Jo hi sóc si tu vols ser-hi [English translation]

I'm here only if you want to be here,

I don't have any other truth.

Neither deceit not any other great mysteries:

Wherever you go, I shall go as well.

Without you, I have no country;

I don't have a tomorrow, either...

Thus, forever more

I keep the challenge.

Only if you go there, I shall go there!

I'm there is you also want to be there

So that we can build a road together;

Just for the joy of following the footsteps

That have allowed us to travel very far.

Just for the pleasure of having an exciting tomorrow

That we will like because it makes us feel well

As we remake the art of living,

Being able to live together

The dream of a fairer world!

You have your hands, you have your heart,

You hold the keys to open horizons filled with light!

Flags are worth nothing

If we can't use them as shelters

Against the cold of this long wait

For that great concept: freedom!

'Cause without you, all blazing flags

Are completely useless to me.

Neither symbols nor great legends

Shall make you surrender:

You're the one who propels the winds!

I'm here only because you want to be here

And nothing shall be easy,

Yet all the roads ahead

Will have a name and will have a purpose.

The delight of elevating this dream

Where all of us can find our place;

Let's create a shortcut

That, at last, will lead us

To a better world forever more!

You have your hands, you have your heart,

You hold the keys to open horizons filled with light!

I'm here only because you want to be here;

Otherwise, nothing ties me to this place.

For, without you, I cannot understand

The concepts of "tomorrow" or "country"...

I declare that all flags,

Symbols, nations and everything else,

Only when they are useful to you

Can I love them and make them mine.

We shall be (free) only if courage

Makes us go much further than this place.

We shall be (free) only if we're delighted

That we have won so much, so that we can share it...

We can only be a free nation

If her children are all free;

We shall only be (free) if we want to be

And this challenge makes us richer...

You have your hands, you have your heart,

You hold the keys to open horizons filled with light!
