Joan Manuel Serrat "Cançó De Matinada" lyrics

Translation to:en

Cançó De Matinada

Ens ho ha de dir la veu tremolosaY trista d'un campanar.Un cop de llum i el crit de d'una garsaQue ha despertat amb fam i buscaPer entre blats i civadesQualsevol cosa per omplir el pap.O potser un gallQue dins la cort canta:La nit és morta i ja es fa clar.

Mentre jo canto, de matinada,La vila és adormida encara.

S'han despertat mullades les fullesDel camp d'alfals veí.S'espolsen l'aigua de la rosadaMentre que arriba la matinadaI el sol que les escalfaFins que les tallin d'un cop de falç.Alcen la testaMullada i fresca.Per a caure a terra massa temps hi ha.

Dintre la vila ja plora un nenI pels afores corren els bens.

Amb el sarró i la bóta a l'esquena,Amb un bastó a la mà,Se'n va el pastor i el seu gos d'atura,Se'n van cap unes altres pastures.Trencant rius i cabanyesA les muntanyes volen tornar.Surt amb l'aurora,Cal sortit d'hora:El camí que han de fer és molt llarg.

Cap a la vila ja ve el pagès,La bossa buida i el carro ple

De roig tomàquet i de verduresCollides del seu hort.La mula sua i el carro cridaI l'home tanca els ulls i somniaMentre el sol es llevaD'un llit d'alzines, enlluernantLes velletesQue pansidetes,Cap a l'església van caminant.

I ara jo canto de matinada,La vila és adormida encara.

Dawn song

Will tell it to us the tremblingand sad voice of a bell tower.A shot of light and the yell of a heronwho woke up hungry and is lookingamong wheat and oatsfor anything to fill the cropOr maybe a roosterthat sings in the yard:The night is dead and it's getting light.

Meanwhile I sing, in the dawn,The village is still asleep.

Woke up wet the leavesof the nearby alfalfa field.They shake off the dew waterwhile up above the dawnand the sun that heats themuntil a sickle cut them.They raise the headwet and fresh.There's too much time to fall to the ground.

Inside the village a boy criesand lambs are running outside.

And with the leather bag and the boot in his back,with a cane in his hand,the shepherd and his guardian dog leave,towards another pastures.Acrossing rivers and hutsthey want to returnt to the mountains.They leave with the sunrise,they have to leave early:The road they'll walk is very long.

Towards the village comes the pagés, 1the empty bag and the cart full.

Of red tomatos and vegetablesharvested from his patch.The mule sweats and the car screechesand the men closes his eyes and dreamswhile the sun gets upfrom a holm oak bed, dazzlingthe old ladiesthat withered,they walk to the church.

And now I sing in the dawn,The village is still asleep.
