Cada vegada [English translation]

Each time that I put on

this shirt, I think of you.

I recall this very moment

when you gave it to me as a gift…

Each time that I pass

close to the Serrans Towers1

or I walk aimlessly

through the streets of the historic centre…

Each time that I stare

at the Exposition Palace2,

at the sites of Velluters3

or the Calatrava’s Bridge4…

I miss you

terribly;

it’s so hard to live without you,

being stuck5 so far away.

Each time that I read

the poignantly sad poems by Estellés6

or sing my songs

and I know that you’re not at the theatre7…

Each time that I wipe

the dust from the old vinyl discs

that you risked to buy

at the antique shop in Toulouse89…

Each time that I try

to tidy up my memories

and Anantapur10 comes to my mind

as well as the summer of 2012…

I miss you

terribly;

it’s so hard to live without you,

being stuck so far away.

And I cannot forget,

not even for a moment,

those eight months so hard

that to me they’ve become a mountain…

that to me they’ve become a mountain…

that to me they’ve become a mountain…

that to me they’ve become a mountain…
