Lili eder bat badut nik
but I do not dare to pick it up with my hands,
because I know the danger it is to look at it too much.
Beautiful flower, look at me and tell me if you really love me,
your eyes have hurt the deepest of my heart
and now my wound runs the risk of gangrene.
I do not want any misfortune happened to you by my fault.
I do not believe my eyes have never injured you.
Therefore, be not afraid, you will not die from it.
How well and tenderly do you speak.
I would like to have a brief visit,
much do I wish you will allow me that moment.
I may permit you, dear; I do not have a cruel heart,
but before I would like to know all your intentions,
people may wonder about your visit.
Certainly I am neither a count nor a noble,
it is not of such importance to draw the attention of anyone,
you are the simpleton filled with fantasies.
I know that I am simpleton and surely that is true,
but I think you well know what I say;
now I have my fortune, and precisely not given by you.
A lovely song from Iparralde, and to be a lovely song, it has to be impossible, like in most of the cases. It seems to be that the Basque tradition prefers to keep their successes in love in secret; it is the disappointment in love and the drama that overcomes the shame of intimacy, the main creators of the beauty.
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.
