Song: Un instant perdut
Artist: Dept.
Album: X (2009)
I want to understand the desire that has brought me here
Indefatigable and with such a desire to be able to say
how much I want to be able to be important and decisive
while I await the moment to be able to see once again
how your body dazzles me
so much that I can't see a thing
time stops for me here.
How, all of a sudden, it makes the order of so many things change.
I'm a moment lost in time.
Impossible to maintain the serenity
the waits are so long that around me
the air can't be breathed and my head only wants to think
about when the moment will arrive to be able to see once again
how your body dazzles me
so much that I can't see a thing
time stops for me here.
How, all of a sudden, it makes the order of so many things change.
I'm a moment lost in time.
(A fleeting moment, a weak light,
a light sigh, a lost moment...)

"L'home que treballa fent de gos" - Els Amics de les Arts
Song: L'home que treballa fent de gos
Artist: Els Amics de les Arts
Album: Bed & Breakfast (2009)
"The Man Who Works Dressing Up As a Dog"
The man who works dressing up as a dog at children's parties
dusts off his costume.
He gets into a run-down Seat Panda (that barely started up today)
and never can get past fourth gear.
Today he's been hired by a well-to-do family from the city
who live uptown.
He stops and gets ten euros' worth of gas (he doesn't have money for more)
and glances at the magazines.
The man who works dressing up as a dog at children's parties
And after all the time he's spent working disguised as a dog he still gets nervous
he rings the doorbell and waits for a response.
He bursts into the party with a cake singing "Cumpleaños Feliz!"
and just barely manages not to fall.
He makes figures with colored balloons and a lightsaber from Star Wars
and a bear, flowers, and a dinosaur.
The man who works dressing up as a dog at children's parties
signals the mistress of the house,
who invites him to have a cup of coffee while she signs the receipt
they can't find a conversation topic.
She takes him by the hand and leads him to the ironing room,
he hears the children from afar.
They make love like animals between shirts and jogging suits,
socks, kisses, and jackets.
The man who works dressing up as a dog exits as if he were famous,
as he sees the father arrive.
The man who works dressing up as a dog makes them all happy:
ten kids and a mother.
The man who works dressing up as a dog doesn't know what the heck is wrong with him,
He turns his eyes to the rear-view mirror, the woman is hugging that gentleman,
And at love he's no good at all.

"Jean-Luc" - Els Amics de les Arts
Song: Jean-Luc
Artist: Els Amics de les Arts
Album: Bed & Breakfast (2009)
We saw each other one summer night during a special series
of French cinema outdoors
My plan was to return home early but finally
everything drew out
and the two of us decided to go out for some fun.
It got late on us.
She said: "Don't get your car, if you want you can stay over.
In my apartment I've got a room just for guests.
I'm leaving a bedspread for you
Not for now, but later it gets really cold, you'll see.
If you're hungry or want water, help yourself,
You can do as if you were at home."
The way in which she said goodnight and winked was
easy to misinterpret.
I predicted a night for the ages,
climb a peak, do 8.000 metres,
do something difficult to equal.
But nothing was happening there,
just that silence
broken by my bed base.
Maybe I wasn't her type,
it was best not to do anything.
And on a far wall,
printed in black and white,
there was a poster of Godard.
Maybe he'd tell me,
because my head was spinning.
Oh Jean-Luc, oh Jean-Luc
I want to understand, but I can't.
He said that in cases like this one
it wasn't about being better-looking or uglier,
but rather having to conviction to do it.
I told him, "Yeah, but if I go there and she doesn't want to, then what? Then everything ends up a being a great bore".
He invited me to smoke
and in a long-take, a masterly phrase:
"A woman is a woman,
don't worry, it doesn't matter".
In the morning we had breakfast,
I didn't even look at her and when it was time to leave
she gave me a kiss that I'm still not sure how to interpret.
Oh Jean-Luc, oh Jean-Luc, I want to understand but I can't.

"Les meves ex i tu" - Els Amics de les Arts
Song: Les meves ex i tu
Artist: Els Amics de les Arts
Album: Bed & Breakfast (2009)
"My Exes and You"
Let me think,
how can I say this to you, let me think.
We need to talk,
let's get coffee, we need to talk.
I have to explain to you
that an American study
has found
that love only lasts so long.
And for those who likes statistics,
it says that 100% of this mysticism
ends up evaporating.
My exes and you
have so much in common
that, thinking about it frankly,
there is no difference between you,
and, thinking about it frankly,
maybe you'd all get along well,
you all provoke the same reaction in me.
Don't cry.
I'm doing it for you,
let it be clear that I'm doing it
for you.
Always for you.
Now I'll feel really crappy,
difficult days are coming,
but, well, I'll recover.
You, look for someone who understands,
I'll look for someone understandable,
and surely it won't be so bad for us.
My exes and you
have so much in common
that, thinking about it frankly,
there is no difference between you,
and, thinking about it frankly,
you all provoke the same reaction in me.
You live in lolli-land.
My exes and you,
maybe you'd all get along well,
or super well.

"Je t'aime" - Anna Roig i l'Ombre de Ton Chien
Song title: Je t'aime
Written by: Anna Roig
Artist: Anna Roig i l'Ombre de Ton Chien
Album: Anna Roig i l'Ombre de Ton Chien (2009)
Je t'aime, I tell you in French,
if you want, you can pretend not to have understood me.
Je t'aime, I tell you, but you already know,
you know everything that goes on in my head.
Je t'aime, and I know you me,
I see it in your eyes, I save you having to say it.
Je t'aime, and this makes me happy,
knowing that what I feel for you
you feel for me too.
Je t'aime, et oui je t'aime,
et oui tu m'aimes,
il est heureux, les amoreux
pendant que tu me regardes silencieux
