La barca del temps [English translation]

My beloved Roussillon

If you could only come (to me)

Aboard the boat of time,

With the Easterly wind from Alghero!

And you would feel in me

How very much alive and deeply-rooted and clear,

Is our Catalan speech

In Alghero.

How (the language) pronounces your name

And the city smiles...

You are so far away, my good friend,

On the cypress trees,

In that place where

The boat's sails and the path start to awaken the memories...

That path which was always so honest (with you),

The sea path that leads to Alghero.

If you could only come...

Aboard the boat of time

With the Easterly wind,

Aboard the boat of time.

How (the language) pronounces your name

And the city smiles...

You are so far away, my good friend...

From far away, my good friend...

If you could only come

Aboard the boat of time...
