Cal que neixin flors a cada instant
Lluís Llach
Flowers must bloom at every moment
Faith is not waiting,
faith is not dreaming.
Faith is a painful struggle for today and tomorrow.
Faith is a scythe blow,
faith is giving a hand.
Faith is not living on a past memory.
We don't expect the wheat
without having sown,
we don't expect the tree to bear fruit without pruning it;
we have to work it,
we have to go water it,
even if the effort hurts us.
We don't dream of pasts
that the wind has taken away.
A flower of today withers just tomorrow.
Flowers must bloom at every moment.
Faith is not waiting...
We bury the night,
we bury the fear.
We move away the clouds that hide the light.
We must see clearly,
the path is long
and we no longer have time to make mistakes.
We must move forward
without losing pace.
We must water the earth with the sweat of hard work.
Flowers must bloom at every moment.
