Vell és tan bell

I opened the door and
you had your hands intertwined
the shame of the gesture and
you separated so much tenderness
you looked with your head down and
as if nothing had happened, hello Lluís, how are you...

You thought that so grown up
there's no need to do these things,
you thought that with age
it doesn't have the charm of the young,
what will people say,
better be more discreet and...

I couldn't tell you
how much I liked seeing you,
I couldn't say how
your joy so shy (love)
opened spaces of love / demanded by the world
where it was written that... / the right to say that

old is so beautiful
old is so beautiful
that the limits open
of time, of art, of song, of me and you, of the world... life.

Today I remember you just like this / just
now that we live among the shadows,
doing and redoing the verb to love
with the art of a rare wisdom,
knowing how to die at every moment / a little
and be by your side forever.

They tell you that so grown up
there's no need to do these things,
they tell you that with age
there's no charm of the young,
what will people say,
better be discreet...

I couldn't tell you
how much I liked seeing you,
I couldn't say how
your joy so shy
proclaimed to the world
your right to say

old is so beautiful
old is so beautiful
that the lines are filled
of time, of art, of song, of you and me, of the world... life.
