lyrics

ANIMAL NEGRE

Fa encara no un any
et veia saltant pels camps.
Vella, mig cega, però fidel,
malgrat anar a la teva.

Cada cop que veig
que ja no hi ets...
Només un munt de cendres
en un cofre vora el llit.

Et recordo amb aquella mirada franca d’animal negre
Et recordo amb aquella mirada franca d’animal negre
Animal negre

Malèfica tensió primaveral anual
que obstaculitza el respirar normal.
No aconsegueixo ja, encara i mai,
acabar de situar-me en l’aquí i l’ara.

Et recordo amb aquella mirada franca d’animal negre
Et recordo amb aquella mirada franca d’animal negre
Animal negre

BLACK ANIMAL [ANIMAL NEGRE] English

Less than a year ago,
I saw you jumping through the fields.
Old, half blind, but loyal,
though you went your own way.

Every time I see
that you’re gone...
Just a pile of ashes
in a box by the bed.

I remember you with that candid look of a black animal X2
Black animal

Evil yearly springtime tension
that obstructs normal breathing.
I can’t manage, yet or ever,
to find my place in the here and now.

I remember you with that candid look of a black animal X2
Black animal

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANIMAL NEGRO [ANIMAL NEGRE] Castellano

Aún no hace un año
que te veía saltando por los campos.
Vieja, medio ciega, pero fiel,
pese a ir a tu bola.

Cada vez que veo
que ya no estás...
Solo un puñado de cenizas
en un cofre cerca de la cama.

Te recuerdo con aquella mirada franca de animal negro X2
Animal negro

Maléfica tensión primaveral anual
que obstaculiza el respirar normal.
No consigo ya, aún y nunca,
acabar de situarme en el aquí y el ahora.

Te recuerdo con aquella mirada franca de animal negro X2
Animal negro…

SCHWARZES TIER [ANIMAL NEGRE] Deutsch

Es ist nicht mal ein Jahr her,
dass ich dich über die Felder springen sah.
Alt, halb blind und treu,
auch wenn du tust was du willst.

Jedes Mal wenn ich sehe,
dass du nicht mehr da bist
–nur ein Häufchen Asche
in einer Schatulle am Bettrand–.

Ich erinnere mich an dich mit jenem
offenen Blick eines schwarzen Tieres X2
Schwarzes Tier

Unheilvolle, alljährlich frühlingshafte Spannung,
die das normale Atmen behindert.
Ich schaffe es nicht mehr, noch nicht und nie,
mich ganz im Hier und Jetzt zurechtzufinden.

Ich erinnere mich an dich mit jenem
offenen Blick eines schwarzen Tieres X2
Schwarzes Tier
