Viatge a les cinc llunes en cercles radials.
Journey to the five moons in radial circles.
Avui arrenquem corrent al voltant de les cinc llunes donant-vos les gràcies.
Today we start running around five moons thanking you.
Ah, i també hem instal·lat la carpa del circ del Gran Fele en la redacció de les cinc llunes.
Ah, and we have also installed the Big Fele's circus tent in the office of the five moons.
Estem en evidència, en bona intel·ligència, harmonia en tots els aspectes.
We are in evidence, in good intelligence, harmony in all aspects.
No hi ha paranyos ni notes falses.
There are no traps or false notes.
Així de bé estem en les cinc llunes.
This is how well we are in the five moons.
Qui vol pujar al nostre sistema lunar?
Who wants to climb onto our lunar system?
Hola, em dic Sol Picó.
Hello, my name is Sol Picó.
I ja no sé si balla per viure o visc per ballar.
And I no longer know if I dance to live or I live to dance.
Perquè els temps que corren cada vegada celebre més el pujar a un escenari,
Because in these times I celebrate more and more going up on a stage,
ja que no sé si serà l'últim ball.
since I don't know if it will be the last dance.
La veritat és que espero que no.
The truth is that I hope not.
I em posa molt, molt contenta iniciatives amb noms tan bonics com aquests, les cinc llunes,
It makes me very, very happy to see initiatives with such beautiful names as these, the five moons.
perquè jo sé que hi ha molta gent que no podem viure sense cultura.
because I know that there are many people who cannot live without culture.
Per això sempre hem de lluitar per tindre-la present a les nostres vides.
That is why we must always fight to have it present in our lives.
Cultura radial.
Radial culture.
Me digáis que me calle, padre, no os atreváis.
Don't you dare tell me to be quiet, father.
O seguiréis paseando vuestra sotana por los campos verdes
Or you will continue walking your cassock through the green fields.
mientras yo me empudro en la tierra de este maldito reino.
while I rot in the land of this cursed kingdom.
¡No, no voy a rezar más!
No, I'm not going to pray anymore!
Soy Luis García Berlanga
I am Luis García Berlanga.
y para hacer un autorretrato mío
and to make a self-portrait of me
diría que el rasgo más característico sería el de la contradicción.
I would say that the most characteristic feature would be that of contradiction.
Ser o no ser.
To be or not to be.
Podemos así y cuando lo empiece así.
We can do it like this and when I start it like this.
Vale, Isabel, no sé qué, no sé cuánto.
Okay, Isabel, I don't know what, I don't know how much.
Vale, eso, nos ponemos así.
Okay, we'll go like this.
Posar en marcha una obra de teatre és bàsicament un treball d'equip,
Putting on a play is basically a team effort,
un procés meticulós,
a meticulous process,
on cada element ha d'encaixar a la perfecció amb els altres,
each element must fit perfectly with the others,
com si es tractara d'un engranatge de precisió.
as if it were a precision gear.
I clar, a l'hora de fer funcionar este mecanisme,
And of course, when it comes to making this mechanism work,
l'experiència és un grau.
Experience is a degree.
No només cal saber quines històries contar al públic,
Not only is it necessary to know which stories to tell the audience,
sinó també quina és la millor forma de portar-les a escena.
but also what is the best way to bring them to the stage.
Conta'ns, Guillem Nicolás.
Tell us, Guillem Nicolás.
De propostes, quan parlem de teatre,
Of proposals, when we talk about theater,
en podem trobar de tota classe,
we can find all kinds of them,
però en esta ocasió ens hem colat en un assalt general
but on this occasion we have slipped into a general assault
d'una obra d'aquelles que s'anomenen de repertori,
of a work of those that are called repertoire,
d'autors,
of authors,
d'aquelles en què els intèrprets centren tota l'atenció
of those in which the performers focus all the attention
i en què la comunicació amb el públic és total.
and in which communication with the public is total.
L'elecció no ha sigut a l'esart.
The choice was not at the esart.
Amb esta obra, titulada Las siete reinas,
With this work, titled The Seven Queens,
la companyia Arden celebra un doble esdeveniment.
The company Arden is celebrating a double event.
El seu 25è aniversari
His 25th anniversary
i els primers deu anys de vida de la sala Russafa,
...and the first ten years of the Russafa room's life,
un lloc que gestiona la mateixa empresa
a place that is managed by the same company
i on el teatre es viu en primera persona.
And in the theater, one experiences it in the first person.
Que se vaya el diablo.
Let the devil go.
Descobrim com va començar la seua història.
Let's discover how his story began.
Que, tot siga dit, té molta vora amb el temps passat.
That, all being said, has a lot to do with the past.
Hola, jo sóc Joan Carles Garés,
Hello, I am Joan Carles Garés.
el 50 d'Arden.
the 50 of Arden.
I jo sóc Xema Cardinya, l'altre 50.
And I am Xema Cardinya, the other 50.
Arden va néixer un poquet
Arden was born a little.
per les ganes que tenien, tant Xema com jo,
for the eagerness that both Xema and I had,
de posar en peu textos que d'alguna forma
to put in place texts that in some way
