Cançó d'amor [English translation]

If I'm speaking about love today

It's only to, maybe, tell you all

Without any emphasis or eloquence,

That I have written so many songs

Hiding truths

Behind wordplay.

Maybe it's because all of this

That I need to say it now...

I will speak about the laws

That turn our bodies

Into a sordid lie;

Maybe I will need to say

That laws have confused

Added value with family values.

Maybe I am wrong;

Maybe you, maybe I...

And I will speak about those people

For whom the body is a prison

Filled with vituperated passions

And, in a clandestine bed,

When night arrives at last,

They caress each other while hiding.

Maybe I am wrong;

Maybe you and I...

Love is the free and sincere

Pleasure

Of a game filled with urgent desires;

A poem about skins

In which sex is the accent

Of a simple language.

I don't know whether I am right;

Maybe you, maybe I...

If I'm speaking about love today

It's only to, maybe, tell you all

Without any emphasis or eloquence,

That I will write a thousand songs

Hiding truths

Behind wordplay.

It's only because of this

That I need to say it now...
