Posters on a vegetal riot
words: Maria-Mercè Marçal
music: Xavi Múrcia
traslation: Montserrat Abelló
Women, come down, come
to dance on the grass.
Let’s decorate our balconies
and dig the earth.
Let’s fill it with rain and sunshine.
;Let’s defend it with our teeth,
so the tree of freedom
may grow.
Let us sow there
The seed of green tenderness,
the wheat of excitement,
adventure and mint
and when it all blossoms
let’s announce it everywhere,
so the tree of freedom
may grow more and more.
Bearing wihin us
the flame of that riot
let’s put up our flags
at the top of the tower.
Flags that show the colours
of a new joy,
so the tree of freedom
may bloom.
We will free pigeons
to begin the celebration
and we will invent new roads
in skies without borders.
There will be hostels everywhere
and we will invite everyone
to taste the fruit from
the tree of freedom.