poguessin donar una alternativa al consum del teatre clàssic.
could provide an alternative to the consumption of classic theater.
Però, òbviament,
But, obviously,
amb el temps que va passar,
with the time that passed,
amb una contemporaneïtat absolutament rabiosa.
with an absolutely rabid contemporaneity.
El que passa és que, realment,
What happens is that, really,
Arden va néixer d'una anècdota.
Arden was born from an anecdote.
Una anècdota que era que ell i jo,
An anecdote is that he and I,
semblàvem mogolló,
we looked like a crowd,
tota la gent es confonia,
everyone was confused,
i jo vaig escriure un text per a ell
And I wrote a text for him.
perquè la gent, per fi,
because people, finally,
pogués separar-se d'un altre.
could separate from another.
...y que se han apoderado de mi cuerpo
...and that have taken over my body.
con sus infernales maleficios.
with their infernal spells.
Miló, el tierno cariño que os profeso
Milo, the tender affection that I have for you.
me autoriza más que ningún otro
he authorizes me more than anyone else
a condenar los culpables,
to condemn the guilty,
quienes quieran.
whoever wants.
Quiera que fueren, digo que merecen.
Whatever they may be, I say they deserve it.
En aquell moment, realment, no estava de moda.
At that moment, it really wasn't in fashion.
Es deien...
They were called...
Ahí nos aneu a menjar un colín.
There you are going to eat a little bun.
Vull dir,
I mean,
ahí se expirimaron en escena
there they expired on stage
vestits d'època, això...
period costumes, this...
Precisament per això, perquè no hi havia res.
Exactly for that reason, because there was nothing.
D'això, en aquell moment,
At that moment,
va quallar
it took shape
i va agradar molt.
I liked it a lot.
No me juzgues, pequeño potro,
Don't judge me, little colt,
no te atrevas a juzgarme.
don't you dare judge me.
¿Acaso no vivimos en paz?
Don't we live in peace?
No hay riqueza en el imperio,
There is no wealth in the empire,
no he conseguido que las más grandes mentes del mundo
I have not managed to get the greatest minds in the world.
vengan a esta Rusia triste y paupérrima.
Come to this sad and impoverished Russia.
Todo el mundo nos respeta.
Everyone respects us.
Esa es la labor de una reina.
That is the work of a queen.
Yo la verdad es que entré en Arden al principio
Actually, I entered Arden at first.
para hacer la tarea de distribución.
to do the distribution task.
Entonces estuve unos años distribuyendo
So I spent a few years distributing.
y luego ya pasé a hacer otras mil tareas.
and then I moved on to do a thousand other tasks.
Nos hicimos socios,
We became partners,
empezamos con la sala Rusafa
We start with the Rusafa room.
y de ahí hasta ahora.
and from there until now.
Han pasado 16 años para mí volando.
Sixteen years have flown by for me.
Aquí hem escoltat és David Campillos,
Here we have heard it is David Campillos,
la tercera pota en la família d'Arden,
the third leg in the Arden family,
un suport fonamental per a la companyia
a fundamental support for the company
perquè el món del teatre
because the world of theater
avui va molt més enllà del que passa damunt de l'escenari.
Today goes far beyond what happens on stage.
Puedo hacer lo que siempre he hecho.
I can do what I have always done.
Tengo ganas de reír, de cantar, de llorar,
I feel like laughing, singing, crying,
de vivir, de gozar.
to live, to enjoy.
Pero este puto espejo me grita
But this damn mirror screams at me.
¡Catalina!
Catalina!
¡Es mi vida!
It's my life!
¡Catalina!
Catherine!
Sí, era una aspiració des del principi.
Yes, it was an aspiration from the beginning.
Des que començàvem a treballar
Since we started working
algun dia tindrem un teatre.
One day we will have a theater.
I ahí estem, és un bacalao.
And there we are, it's a cod.
D'això si em preguntes si ho tornaria a fer
If you ask me if I would do it again.
no ho tinc tan clar.
I don't have it that clear.
No està tan clar, és de veritat.
It's not so clear, it is true.
Perquè nosaltres, al canvi de la fi,
Because we, at the end of the change,
som creadors.
we are creators.
I portar un teatre és realment
To carry a theater is really
la gestió d'un teatre privat
the management of a private theatre
i les condicions en què estem a València
and the conditions we are in Valencia
és prou complicat.
it's quite complicated.
Ens vam veure obligats, d'alguna manera,
We felt compelled, in some way,
a ser empresaris.
to be entrepreneurs.
Molt entre cometes, però empresaris.
Very much in quotes, but businessmen.
Aleshores, jo crec que avui en dia
So, I believe that nowadays
som les dues coses alhora.
we are both things at once.
Som creatius, som creadors,
We are creative, we are creators,
som intèrprets i som també gestors,
we are interpreters and we are also managers,
òbviament.
obviously.
Quan començàvem nosaltres
When we began
estava quasi tot per fer.
there was almost everything to do.
S'ha creat
It has been created.
un teixit fràgil,
a fragile fabric,
feble, vulnerable,
weak, vulnerable,
per supòs.
of course.
Això és el que jo dic, l'evolució.
This is what I call evolution.
En aquest sentit...
In this sense...
Ara, els sistemes
Now, the systems
són molt semblants, però no han millorat.
They are very similar, but they have not improved.
