En S'estiu
Antònia Font
In the Summer
Here above me, the waves mock me,
The boat goes wherever it wants,
The red stone cliff
Amazes me and scares me,
I came to fish the sea
But I got stuck
And unintentionally caught the land.
The August sun beats down on my face
And I smile at the wind
That refreshes me now and then,
I couldn't be happier,
Right by the north wind
Lying on the boat,
What a bad guy I am!
As if the hours pass by,
I light a cigarette.
Nothing in this world matters to me,
I just want to be a piece
Of nature in miniature,
I'll melt under the waves
Like a gulp of brandy.
And I'm having a damn good time
Since it's summer,
I almost forgot
What it's like to live peacefully.
And I'm having a damn good time
And I want to die
Lying on the boat
With a glass of wine.
Here above me, the waves mock me,
I think I fell asleep,
The compass trembles at times.
This is a paradise
Of silence that surrounds me,
I'll bounce over the waves
Like dolphins do.
I'll make my whole life
A journey like this,
In the day I take out the boat,
At night I cook fish.
I can't ask for anything more,
I've solved all the problems
Saying nonetheless.
And I'm having a damn good time
Since it's summer,
I almost forgot
What it's like to live peacefully.
And I'm having a damn good time
And I want to die
Lying on the boat
With a glass of wine.
And I'm having a damn good time
Since it's summer,
I almost forgot
What it's like to live peacefully.
And I'm having a damn good time
And I want to die
Lying on the boat
With a glass of wine.
