|
| I en Maurici va escoltar And Maurici heard
|
| Per segueix a terra sense fer-ne cas, but stays in land taking no notice
|
| Perqu uns altres li han dit tant because others said so much to him
|
| Que la seva vida s patir sota el fang that his life is suffer under mud

|
| D’aquell temps passat. |

|
| Ell ha marcat la teva vida He marked your life
|
| Amb una ferida with a wound

|
| I pensa que ja sap and thinks he knows
|
| El perqu dels mals. |

|
| I sortir… al carrer. |

|
| — 'encesa' can mean 'lighted' or 'burning |
