Hello RosaMaria, How're you doing? Thanks for all your love and support, also for being an amazing fan. It's nice meeting you here

This is a song in the Catalan language. In fact it is almost an unofficial Catalan anthem. Andrea's performance is superb. Here is the Catalan text, followed by an English translation. ------------------------------------ Diu que ha anat fent al seu aire Que ha fet vida a mil ciutats Que ha dormit en llocs que feien feredat I que tu, mare, mai haguessis aprovat Que estic content Que tot va bé Diu que està content Que tot va bé Hi ha com unes coordenades Diu que us ho ensenyi Que us ho posi al Google Maps I diu, que un dia de passada Va fer nit en un poble i que s'hi va acabar quedant Que és des d'aquí Des d'on escriu Que és des d'aquí Des d'on escriu Diu que té una casa lluny de tot I un quatre per quatre I quan baixa al poble a omplir al rebost Sabeu què li passa? Que el despatxa un avi que li fa pensar en algú Que li fa pensar en algú Ha estimat noies i dones Diu que més d'una li va fer perdre el nord Però diu (Però diu) Diu que amb aquestes coses ja se sap Quan menys t'ho esperes, és quan tens un cop de sort I que estan bé Que els hi va bé Diu que estan bé Que els hi va bé Diu que té una filla de tres anys Amb els teus ulls, pare Que ell sempre li parla en català I fot molta gràcia Perquè quan la posa al llit hi ha dies que confon Bona nit i pantalons Diu que vist en perspectiva Té molt clar que aquí no hagués estat feliç Però reconeix Que això de desaparèixer tan tranquil, sense avisar-nos És marxar amb molt poc estil I que amb el temps, que ho cura tot Tot s'anirà posant a lloc Diu que des del porxo Veu un cel, que no te'l acabes Que a la nit sempre surt a fumar I pensa en nosaltres I que per molt lluny que estigui, no hem de tenir por Quan s'hi hagi de ser hi serà Quan s'hi hagi de ser hi serà Diu que un dia hi hem d'anar Que l'avisem amb temps Però que té llits de sobres Diu que un dia hi hem d'anar Que l'avisem amb temps Però que té llits de sobres Diu que un dia hi hem d'anar Que l'avisem amb temps Però que té llits de sobres Diu que un dia hi hem d'anar Que l'avisem amb temps Però que té llits de sobres ------------------------------------ He says he's done things his own way, That he's lived in a thousand cities, That he's slept in scary places That you never would have approved of, Mom, That he's happy, that everything is going well. He says he's happy, that everything is going well. There's a set of coordinates. He says to show you, to put them in Google Maps. And he says that one day, just passing through, He spent the night in a town and ended up staying. That that's where he's writing from. He says he has a house that's far from everything, and an SUV. And when he goes into town to fill up the pantry, guess what? The old man at the checkout reminds him of someone, Reminds him of someone. He's loved girls and women. More than one has thrown him off course. But he says that in these matters, it's well known, When you least expect it, things start looking up. And that they're doing fine, that things are going well. He says that he has a three-year-old daughter with your eyes, Dad, That he always talks to her in Catalan and it's really funny, Because when he puts her to bed, sometimes she confuses 'Bona nit' [goodnight] and 'pantalons' [pants]. He says that, in retrospect, He's sure he wouldn't have been happy here, But he admits that just disappearing like that, without telling us, Was not a classy exit, And that as time, which heals all wounds, goes by, Everything will fall back into place. He says that from the porch the sky seems to stretch out forever, That at night he always goes out for a smoke and he thinks about us, And that, though he's very far away, we shouldn't worry When he has to be here, he will be. (Or: He is there because he has to be.) He says that one day we should go visit, That we should give him fair warning, But that he has beds to spare.
