Laura
Lluís Llach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I avui que et puc fer una canࢠAnd today that i can do a song for you
recordo quan vas arribar I remember when you came
amb el misteri dels senzills, with mistery of the simples
els ulls inquiets, el cos altiu, uneasy eyes, proud body,
i amb la rialla dels teus dits and with the laugh of your fingers
vares omplir els meus records you filled my memories
amb cada nota del teu nom, Laura. with every note of your name, Laura.
M'‚s tan dif¡cil recordar It's so hard for me to remember
quants escenaris han sentit how many stages felt
la nostra angoixa per l'avui our affliction for today
la nostra joia pel dem...... our joy for tomorrow...
a casa, enmig de tants companys, at home, between so much friends,
o a un trist exili mar enll..., or in a sad exile sea away,
mai no ha mancat el teu alŠ, Laura. we've always had your breath, Laura.

I si l'atzar et porta lluny, And if hazard takes your far
que les deus et guardin el cam¡, may the sources keep your way,
que t'acompanyin els ocells, may the birds walk with you,
que t'acaronin els estels, may the stars caress you,
i en un rac¢ d'aquesta veu, and in a room of this voice,
mentre la pugui fer sentir, while I could make it heard,




hi haur... amagat sempre el teu so, Laura.
your sound will always be hidden, Laura.

I avui que et puc fer una cançó 
recordo quan vas arribar 
amb el misteri dels senzills, 
els ulls inquiets, el cos altiu; 
i amb la rialla dels teus dits 
vares omplir els meus acords 
amb cada nota del teu nom, Laura. 

M’és tan difícil recordar 
quants escenaris han sentit 
la nostra angoixa per l’avui, 
la nostra joia pel demà... 
A casa enmig de tants companys, 
o a un trist exili mar enllà, 
mai no ha mancat el teu alè, Laura. 

I si l’atzar et porta lluny, 
que els déus et guardin el camí, 
que t’acompanyin els ocells, 
que t’acaronin els estels; 
i en un racó d’aquesta veu, 
mentre la pugui fer sentir, 
hi haurà amagat sempre el teu so, Laura.
