My first CD Take the risk, it’s a dream come true. Now that I am 60 years old, I have been happy to record the issues I made when I was younger.
The initial idea was to give the CD to the box of solidarity and that is why I was asked that the topics talk about the Current history of the Catalan people (I adapted two letters to 11-12).
Finally I have chosen to make a record that celebrates my 60th anniversary and I have in mind to arrange more songs little by little. Among those that contains this record, the 6 and the 7 belong to a story narrated with songs. It was the story of my desired life. I wanted to go to Canada, live in nature, win every day my right to feel alive. And I imagined the moment to leave, as well as the moment in which it had surpassed the nostalgia. With these 10 topics that speak of this adventure, I want to create a new CD and then I will do another with general themes, because I wrote more than 300 songs at the time.
Take the risck (Arrisca’t)
You can choose the voices that accompany you
can also be fresh light into the darkness and still be fine.
Being everything being new.
It is up to you to begin the day.
Also it is up to you do not emptiness and lazyness swallow you,
you can say yes, you can say no.
But above all take a risk, take a risk.
You won’t worth if not
You’re risking bet and if you don’t take the risk there is no game.
You can fatten your fancy, eat the fear,
which just wants to make you a rotten hole in the heart.
Live your dreams.
Drink on once love and joy, become yourself again.
Be fiction, walk with me to the horizon
day and night,
But above all take a risk, take a risk.
You won’t worth if not
You’re risking bet and if you don’t take the risk there is no game.
Take a risk, a risk, for everything. All for you.
Any place (Cualquier lugar)
He began to walk and I do not know where, where, following where he will arrive.
He’s been cut by the air at night, it does not let him breathe.
His soul dosn’t work, he swings in his loneliness,
the morning brings calm. Start again.
You haven’t been looking back for a long time,
you were surprised without people and homeless.
You collected days from one place to another.
Far away from loneliness, but not near a big city, you found an ideal land.
Soon you forgot your way of being, acting without any guarantee,
Taking roots was your idea to lose.
There were no owners when arriving here, there were no borders, everything was a garden,
that’s why you made a good space for you.
He began to walk and I do not know where, where, following where he will arrive.
He’s been cut by the air at night, it does not let him breathe.
His soul dosn’t work, he swings in his loneliness,
the morning brings calm. Start again.
You have everything and it is not much more than you always used to have.
What you sold or had to buy
Now you do not change with each station, but you are not alone as yesterday,
they bring you news, there will soon be an expropriation.
The road has to be done.
They need it, who knows why! And there is no other route, oh! be sure of it!
It’s not your fault to have to leave,
maybe there’s no place for you.
You are bohemian you will go on bohemian.
He began to walk and I do not know where, where, following where he will arrive.
He’s been cut by the air at night, it does not let him breathe.
His soul dosn’t work, he swings in his loneliness,
the morning brings calm. Start again.
You look at your house when it’s going to fall,
take the force of sunrise.
Going on a walk now, it’s your way of giving up.
You leave it all, you start thinking.
You see that the way will help you to walk,
soon there can be a place in any place… anywhere
The lighthouse (El far)
The clarity comes, the light of the nearby lighthouse dies,
The morning sun rises from a new learning day.
I am very close to your beat, the waves and the tide
I feel the shout of the seagulls, as they risen me over you
Tonight I will turn my back to the memories of this sand
The same town that I see now no longer looks like the villange of yesterday,
Little by little every closed door, each fisherman porch
are going away from my bohemian heart who pursues the intrepid game
The sun, a sailor lighthouse, leaves the relief tired
It’s the night, again, the companion of the sea.
Gray silhouettes walking along the sidewalk of my white ship,
nothing will say, almost nothing comment, while I’m working.
When darkness causes us to be blinking, a unique goodbye from happy voices …
… and I am already at sea at last, the light that has always made me return
this time is lighting me to go further.
I only hear the knock of the old waves that will take me around with them
The sail will swell and the port will be far away
At night without colors, only the lighthouse will see me.
How can I tell you? (¿Cómo puedo decirte?)
How can I tell you that I still love you, that your life is in mine and occupies my solitude?
How can I tell you that you have left my side, without wanting it and ignoring that you are capable of loving?
