Venim del nord, venim del sud - Lluís Llach, Feliu Ventura

Venim del nord,

venim del sud,

de terra endins,

de mar enllà,

i no creiem en les fronteres

si darrera hi ha un company

amb les seves mans esteses

a un pervindre alliberat.

I caminem per poder ser

i volem ser per caminar.

Venim del nord,

venim del sud,

de terra endins,

de mar enllà,

i no ens mena cap bandera

que no es digui llibertat,

la llibertat de vida plena

que és llibertat dels meus companys.

I volem ser per caminar

i caminar per poder ser.

Venim del nord,

venim del sud,

de terra endins,

de mar enllà,

i no sabem himnes triomfals

ni marcar el pas del vencedor,

que si la lluita és sagnant

serà amb vergonya de la sang.

I caminem per poder ser

i volem ser per caminar.

Venim del nord,

venim del sud,

de terra endins,

de mar enllà,

seran inútils les cadenes

d’un poder sempre esclavitzant,

quan és la vida mateixa

que ens obliga a cada pas.

I caminem per poder ser

i volem ser per caminar.

We come from the north,

we come from the south

inland,

overseas

and we don’t believe in borders

if there is a companion behind

with his hands outstretched

to a liberated pervindre.

And we walk to be able to be

and we want to be for walking.

We come from the north,

we come from the south

inland,

overseas

and it does not lead us to any flag

not to be called freedom,

full life freedom

which is the freedom of my comrades.

And we want to be for walking

and walk to be able to be.

We come from the north,

we come from the south

inland,

overseas

and we do not know triumphant hymns

nor mark the path of the victor,

that if the fight is bloody

he will be ashamed of the blood.

And we walk to be able to be

and we want to be for walking.

We come from the north,

we come from the south

inland,

overseas

the chains will be useless

of an ever enslaving power,

when it is life itself

which forces us to every step.

And we walk to be able to be

and we want to be for walking.
