  11. L’ESTACA (Lluis Llach) PeròSiset, fa molttempsjales mansse'm van escorxanti quan la força se me'n va ella es mésforta i més gran.  Ben cert sé que està podrida i és que, Siset, pesa tantque a cops la forçam'oblida, torna'm a dir el teucant.CORO L'aviSisetja no diu res, mal vent que se'l va emportar, ellquisapcap a quinindreti jo a sota el portal.  I, mentrepassenelsnousvailets, estiro el coll per cantar el darrercantd'enSiset, el darrer que em va ensenyar.  CORO L'aviSisetemparlavade bon matí al portal, mentre el sol esperàvemi els carros vèiempassar.  Siset, que no veusl'estacaa onestemtotslligats? Si no podemdesfer-nos-en mai no podrem caminar!  CORO Si estiremtots ella caurài molt de temps no pot durar, segur que tomba, tomba, tomba, ben corcada deu ser ja.  Si jol'estirofort per aquí i tu l'estiresfort per allà, segur que tomba, tomba, tombai enspodremalliberar.THE STAKE Grandpa Siset spoke to meEarly in the morning, at the front door,While we were waiting for the sun,And while we watched the wagons pass.Siset, can't you see the stakeWhere we all are tied?If we don’t untie ourselves from itWe’ll never be able to walk free!CHORUSIf we all haul, it will fallIt can't last much longer,For sure it will fall, fall, fall;It must be rotten by now.If I pull hard this way,And you pull hard that way,For sure it will fall, fall, fall,And we can free ourselves. But, Siset, it's been such a long time, now!My hands are skinned bare.And when my strength leaves meIt gets stronger and bigger.Yes, I know it's rotten,But you know, Siset, it weighs so much,That sometimes my strength abandons me.So sing me your song again:CHORUSGrandpa Sisetspeaks no moreAn evil wind took him awayTo who knows where. And I, here in the doorway,While the new boys pass by,Open my throat to singSiset's last song,The last thing he taught me. CHORUS