No, i és molt greu perquè fa 38 anys
No, and it's very serious because it's been 38 years.
i realment, sí, es va crear teatre,
and really, yes, theater was created,
però als 10 anys
but at the age of 10
es va destruir.
It was destroyed.
Estem sempre començant.
We are always starting.
Avançar, insistir, treballar,
Advance, insist, work,
construir, refer.
to build, to refer.
I quan sembla que has arribat allà
And when it seems that you have arrived there
on volies estar,
where you wanted to be,
mirar enrere i tornar a començar,
look back and start over,
amb la convicció que el més important
with the conviction that the most important
és el camí recorregut.
it's the path traveled.
Ixa és, precisament,
That is precisely
una de les claus de l'èxit d'Arden,
one of the keys to Arden's success,
de Joan Carles, de Txema i de David,
of Joan Carles, of Txema and of David,
que no tenen por de mirar al passat
that are not afraid to look at the past
per a pensar un futur millor.
for thinking of a better future.
Això no tots ho poden dir.
Not everyone can say this.
L'últim exemple és
The last example is
la reestrena d'esta obra,
the reopening of this work,
que repassa la història d'algunes de les dones
that reviews the history of some women
més poderoses
more powerful
de tots els temps.
of all time.
¿No ha llegado el perdón?
Has forgiveness not arrived?
¡Maldita puta hereje!
Damn whore heretic!
No me pila la designación cristiana, padre.
The Christian designation doesn't fit me, father.
No quiero tenerla.
I don't want to have her.
No me da la gana.
I don't feel like it.
Me la he cortado en mi cabeza
I have cut it on my head.
como si fuese un pavo, viejo.
Like a turkey, old man.
Nosaltres sempre ho hem dit.
We have always said it.
Nosaltres el que hem fet és parlar-ne des del passat.
What we have done is talk about it from the past.
Però perquè és un truco.
But because it's a trick.
Tu captes més l'atenció del públic
You capture the audience's attention more.
quan estàs posant situacions quotidianes,
when you are setting everyday situations,
però tu estàs datant-les
but you are dating them
fa quatre o cinc segles.
four or five centuries ago.
Això és molt més interessant.
This is much more interesting.
Nosaltres tenim una cosa molt bona
We have something very good.
que hem tingut sempre.
that we have always had.
És el públic.
It's the audience.
El públic mai ens ha fallat.
The audience has never let us down.
¿Dónde está el Papa?
Where is the Pope?
¿Y dónde está Dios?
And where is God?
No, yo no las veo, padre.
No, I don't see them, father.
Yo solo le pido cuentas a Dios.
I only ask God for answers.
Me lo debe.
He owes it to me.
En las luchas de católicos y protestantes
In the struggles between Catholics and Protestants
fui fiel a la fe de mis padres.
I was faithful to my parents' faith.
Y ahora Dios me recompensa con la muerte
And now God rewards me with death.
mientras que ayuda a esa hereje.
while she helps that heretic.
El tema dels Borbons, per exemple,
The topic of the Bourbons, for example,
es que el padre Juan estaba muy bien,
It's just that Father Juan was very well.
pero es que hoy en día ha agarrado un cariz
but nowadays it has taken on a character
que es muy mal actuado.
that is very poorly acted.
Y es increíble, pero es que sí que funciona en el China.
And it's incredible, but it really does work in China.
El primer formatatge fue Siete reinas,
The first format was Seven Queens,
luego ya vino Ocho reinas,
then came Eight Queens,
luego Revolución, Alicia en Wonderland,
then Revolution, Alice in Wonderland,
ya cada año hemos hecho un espectáculo nuevo,
every year we have created a new show,
y pues llevamos así diez años,
and well, we've been this way for ten years,
haciendo teatro con música en directo,
doing theater with live music,
cosa que realmente es un lujo poder hacer eso.
thing that is really a luxury to be able to do that.
En esta función, en Siete reinas,
In this play, in Seven queens,
además el formato musical es bastante marciano,
furthermore, the musical format is quite unusual,
porque somos solamente un bajo eléctrico y una voz.
because we are just a bass guitar and a voice.
Y con eso intentamos hacer versiones de clásicos
And with that we try to make versions of classics.
que todo el mundo reconoce
that everyone recognizes
y que siempre tienen que ver en algo
and that they always have to relate to something
con lo que está pasando o con lo que va a pasar.
with what is happening or with what is going to happen.
Y rindo.
And I surrender.
Eres la perra más veloz del mundo.
You are the fastest dog in the world.
Pero no te lo creas mucho.
But don't take it too seriously.
La culpa ha sido de esta puta corona.
The blame has been on this damn crown.
Se empeñan en que la lleve puesta.
They insist that I wear it.
Piensan que soy tonta.
They think I'm foolish.
Me debo llevarla para no olvidar que soy reina.
I must take her with me so I don't forget that I am a queen.
Mamarrachos.
Rascals.
Solo es una corona.
It's just a crown.
¿Y sabes para qué sirve?
And do you know what it's for?
Para que todos se inclinen a mi paso.
So that everyone bows at my passing.
Para obedecer y servirme.
To obey and serve me.
Teatre, música, dansa, dramatúrgia...
Theatre, music, dance, dramaturgy...

