Cançó de l'amor petit [English translation]

I have a tiny

and gourmand love

like an infant.

An abusive love

which bites the lure

and doesn’t swallow the hook.

I have a generous love,

vermilion and juicy

like a pomegranate.

I have a love friendly

which kills with pleasure

and which dies by envies.

Neither blind,

neither tragic,

without pact.

Neither endless,

Neither magical

Neither rented.

Overcoming me by floods

I have a tiny love

I have a tiny love

 

I have a tiny love.

new like

the maturity time

which consumes itself like a wood chip,

it comes by horse

and climbs up to the balconies.

I have a love comrade

which doesn’t bring souvenirs

and neither leaves tokens

I have a love for you

which starts to dance

if you wind it up.
