Crec que ja tocava escriure’t,
a tu, que tant t’hem plorat,
maleït i odiat.
A tu, qui culpavem de la nostra sort,
com si fossis d’un altre hort.
A tu, qui ens impedies i limitaves,
fent tota cura debades.
A tu, causa de patiment,
dolor i sofriment.
Però, a tu, l’impulsor, també,
qui tant ens ensenyaves,
amb la teva persistència,
motor de tres vides,
llaurador d’eterna paciència.
A tu, qui enforties i unies,
la nostra familia tots els dies.
A tu, que ens donaves un motiu
per buscar més ellà, un mot viu.
A tu, et recordo, singular germà.
//
It is time I write to you,
You, for whom we have cried,
cursed and hated.
You, who we blamed for our fate
as if you were an stranger.
You, who hindered and limited us,
making all cares vain.
You, cause of suffering,
sorrow and pain.
But you, booster too,
who taught us much,
your persistence
pushing us through,
farmer of patience.
You, who united
our family every day.
You, who gave us a reason
to go beyond.
I remember you, singular brother.
