Song of remorse
(Raimon)
filled full of memories,
when night is an old cupboard
and brings the song to us.
When you drink and you live bitterly
in this our loneliness,
when night is an old cupboard
and brings the song to us.
The song that always returns,
the song that returns always
when night is an old cupboard
and brings the song to us.
If you know where you come from
and where you don't want to go,
why does the struggle tire you,
and still make you afraid?
If you know what you want,
for what reason and for who don't you do it?
For what reason and for who?
Deep inside the words live,
the words that don't let us die
when night is an old cupboard
and brings the song to us.
The song that always returns,
the song that returns always
when night is an old cupboard
and brings the song to us.
If you know where you come from
and where you don't want to go,
why does the struggle tire you,
and still make you afraid?
If you know what you want,
for what reason and for who don't you do it?
For what reason, for who?
(1965)

El Covard (El cobarde) es el décimo disco publicado por el cantautor catalán Josep Andújar “Sé”. Incluye una habanera titulada Onades dins del cor (Olas en el corazón), escrita por el autor con música de Llorenç Fernández, canción que encarna la esencia de este nuevo trabajo realizado por un artista ligado a sus orígenes, al mar Mediterráneo, a la “Cançó de taverna” y marinera, a una cultura de tierra y mar que tras sus muchos años de oficio sigue aflorando en todas sus composiciones.
El cantautor barcelonés Enric Hernàez ha muerto a los 68 años. Considerado uno de los nombres más personales de la generación posterior a la Nova Cançó, exploró con libertad estilos como el pop, el jazz, la bossa nova y el rock, así como la musicalización de poesía.
