about
Lyrics by the great Catalan poet Salvador Espriu
lyrics
A la vora del Iang-Tsé hi ha una princesa,
néta de l’emperador d’aquella terra.
Quan ploraven els flagells, ella somreia.
Diuen que no té bon cor la joveneta.
Però sap cançons suaus, paraules tendres.
Ai, qui us robi el primer bes, llavis de seda!
Una tarda, al mirador, de sobte veia
com marxava un cavaller cap a la guerra.
De seguida l’estimà l’alta donzella.
Preguntava pel seu nom, es vol prometre.
Mentrestant, a l’horitzó es varen perdre
els soldats i el capità, vers la Corea.
Faci sol o faci fred, la dama espera.
Fins li fuig la dolça son de les parpelles.
Passen dies, passen anys. Lànguids poetes,
de la història de passió, en fan llegenda.
Consumida per l’amor, es torna vella.
El seu cor, abans de gel, ara és cendra.
Als cabells, blancor de neu. Als ulls, la lenta
arribada d’una nit buida d’estrelles.
Sola, sola, prop del Iang, mor de tristesa.
Als jardins imperials, cignes la vetllen.
