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.
