Canvi de paradigma [English translation]

I had to excuse myself with the paradigm shift,

I left into the street and I ran home

to empty all of the drawers, to go through all of the papers,

to pile them up and see how they burned.

It was fast, the fire,

invigorating,

it was fast, the fire,

of flames full

of the barbarities which you and I had begun to say

of the barbarities which you and I had begun...

to say,

and they propagated to the horizon

to say,

and they educated the other person

to say,

always more illustrated than the others

to say,

and they paid very well at the end of the month.

With the paradigm shift, I preferred to second guess

I was never sure of what I was thinking.

I liked to stay on the patio with the radio purring

about the rumour of toppled statues.

About that rumor

on top of that beautiful song

about that rumour

of statues full

of the barbarities which you and I had begun to say

of the barbarities which you and I had begun...

to say,

and they propagated to the horizon

to say,

and they educated the other person

to say,

always more illustrated than the others

to say,

and they paid very well at the end of the month.

With the paradigm shift, they had to bury me

in this wasteland, with no name on the plaque

I offer you my gratitude for the white flowers and the eulogy at the funeral

I know that for a long time you didn't respect me.

And the flowers go well

with the hanging black cloths

behind a few friends

who remembered

the barbarities that you and I had begun to say.

The barbarities that you and I had begun to say.
