Born between Blanes1 and Cadaqués2,
heavily marked by tramuntana3.
Of one thing you can be sure:
the older he gets, the more crazy he becomes.
He used to say that he’d kill himself at dawn,
but towards the noon he would be quite stoned.
He smiles and says that he’s not in a hurry.
"Nobody’s waiting for me up there
and I’m not interested in going to Hell.
L'Empordà4 is very beautiful".
Bottles and years went by
and Siset5 still held on tight,
sleeping away his hangover on the bank of Ter6,
but he’s never thrown himself into it.

"And when I see the dawn break,
it takes away my wish to leave".
Possibly today he won’t commit suicide;
maybe he’ll leave it until tomorrow.
Until tomorrow7
