The Assassin's Gear
L’EQUIP DE L’ASSASSÍ
Entre els desastres apilats com sacs,
la vida m’ha deixat el teu amor.
Tant se val el silenci de la nit,
el cotxe negre que ha apagat els fars
i el saxo que se sent, fluix a la ràdio.
El que ha de ser impecable és el dispar:
perillós i certer. Com tu en la meva vida.
THE ASSASSIN’S GEAR
Among the disasters piled up like sacks,
life has left me your love.
The silence of the night makes no difference,
neither does the black car with its lights switched off
or the saxophone heard, faintly, on the radio.
What must be faultless is the shot:
dangerous and sure. Like you in my life.
