Berta says Elenawould like to come and talk to me.I ask if she's paid for the haircut.My daughter doesn't think I'm funny.I've seen her at the market kioskand walked past with my shopping.We've shopped in the same squarewithout having to walk together.What do you want me to do with that?Say it before Berta comes back.Come closer, I can't hear you properly.I started in another factory.I clocked in when the children left school.I missed the first performance;Berta played a tree without seeing me there.I told her I'd been held up,that I couldn't get across the bridge.There was nothing broken on the bridge.I didn't want to say “work” again.What do you want me to do with that?Come closer, I can't hear you properly.Now Elena arrives earlierthan the time we both gave her.I have to make her wait in the yard.I'm still feeding the dog.She doesn't take my arm.The dog sniffs her ankles.I nudge its muzzle away with my kneeand ask what she's come to tell me.Say it before Berta comes back.What do you want me to do with that?There's still dog food in my hand.
Catalan original
La Berta diu que l'Elenaem voldria venir a parlar.Li demano si ha pagat el tall.La meva filla no em troba la gràcia.L'he vista al quiosc del mercati he passat amb la compra.Hem anat a comprar a la mateixa plaçasense haver de caminar juntes.Què vols que faci amb això?Digues-ho abans que torni la Berta.Acosta't, que no et sento bé.Jo vaig començar en una altra fàbrica.Entrava quan els nens sortien d'escola.Em vaig perdre la primera funció;la Berta va fer d'arbre sense veure'm.Li vaig dir que m'havia quedat aturada,que no podia passar pel pont.El pont no tenia res trencat.No volia tornar a dir «la feina».Què vols que faci amb això?Acosta't, que no et sento bé.Ara l'Elena arriba més d'horadel que li havíem dit les dues.L'haig de fer esperar al pati.Encara estic donant menjar al gos.Ella no m'agafa el braç.El gos li olora els turmells.Aparto el morro amb el genolli li pregunto què ha vingut a dir-me.Digues-ho abans que torni la Berta.Què vols que faci amb això?Encara em queda menjar a la mà.
