Lyrics " Helena "

Original text with translation

Helena

Joan Manuel Serrat

Original text

Fa dies que

Abocat al balcó

He perdut el jornal

Xerrant amb un pardal

Més avorrit que jo

O mirant com

S’esfulla un alzinar

Olorant romaní

Com tornen a florir

I es tornen a esfullar

Fa dies que no sé quants dies fa

Fa dies que m’estic dient… demà

I espero…

I espero…

Vivint amb res

Treballant per no res

I un dia com si res

Morir-me de no res

Adéu-siau.

Mercès

Al fons d’un bar

Fotent-me un perfumat

Per escalfar-me el cor

Mentre arriba la mort

A jugar al subhastat

Fa dies que no sé quants dies fa

Fa dies que m’estic dient… demà

I espero…

I espero…

I espero…

Abocat al balcó

Espero

Despullant l’horitzó

Espero

Espero per Nadal (Espero pel meu goig)

I per la Magdalena (i per la meva pena)

Pel dia i per la nit

Que torni Helena

Que torni Helena

I és que quan passa pel meu carrer

Fins el geranis li acluquen l’ull

L’aire es fa tebi amb el seu alè

I les llambordes miren amunt

Sa pell morena

Quan passa Helena…

Quan ella mira saps que la font

Quan ella vol, la dóna

Quan ella plora, saps què és el dol

Quan ella calla, tot jo tremolo

Quan ella estima, l’amor pren vol

I entre teulades es gronxa el sol

I els passerells dels fils de la llum

Miren gelosos com riu i es mou

Color d’espera llarga i perfum

De lluna plena

La meva Helena

La meva Helena…

Però…

Fa dies que

L’estar dret em fa mal

El reuma em trenca els dits

I ha fugit el darrer pardal

Song translation

It's been days

Poured onto the balcony

I lost my diary

Chatting with a sparrow

More boring than me

Or looking at how

A holm oak grove peels off

Smelling rosemary

How they bloom again

And they peel off again

I haven't known how many days ago

I've been telling myself for days… tomorrow

I hope

I hope

Living with nothing

Working for nothing

And one day as if nothing

Dying for nothing

Good bye.

Thanks

At the bottom of a bar

Fucking me with a perfume

To warm my heart

While death is coming

To play at auction

I haven't known how many days ago

I've been telling myself for days… tomorrow

I hope

I hope

I hope

Poured onto the balcony

I hope

Stripping the horizon

I hope

I'm waiting for Christmas (I'm waiting for my joy)

And for Magdalena (and for my grief)

By day and by night

Helena is back

Helena is back

And that's when he walks down my street

Even the geraniums close his eyes

The air is warm with his breath

And the cobblestones look up

In brown skin

When does Helena happen…

When she looks you know the source

When she wants, she gives it to him

When she cries, you know what grief is

When she is silent, I tremble

When she loves, love takes flight

And between the roofs the sun sways

And the catwalks of the threads of light

They look jealous as he laughs and moves

Long wait color and perfume

Full moon

My Helena

My Helena

But…

It's been days

Standing up hurts me

Rheumatism breaks my fingers

And the last sparrow has fled