Every stone makes a wall when it comes to achieving.
l'objectiu de qualsevol creador.
the objective of any creator.
Que el públic entenga la seva obra

Arden sembla haver trobat la seva pròpia recepta.
Arden seems to have found her own recipe.
I tant de bo seguisca funcionant
I hope it continues to work.

Els espectadors i espectadores ho agrairan.
The spectators will appreciate it.
Que se vayan a la mierda.
They can go to hell.
Majestat.
Your Majesty.
Majestat, deveis elegir esposo.
Your Majesty, you must choose a husband.
Majestat, deveis dar un heredero al rei.
Your Majesty, you must provide an heir to the king.
No queríamos que esto fuera solamente un teatro,
We didn't want this to just be a theater,
porque tenemos también cursos de formación durante todo el año,
because we also have training courses throughout the year,
programas de residencias y de todo.
residency programs and everything.
O sea, es que yo creo que no sé lo que no hemos hecho,
So, I mean, I think I don't know what we haven't done,
porque hemos hecho de todo.
because we have done everything.
O sea, que no es solamente una sala donde la gente venga,
In other words, it's not just a room where people come.
se sienta y vea una obra de teatro y ya está,
sit down and watch a play and that's it,
sino que fuera mucho más que eso.
but rather much more than that.
Algo que dinamizará también el barrio,
Something that will also energize the neighborhood,
que la gente lo considere como su casa,
that people consider it as their home,
su segunda casa.
her second home.
Si algun sector ha eixit vencedor,
If any sector has emerged victorious,
per dir-ho d'alguna manera,
to put it somehow,
no en quan a l'econòmic,
not in terms of the economic,
però sí en valor, és el teatre.
but indeed in value, it is the theater.
Crec que la gent se n'ha adonat que el teatre és insubstituïble.
I believe that people have realized that theater is irreplaceable.
I avui en dia és un tipus d'oferta cultural

Llevaba un par de muñecos, el Fellón y el Fellín,
I had a couple of dolls, the Fellón and the Fellín,
y hacía chistes, cantaba canciones...

