I - By way of introduction

I

Today was hectic. Could that been a turning point?

All these questions send me scurrying for cover,

and I'll have to leap over the railings on my own.

I don't have a bean, but I'm growing old gracefully:

the sun casts an eye over my receding hair.

With good grace I've harboured doubts.

All the better for me, all along on the ball.

My life leaves a lot to be desired,

don't be mislead by the occasional shining word.

[A mode d'introducció]

Avui ha estat de bojos. Podria haver estat un punt d'inflexió?
Aquestes preguntes em fan córrer a protegir-me,
i hauré de saltar per damunt de la tanca tot sol.
No tinc un duro, però envelleixo dignament:
el sol clava un ull damunt les meves entrades.

De bona gana he albergat dubtes.

Tant millor per a mi, de sempre alerta.

La meva vida deixa molt que desitjar,

no et deixis enganyar per alguna paraula brillant.
