Damunt d'una terra

On Top of a Land

Young man, they tell you that in wars
there are only sorrows,
nothing is ever gained.
On top of this fiery land
all that is weak
wants to ignore the evils.

And Maurici is listening
but continues on the ground ignoring it,
because others have told him so much
that his life is to suffer under the mud...

Remember the reasons that one day
changed the sign
of that past time.
He has marked your life
with a wound
that you must heal.

And Maurici is listening
and thinks he already knows why there are evils.
But he hesitates, he is doubting,
and other voices also resonate around him.

Young man, don't be an anarchist
and go conquer
the highest honor,
by your side you will have the strength
that brings us order
and allows us peace.

And Maurici knows very well
that, if he only doubts, he has little.
Maurici knows what to do,
he will find his companions and take to the streets.
