Per Nosaltres i els de Dalt Lyrics English Translation by Joan Dausà
Now that it costs us so much
to find a moment to see each other…
Now that it’s so hard
to forget the harm we’ve done…
Now that it’s so difficult
to laugh out loud
without feeling your heart tighten…
You open the door,
and everything melts away.
And it’s Christmas,
and you give me a hug
that speaks of anger
and the desire to be well.
We need to see each other more,
and the rest doesn’t matter.
And let’s toast
to us and those above.
And now we’re at the table,
and everyone is talking at once.
I look at each of you;
today, finally, I feel at home.
Uncle with the fork
taps a glass,
telling a story
that, amidst tears, makes us laugh.
And it’s Christmas,
and you give me a hug
that speaks of anger
and the desire to be well.
We need to see each other more,
and the rest doesn’t matter.
And let’s toast
to us and those above.
And I recognize a different light
that crosses the dining room.
May it stay forever,
or at least
until the fear falls asleep.
And it’s Christmas,
and you give me a hug
that speaks of anger
and the desire to be well.
We need to see each other more,
and the rest doesn’t matter.
And let’s toast
to us and those above.
And it’s Christmas,
and you give me a hug
that speaks of anger
and the desire to be well.
We need to see each other more,
and the rest doesn’t matter.
And let’s toast
to us and those above.
And let’s toast
to us and those above.
