Al vent

Raimon is an amazing Spanish musician who sings in the catalan language. His lyrics are inspirational. Here is one of them:

Al vent,
la cara al vent,
el cor al vent,
les mans al vent,
els ulls al vent,
al vent del món.

I tots,
tots plens de nit,
buscant la llum,
buscant la pau,
buscant a déu,
al vent del món.

La vida ens dóna penes,
ja el nàixer és un gran plor:
la vida pot ser eixe plor;
però nosaltres al vent,
la cara al vent,
el cor al vent,
les mans al vent,
els ulls al vent,
al vent del món.

I tots,
tots plens de nit,
buscant la llum,
buscant la pau,
buscant a déu,
al vent del món.

And here is the English translation:

In the wind,
our faces in the wind,
our hearts in the wind,
our hands in the wind,
our eyes in the wind,
in the wind of the world.

And we all,
all full of night,
we look for light,
we look for peace,
we look for god,
in the wind of the world.

Life gives us sorrows,
even being born is cause for weeping:
life may indeed be that weeping;
yet we are in the wind,
our faces in the wind,
our hearts in the wind,
our hands in the wind,
our eyes in the wind,
in the wind of the world.

And we all,
all full of night,
we look for light,
we look for peace,
we look for god,
in the wind of the world.
