, les coses a França sonen molt millor.
Notice how Coco goes by Cocó, things sound much better in France.

Mireu quina alegria, n'hi ha un que va de Cap. Visca la polisèmia i els significats!
Look at what joy, there's one going as 'Head.' Long live polysemy and meanings!

Parelles estables: Para-sol, Aiguardent, Celobert, Trencaclosques també l'Espantaocells. Avui són promíscues: Espantasol, Celardent, Paratemps, Obreclosques i mil Aiguaocells.
Stable couples: Para-sol, Aiguardent, Celobert, Trencaclosques, and Espantaocells. Today they are promiscuous: Espantasol, Celardent, Paratemps, Obreclosques, and a thousand Aiguaocells.

Perquè avui és Carnaval, tenim dret a fer l'animal. A anar a contracorrent, a significar coses que ens facin els dies més dolós, no tant transcendents.
Because today is Carnival, we have the right to act like animals. To go against the current, to signify things that make our sad days less transcendent.

Quina pena en Parche, no el deixen entrar, 'Ets un barbarisme! Et fots i a callar!'.
What a shame for Parche, they won't let him in. 'You're a barbarism! Get lost and shut up!'.

Passeja per fora, veu quatre Pegats, es fa una disfressa i s'intenta colar.
He walks outside, sees four Pegats, makes a costume and tries to sneak in.

El company Palíndrom fa un any va destacar per dur una disfressa estranya a matar. 'Em dic Cita'l a l'àtic. No veieu que bo que és?'. Però aquest any no es complica i tots l'hem entès.
The Palindrome guy stood out last year for wearing a killer strange costume. 'My name is Cital'al'Àtic. Don't you see how good it is?'. But this year, he doesn't complicate things and we all understand him.

Vesteix monosíl·lab: avui es diu Pep. Com balla la Porta! Topar, Tropa, Patró. El Pany que ho intenta, però quin Nyap, Déu n'hi do! Carai la Llumeta, s'abraça amb el Pal, 'No em digueu Llumeta, avui sóc un Fanal!'.
Wears a monosyllable: today it's called Pep. How the Door dances! Bump, Troop, Boss. The Lock tries it, but what a mess, OMG! Wow, Llumeta hugs Pal, 'Don't call me Llumeta, today I'm a Fanal!'

Perquè avui és Carnaval, tenim dret a fer l'animal. A anar a contracorrent, a significar coses que ens facin els dies més dolós, no tant transcendents.
Because today is Carnival, we have the right to act like animals. To go against the current, to signify things that make our sad days less transcendent.

L'endemà t'aixeques cansat però content. Un diumenge s'afronta, a poc a poc i anar fent. Et mires al diccionari i tornes a ser tu. I creus que és injust però no ho dius a ningú.
The next day you wake up tired but happy. A Sunday faced little by little, taking it step by step. You look in the dictionary and become yourself again. And you think it's unfair but you don't tell anyone.
