Saps
Serrat Joan Manuel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saps,
El gerani ha florit
A casa meva.
Saps,
Saps que cada matí
L'amor es lleva.

Saps,

Les llàgrimes, el temps
Les arrossega.
Saps,
Després de l'hivern
Neix la primavera.

Saps,
S'ha perdut la teva olor
I no recordo ni el color
D'aquells ulls
Que tant em varen mirar...

Quan el meu cos lligaves amb les teves mans
I jo era un infant.
Quan en sentir-te a prop en arribar la nit
Em feia petit.

Saps,
Ja torno a riure amb
Qualsevol cosa.
Saps,

Avui els teus records
No em fan cap nosa.

Sabes,
el geranio ha florecido
en mi casa.
Sabes,
sabes que cada mañana el amor se levanta.
Sabes,
las lagrimes, el tiempo
las arrastra.
Sabes,
luego del invierno
nace la primavera.
Sabes,
se ha perdido tu olor
y no recuerdo ni el color
de aquellos ojos
que tanto me miraron ...
Cuando mi cuerpo atado con tus manos
yo era un niño.
Cuando sentirte cerca al llegar la noche
me hacía pequeño.
Sabes,
ya vuelvo a reír con
cualquier cosa.
Sabes
hoy tus recuerdos
no me estorban
