Pa¡s Petit Small Country
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
El meu pa¡s ‚s tan petit My country is so small
que quan el sol se'n va a dormir that when the sun goes to sleep,
mai no est... prou segur d'haver-lo vist. he's never sure if he has seen it.
Diuen les velles s...vies Old wise women say,
que ‚s per aix• que torna. that's why he comes back.
Potser s¡ que exageren, Yes, maybe they exaggerate,
tant se val, ‚s aix¡ com m'agrada a mi who cares, that's the way I like
i no en sabria dir res m‚s. and I could say no more.
Canto i sempre en sabr‚ I sing and I'll always know
malalt d'amor pel meu pa¡s. sick of love for my country.

El meu pa¡s ‚s tan petit My country is so small
que des de dalt d'un campanar that up from a bell tower
sempre es pot veure el campanar ve¡. we can always see next one.
Diuen que els poblets tenen por, They say small towns are scared,
tenen por de ser massa grans, scared to be too big,
tant se val, ‚s aix¡ com m'agrada a mi who cares, that's the way I like
i no en sabria dir res m‚s. and I could say no more.
Canto i sempre en sabr‚ I sing and I'll always know
malalt d'amor pel meu pa¡s. sick of love for my country.

El meu pa¡s ‚s tan petit My country is so small
que sempre cap dintre del cor that there's always room in my heart
si ‚s que la vida et porta lluny d'aqu¡ if life takes you far from here
i ens fem contrabandistes and we become smugglers
mentre no descobreixin while they can't discover
detectors pels secrets del cor detectors for secrets from the heart
I ‚s aix¡, ‚s aix¡ com m'agrada a mi
And that's the way, that's the way i like it
i no en sabria dir res m‚s. and I could say no more.
Canto i sempre en sabr‚ I sing and I'll always know
malalt d'amor pel meu pa¡s. sick of love for my country.
