Genius English Translations
Els Amics de les Arts - Louisiana o els camps de cotó (English Translation)
He says that he's been going his own way
That he's lived in a thousand cities
That he's slept in places that were scary
And that you, mom, would never have approved of
He's content, everything's going well
He says he's content, everything's going well
There's some coordinates here
He says I should show you, I should put it into Google Maps for you
And he says that one day in passing
He spent the night in a town and ended up staying there
That's where he's writing from
That's where he's writing from
He says he has a house far away from everything and a 4x4
And when he goes down to the town for groceries, you know what happens?
The guy at the checkout is an old man who reminds him of someone
Who reminds him of someone
He's loved girls and women
He says more than one of them made him lose his way
But he says that with these things, as you know,
When you least expect it is when you have a stroke of luck
And they're fine, things are going well for them
He says they're fine, things are going well for them
He says he has a three-year-old daughter with your eyes, dad
He always speaks to her in Catalan and it's very funny
Because when he puts her to bed, there are days when he mixes up
The words for "goodnight" and "pants"
He says that in hindsight
He's sure that he wouldn't have been happy here
But he recognizes that the way he disappeared so quietly without telling us
Is leaving with very little style
And as time passes, healing all wounds,
Everything will gradually fall into place
He says that from the porch he sees an endless sky
That at night he goes out to smoke and he thinks about us
And no matter how far away he is, we don't need to be afraid
When he needs to be there, he'll be there
When he needs to be there, he'll be there
He says that we must visit on day, we should tell him ahead of time but he has spare beds
He says that we must visit on day, we should tell him ahead of time but he has spare beds
He says that we must visit on day, we should tell him ahead of time but he has spare beds
He says that we must visit on day, we should tell him ahead of time but he has spare beds