Humor, en realidad.
Humor, actually.
Él llevaba una compañía de payasos,
He led a troupe of clowns,
y ahí es cuando mi hermano y yo empezamos a ayudarle,

Y ahí es cuando nos empezamos a formar como payasos.

No pensábamos tener un premio Max a las artes escénicas,

That generational change happened more than 45 years ago,
és a dir, quasi mig segle de vida, sembla que tot ha canviat.
That is to say, almost half a century of life, it seems that everything has changed.
I ha canviat tant que aquell espectacle de pallassos
It has changed so much that that clown show
ha esdevingut un referent a escala mundial,
has become a global benchmark,
portant els seus números de trapezistes i acrobacos,
carrying their trapeze and acrobatic acts,
fins a països com Cuba o Colòmbia.
up to countries like Cuba or Colombia.
I tot sota la figura omnipresent del seu líder, el Gran Fele,

and from its particular nature, a distinctive identity mark.
Rafa Pla ens va deixar el passat octubre de 2020.

Després d'un any de pandèmia,
After a year of the pandemic,
la vida ens ha canviat a tots
Life has changed us all.
i ens hem hagut d'adaptar a un nou escenari de confinament
and we have had to adapt to a new confinement scenario
on la proximitat i els llocs xicotets
where proximity and small places
se'ns han desvelat com un nou espai de convivència.
it has been revealed to us as a new space for coexistence.
El nostre paisatge sonor
Our soundscape
ha canviat també,
it has also changed,
com tantes coses en la nostra vida.
like so many things in our life.
Avui farem un xicotet recorregut
Today we will take a short tour.
per a eixos paisatges quotidians
for those everyday landscapes
de distàncies curtes i d'horitzons sonors.
of short distances and sound horizons.
De portes endins,
Inside,
la majoria hem hagut d'aprendre
most of us have had to learn
a conviure amb paisatges sonors reduïts,
to coexist with reduced soundscapes,
a uns pocs metres quadrats.
in just a few square meters.
.
Please provide the text you would like me to translate from Catalan to English.
De distàncies curtes en sabem prou
We know enough about short distances.
els que no es poden permetre terrasses,
those who cannot afford terraces,
jardins o grans balcons,
gardens or large balconies,
els que per les circumstàncies
those who due to the circumstances
viuen en pisos plens fins al límit,
they live in apartments full to the limit,
en blocs de pisos massificats

