Jose Carreras, " Volies Perdre't "

Josep Carreras, "Volies Perdre't ", from CD "Seven songs by Joan Massià ", 2006, "Set cançons sobre poemes de Tomàs Garcés" (with lyrics). Piano, David Gimenez

Volies perdre't en el bosc (You wanted to get lost in the woods)
- el bosc no te frontera -
?No saps que jo t'hauria vist
per molt que t'allunyessis?

El teu batec i el teu sospir
en la verdor marina
de la fageda, breu ocell,
haurien dit on eres.

I pel cami mes perdedor,
sota les branques fosques,
hi hauria el testimoni blanc
d'alguna pedra marbre.

Voldries perdre't en el bosc,
fageda sense ribes,
i t'ha cridat com un palmell
la clariana nua.

Hi arribaras en fer-se fosc
sota els estels impavids.
Vora un caliu esmorteit
et sentiras perduda.

Tindras els ulls esbatanats,
cansats del verd naufragi.
T'abracare contra el meu pit
i et tornare a la vida.
English translation (attempt)

You wanted to get lost in the woods
- Woods have no frontier -
Aren't you aware that I would be seeing you
no matter how far you would go?

Your heartbeat and your sigh
sounding within the beech green sea,
the quick singing of a bird,
would have said where you were

And under the dark branches
of the most somber way
the white witness
of some marble stone
would be rising

You wanted to get lost in the woods.
beech without shores.
but the naked light called you,
as if it was a palm

You will come with the dark
Under the starts, undauted.
and will feel lost
by a cushioned smoldering

Your eyes will be closed ,
tired by the green wreck.
Will embrace you, pulling you tight against my chest
and give back life to you