The fear that you feel, I have felt in other days.
Everyone has their time and that is why I will wait.
The fear that you have, has to turn against you,
do not waste your life, without learning to live.
Discover yourself, giving it all at every moment.
That’s the way, do not be afraid to be fragile and constant.
How can I tell you that you learn from blows and with an empty heart you will never be able to win?
How can I tell you that the pain that burns you most will be when you give your soul and anyone will not able to believe you?
At the end of your path, there will be nothing to lean on.
I see your future now, I already feel your disappointment.
At the end of your path, an abyss will have grown.
Do not think you know everything, hardening the heart.
Although you do not understand now, the truth is that who gives everything, doesn’t fell empty, but the one who decided not to receive it.
How can I tell you that I still love you, that your life is in mine and occupies my solitude?
How can I tell you that you have left my side, without wanting it and ignoring that you are capable of loving?
The fear that you feel, I have felt in other days.
Everyone has their time and that is why I will wait.
The fear that you have, has to turn against you,
do not waste your life, without learning to live.
Closer to you (Más cerca de tí)
They tell me that wanting a past can not be,
I can not either want a crazy effort to know,
If I want to want the mind, by the fact of being born,
They make me feel different and I do not know why!
It is very difficult for me to adore the beautiful but empty,
It seduces me much more, which is full of meaning.
I do not understand those songs that give a single love,
the one that arrives turned into anxieties, fire and passion.
They do not speak of the quiet love that exists in every heart,
that love that does not always need, have to run away from reason.
I love the one who remains strong despite the hurricane,
because everything that wants to achieve becomes beautiful.
And they tell me that I can not live in dreams,
but I, when I try, closer to you I feel.
Beauty is praised because it is pleasing to look,
there are such short things that time will take away!
I know that in every thought there is an opportunity.
I am more selfish than everyone because I love what will last.
I do not understand some things that for many are clear.
I know I have to learn, but not from his words
That they tell me that I can not live in dreams,
but I, when I try, closer to you I feel.
I don’t know what’s better (No sé qué vale más)
I discover little by little what I have to leave,
a thousand words written in my solitude,
I’m discovering that it’s not easy to have to leave
to start everything in another place.
I’m clearly seeing how difficult it will be
Starting over when I barely learned to listen.
I find my memories on each occasion,
I stumble over what cost me the longest
And I compare it with the sun of the mountains
and with the light in front of the snow in the mornings
The air cools my face and whispering, freezes my heart.
Avid trees of heaven, young of sun
they keep bewitching every heart.
I know that those who love me will understand me,
but I will never know if I could love.
I’m dragged by the sun from the mountains
and by the light in front of the snow in the mornings.
The air cools my face and the clear water takes the memories of my yesterday
Before I thought that my march would be happy
and nothing would disturb my desire to arrive.
Now I know for sure what I will feel
and that I will have to reduce it to cry
Because I want to go to the sun of the mountains
and see the light in front of the snow in the morning.
I do not know what is better, I do not know what is better
Because I want to go to the sun of the mountains
and see the light in front of the snow in the morning
and stay there, and stay there, …
… and stay there,…
I don’t want to come back (No quiero regresar)
I have exhausted the desire to remember I have managed to harden myself to continue
Imagining all this was my great passion, but seeing it totally robs the heart.
I do not have time to think about yesterday, I avoid it and I concentrate on my life here.
It’s hard to survive and keep everything, but never for that reason I have to regret it.
If there was something of missing on me, my cabana, the wind, the fear and silence, they took them far away from here.
The time for crying is over, there are no tears left for people I met
That is very far, I’m fine like that. I left everything to not find everything here
I am a companion of heaven, love follows me, among the trees of the forest is my heart
Even if there was nothing to make me forget, my desire of coming back were wilted.
If there was something of missing on me, my cabana, the wind, the fear and silence, they took them far away from here.
I do not want to return because nothing calls me, I can only answer to the morning
There is nothing to run away from, nothing more to love than the life they gave me to be happy.
If there was something of missing on me, my cabana, the wind, the fear and silence, they took them far away from here.
Far away from here, far from here, …
You are two (Sois dos)
You found it on your way,
a dog without a master to be faithful to.
