Els entusiasmats [English translation]

Here we want to live excited

Here we start fires which set that feeling alight

Here we choose to live excited

Here we start fires which set that feeling alight

On some nights, the Parc de l’Escorxador1 used to fill with shadows, there was a war

against the sad people of El Putxet and the sarcastic people of Badal, against the losing side from La Creueta2.

I was a highly-ranked cynic from Horta, I was giving orders from the rear

when a car braked and some strangers surrounded me.

They gagged me and the one who was in charge said, we bring a few words,

they're not an order, nor are they articles of some law; you feel them within, you don't obey them.

They have been seen to convince people from those in your situation to the most worn out

but don't worry, we won't judge you here, don't be afraid of asking stupid questions.

If there's anything that my people and I want

it's not to serve as an example, it's not to be right.

If there's anything we yearn for, it's vibration

the sparkle of madness in the eyes of the inventor.

Here we want to live excited.

I woke up hours later, I found change for the journey in my closed fist.

The note said, if one fortunate day you decide to contact us, leave a candle in the window.

We're organized, we live in society, we bump into you on the corner,

we go to the supermarket, to the hairdressers, we make plans for the weekend.

If there's anything that my people and I want

it's not to serve as an example, it's not to be right.

If there's anything we yearn for, it's vibration

it's to contemplate the great show of a synapse in action.

The enemy is very smart, and he beats us in both resources and numbers,

he knows what he wants and he gets it.

The enemy spends his summers right on the coast

and he's not taking prisoners.

Here we want to live excited

Here we start fires which set that feeling alight

Here we choose to live excited

Here we prefer a good story over the truth.

With lots of details, with lots of details.
