Temptacions de Collserola [English translation]

He rests on the summit and his eyes run like beasts through the valley.

The sky is stuck, the dawn helpless, it doesn't know what to do

when the birds sing.

We're going to find him, we're going to find him.

And we'll ask him "where are you hiding? Where?"

For there are lines we won't cross, following the rules of this world!

The Devil appeared on a hike in Collserola1

Tell him, if you see him, what made me spend more than three hours looking for him?

I've gone all around Sant Feliu2, I'm going to the Carretera d'Horta3,

I'm going over the general points of my proposal.

The woods are full of crooked mouths, luckless beasts

He rocks them, and they fall asleep in the deep peace

of a heartless chest.

We're going to find him, we're going to find him

And we'll ask him "where are you hiding, where?"

For there are lines we won't cross, following the rules of this world!

The Devil appeared on a hike in Collserola

Tell him, if you see him, what made me spend more than four hours looking for him?

I've ransacked El Papiol, I've looked all over as far as the Puig d'Olorda,

I'm going over the general points of my proposal.

And now we seem so small

We're just the murmur

of old, wild pride

of sweaty hands and of fear.

We accept the danger,

We put up with the attacks

And we advance along the trails

of the foxes and the boars.

The Devil appeared on a hike in Collserola

I'll comb the terrain, I'll take a good swig from my hipflask

From Valldoreix to Sant Just, from La Floresta to La Bonanova,

It's just a question of time to go over the details of my proposal.