He greeted you like a friend,
he followed you, maybe you followed him.
You want to be alone just with you,
don’t like anybody knows where you’re going
and it bothers you that a witness
always goes behind you.
You are two to share the hours,
two that go together without end,
in counter- direction.
You are two and each one alone,
two that go against the storm,
by simple hobby.
One hundred times you pushed him away,
a hundred and one times he found you
and it’s because he carried a message
“you do not want, but do I want”.
When you have exhausted your impatience,
you see everything of another color;
at one sign he already sits,
at another he is a hunter.
You are two to share the hours, …
It warns you before the storm,
you give them fire and love
He sometimes walks away on his own
and comes back with something better
They took him this morning,
because he was not wearing a collar.
With the last thing you had left,
you go after him, through the city.
You were two to share the hours, …
You ARE two to share the hours,
two that go together without end,
in counter- direction.
You are two and each one alone,
two that go against the storm,
by simple hobby.
Be my friend (Sé mi amigo)
I wish I could get close to the scandal.
I wish I was her but without trying.
He already knows that I love him, I know he feels something for me,
but I was late, the plans of life are like this!
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
I repeat it but inside wounds the desire for love.
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
I only have one thought and I regret thinking.
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
It is not harder to carry an unshared love,
that a love that must be silenced and perhaps it could have been real.
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
I repeat it but inside wounds the desire for love.
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
I only have one thought and I regret thinking.
Be my friend, do not be anything else.
I will wait for it (Yo, le esperaré)
I will wait for it (the love), even if it has to come from my imagination, mmm
I will wait for you, even if it has to come from my imagination, …
… but come soon love, I do not want to pretend anymore.
I am desires, I feel dark, I need to feel in my skin another skin of tenderness
Satiate my thirst, paints light in my shadows,
I am lonelyness, I feel myself forgetfulness, I need in my life another life that vibrates with me
But I do not want to give in to the wind that is dragging the dust of the way.
I will wait for it (the love), even if it has to come from my imagination, mmm
I will wait for you, even if it has to come from my imagination, …
… I know it’s you, although it’s hard for you to decide,
it’s up to you and it stuns you so much, but I will not be the one to manage the feeling of your being by my side
because I do not want to give in to the wind that drags the dream and the miracle
I will wait for it (the love), even if it has to come from my imagination, mmm
I will wait for you, even if it has to come from my imagination, …
It can’t be stopped (Ja no es pot aturar)
They tell us that thinking differently is not good, that it does not suit us.
Nor should we be friends of wisdom and knowledge.
If we love our language, our land, its past,
They make it look like revenge, as if they were threatened.
They do not understand that with more chains, we will seek more freedom
That the lies in the long run, give strength to the truth
Don’t separate ourselves into the apparent darkness that we now have to cross.
Only with the united hands will we maintain the will,
of making an open and free nation for those who want to love it,
As companions of adventures, not as a busy place.
We know that we are very diverse and in this we find the charm
We speak in many languages in the name of freedom
The will of the people can no longer be stopped,
The path has no return, the dream is in the corner.
The land that receives us will allow us to grow
keeping the roots of the one that saw us born.
Respect for culture overcomes the fear of yesterday.
Greatness is in understanding, the homeland in the heart.
We are the people who live here under the same sunlight,
with the force of the right to decide something better.
You can not stop the will of the people,
the path is drawn, the dream is evident and clear.
The will of the people can no longer be stopped,
The path has no return, the dream is in the corner.
Take the risk (Arrisca’t (v2))
We choose the voices that accompany us well. From here, from there,
Any sounds that vibrate with diversity belong to us
It’s up to us to change the fortune, so is it,
Than darkness and laziness take us away.
Let’s all come together
But above all, take the risk, take the risk
we will not advance if not,
We are the bet and the constancy makes us stronger!
Walk decided to make you feel good, eat your fear,
that only wants to make a rotten hole to the heart, you can not fall!
Because history lives in memory, you must be, brave,
It is necessary to accept reasons and facts, we have the right, to be free!
But above all, take the risk, take the risk
we will not advance if not,
We are the bet and the constancy makes us stronger!
Take the risk, take the risk, play it all for everyone.