on amb prou faenes en tenim per a tirar endavant.
We hardly have enough to get by.
Fins i tot els que tenim xiquets
Even those of us who have small children.
sabem perfectament que les distàncies curtes
we know perfectly well that short distances
i la falta d'espai ha sigut una batalla en el dia a dia.
And the lack of space has been a daily battle.
A tots nosaltres el que ens ha passat
What has happened to all of us
és que se'ns ha reduït l'horitzó sonor.
Our sonic horizon has been reduced.
Què és això de l'horitzó sonor?
What is this about the sound horizon?
Doncs l'horitzó sonor és la distància màxima
Well, the sound horizon is the maximum distance.
que ens separa a nosaltres com a oients
what separates us as listeners
del so més llunyà que podem escoltar.
of the farthest sound we can hear.
Per això, si ens ha tocat passar el confinament
Therefore, if we have to go through the confinement
en un pis xicotet,
in a small apartment,
el nostre horitzó sonor
our sonic horizon
difícilment arriba als 40 metres,
it hardly reaches 40 meters,
per posar una xifra.
to put a figure.
En este horitzó reduït
In this reduced horizon
els sons no són menys que en l'exterior,
the sounds are no less than in the outside,
però sí que són més xicotets,
but they are indeed smaller,
petits i propers.
small and close.
I en ells, com a consol,
And in them, as a consolation,
hi podem trobar una musicalitat,
there we can find a musicality,
una bellesa o, si més no,
a beauty or, at least,
una riquesa de colors, timbres i textures.
a wealth of colors, timbres, and textures.
Com ja sabeu els oients benvinguts d'esta secció,
As you already know, the welcome listeners of this section,
així el so està per gaudir-lo.
thus the sound is meant to be enjoyed.
De fet, si vos fixeu,
In fact, if you pay attention,
per xicotet que sigui el vostre domicili,
no matter how small your home is,
ja hi teniu un paisatge únic i irrepetible.
You already have a unique and unrepeatable landscape.
Ple de sons que vos són familiars.
Full of sounds that are familiar to you.
Ara mateix esteu escoltant
Right now you are listening.
sons que s'escolten a casa meua
sounds that can be heard in my home
i, per tant, són sons prou reconeixibles
and, therefore, they are sufficiently recognizable sounds
per la meva bombolla de convivència.
for my living bubble.
Però si en acabar d'escoltar la secció
But if after finishing listening to the section
i el programa vos pareu en silenci
and the program you stop in silence
i penseu en eixos sons
And think about those sounds.
que fa la vostra casa,
How is your home?
immediatament vos adonareu que eixes sonoritats
you will immediately notice that those sound qualities
són l'assignatura acústica del vostre espai.
They are the acoustic subject of your space.
Tota eixa sinfonia és un paisatge únic
That entire symphony is a unique landscape.
que de vegades pot ser reconfortant recordar-lo
that sometimes it can be comforting to remember it
si poguem estar lluny d'ell
if we could be far from him
i de vegades, per a molta gent,
and sometimes, for many people,
es torna una dura realitat.
it becomes a hard reality.
Però no per això deixa de ser interessant
But that doesn't make it any less interesting.
que escoltem o simplement que hi reflexionem.
that we listen to or simply that we reflect on.
Però no només ha canviat el paisatge sonor
But not only has the sound landscape changed.
de les nostres coses i cases, veritat?
of our things and houses, right?
No, no. De fet, el paisatge sonor
No, no. In fact, the soundscape
que més ha canviat durant el confinament dur,
what else has changed during the strict lockdown,
dels 45 dies de la primavera de 2020,
of the 45 days of spring 2020,
va ser el de les ciutats.
it was the one of the cities.
Així que tothom coincideix a dir
So everyone agrees to say
que és un paisatge sonor silenciat.
what is a silenced soundscape.
Ei, però de silenci res, no?
Hey, but no silence, right?
Exacte.
Exactly.
El que passa amb el paisatge sonor urbà
What happens with the urban soundscape
no és que les ciutats en mudiren o se silenciaren,
it's not that the cities changed or fell silent,
sinó que, tot d'una, el paisatge sonor
but suddenly, the soundscape
és netejar de dos elements que regnen per damunt de tot.
It is to cleanse of two elements that reign above all.
El primer, el trànsit rodat,
The first, road traffic,
i el segon, nosaltres i tot el que hi aportem a la ciutat,
and the second, us and everything we contribute to the city,
des de les celebracions fins a les manifestacions,
from celebrations to demonstrations,
passant pel guirigall al qual solíem aferrar-nos.
passing through the commotion we used to cling to.
En desaparèixer la gent i els vehicles,
As the people and vehicles disappeared,
tothom s'afanya a dir que les ciutats
everyone rushes to say that cities
s'havien quedat en silenci,
they had remained silent,
però no podria estar més en desacord amb eixa descripció.
but I couldn't disagree more with that description.
Recordeu que hem parlat d'eixe horitzó sonor
Remember that we talked about that sonic horizon.
reduït de les nostres cases?
reduced from our homes?
Doncs bé, al carrer,
Well, on the street,
l'horitzó sonor s'ha expandit d'una forma extraordinària
The sound horizon has expanded in an extraordinary way.
durant el confinament.
during the lockdown.
Tot el que el trànsit no ens deixava sentir,
Everything that traffic did not allow us to hear,
de sobte era audible.
suddenly it was audible.
De colp, de finestres en fora,
Suddenly, from windows outside,
podíem escoltar a moltíssima distància.
we could hear from a great distance.
I no sols podíem escoltar
And we could not only listen
a moltíssima distància,
at a great distance,
sinó que tot el que ens envoltava
but everything that surrounded us
ens arribava a les orelles,
it reached our ears,
clarament i de forma cristal·lina.
clearly and in a crystal clear manner.
Durant 45 dies, malgrat les circumstàncies,
For 45 days, despite the circumstances,
hem pogut gaudir d'un pagès et sonor
we have been able to enjoy a sonorous countryside
ric i de qualitat,
rich and of quality,
on l'únic que trencava la netedat dels sons
where the only thing breaking the purity of the sounds
era el macabre anar i venir de les ambulàncies
it was the macabre coming and going of the ambulances
i, per altra banda,
and, on the other hand,
la cita ineludible de les 8 de la vesprada.
the unmissable appointment at 8 in the evening.
Tota eixa experiència sensitiva única
All that unique sensory experience
