Façanes de paper,
portes que no tanquen,
la llum del carrer
al plat, al got i al calze
(ves i compra'm paper de Manila,
deu pams,
que vull vestir-te d'estiu:
vine, alça el cap, gira't)
A translation:
Paper façades,
doors that don't shut,
the light from the street
on the plate, in the cup, in the chalice
(go and buy some pattern paper,
ten handspans,
for i want to dress you up in summer:
come, lift your head, turn round)
