Nit freda per ser abril [English translation]

Maria and Marcel, side by side at a bar

They’re watching each other and taking sips of their respective beers

He’s dressed all in red

She’s filling in a crossword

Oh, Maria,

Oh, Marcel,

Who will go up and talk to the other?

Who will risk failure?

Who will jump without a net?

He wants to take her dancing

She wants to take him home

I would invite you to wine

I would be sweet, I would be friendly.

If you would to sit with me, what a pleasant moment!

We would shut the place down,

The night would be so long, and we’ld leave together from this strange city

And we’ld have nice strong kids and a house with a balcony.

Marcel extends his arm,

Maria smiles into the air.

But the time has slipped away and they can’t find the words.

Tomorrow, he’ll have the courage,

Tomorrow, she’ll be more beautiful.

It’s a cold night for April.

There’s no place like home. (x8)
