Ramon receives me on the terracewith a device that counts his steps.He says he has to walk every day.He tightens his watch on his wrist before sitting down.When I tell him why I've comehe asks if I'd like a glass of water.I don't answer the first time.He asks me about the glass again.You shook your head.Leave the counting, listen to me first.Don't go, we haven't finished.He says they'd made him responsiblefor work that came from above.“You never gave me back the smock.”My hand lies flat on my thigh.I ask him to come with meto tell Andreu what happened.The device makes a little sound.He looks at the number and tells me no.You shook your head.Leave the counting, listen to me first.He gets up because the device tells him to.I leave the glass in front of him.I haven't drunk any of it.He takes it through to the kitchen.Don't go, we haven't finished.You shook your head.I don't shake his hand before I leave.
Catalan original
El Ramon em rep a la terrassaamb un aparell que li compta les passes.Em diu que ha de caminar cada dia.S'estreny el rellotge al canell abans de seure.Quan li dic per què he vingutem demana si vull un got d'aigua.No li responc a la primera.Em torna a preguntar pel got.Vas fer que no amb el cap.Deixa el recompte, escolta'm primer.No te'n vagis, no hem acabat.Diu que l'havien fet responsabled'una feina que venia de dalt.«No em vas tornar mai la bata.»Jo tinc la mà plana damunt la cuixa.Li demano que vingui amb mia dir a l'Andreu què va passar.L'aparell fa un soroll petit.Ell mira la xifra i em diu que no.Vas fer que no amb el cap.Deixa el recompte, escolta'm primer.S'alça perquè l'aparell li ho mana.Jo li deixo el got davant.No he arribat a beure'n gens.Ell se l'endú fins a la cuina.No te'n vagis, no hem acabat.Vas fer que no amb el cap.No li dono la mà abans d'anar-me'n.
