My favourite song in Catalan

"BON DIA" (GOOD MORNING) BY: "ELS PETS" (THE FARTS)

Català

La vella Montserrat, desperta el barri,
a cops d'escombra tot cantant.
Les primeres persianes, s'obren feixugues badallant.
Rere el vidre entelat, el cafeter assegura que no era penal,
i es desfà la conversa igual que el sucre del tallat.

Bon dia, ningú ho ha demanat però fa bon dia.
Damunt els caps un sol ben insolent,
il·lumina descarat tot l'espectacle de la gent.

Al bell mig de la plaça,
la peixatera pren paciència amb la Consol,
que remuga i regala,
grans bafarades d'alcohol.

I al pedrís reposant,
l'avi Josep no es deixa perdre cap detall.
I amb l'esguard es pregunta,
quants dies més té de regal.

Bon dia...

Nens xisclant, olor a pixum de gat,
veïnes que un cop has passat et critiquen.
Gent llençant la brossa d'amagat.
I un retardat que amb ulls burletes et mira
i diu:

Bon dia...

English

The old Montserrat wakes the neighborhood up,
hitting everything with her broom and singing.
The first blinds open sluggisly.
Behind the misty glass the waiter assures,
that it wasn’t a penalty
and the conversation melts like sugar in a coffee.

Good morning, nobody has asked me but it’s a nice day.
Up on the heads, an insolent sun,
illuminates the people’s show shamelessly.

In the middle of the square,
the fishmonger is patientwith Consol,
that complains while,
her breath stings of alcohol.

And in the stone bench resting,
grandfather Josep pays attention to all the details,
and with a glimpse he wonders,
how many days he has left.

Good morning…

Children screaming
scent of cat piss,
Neighbors who once you have passed
criticize you.
People throwing the rubbish secretly.
An a mentally retarded who watches you with mocking eyes and says:

Good morning…
