My wife brings me a shirtand leaves it beside the mirror.The one I wear on Sundayshas sleeves down to the wrist.Today I'll wear the other one.Berta has come upstairs to let us know.She said Elena is nearly here.She didn't ask which shirt I'm wearing.My arm goes on the inside.Leave the sleeve the way it falls.The little button, I'll do that myself.At the beach they give me the bagsand take them off me halfway.Some of them speak louder to mesince the year I left the workshop.My wife helps me with the collar.I don't move her fingers away; I can't reach well today.She finds a stain on the front;I tell her it doesn't show with the shirt open.Leave the sleeve the way it falls.The little button, I'll do that myself.Berta still has her helmet over her arm.I ask about her motorbike.She says she's still paying it off.We both tell her not to go fast.When Elena comes into our homemy wife goes out to get bread.Elena starts looking at my arm.I ask if she still smokes.She answers without lowering her eyes.My arm goes on the inside.Leave the sleeve the way it falls.The jacket has stayed on the peg.
Catalan original
La dona em duu una camisai la deixa al costat del mirall.La que em poso per als diumengesté la màniga fins al canell.Avui em posaré l'altra.La Berta ha pujat a avisar.Ha dit que l'Elena ja arriba.No m'ha preguntat quina camisa duc.El meu braç va per dins.Deixa la màniga tal com cau.El botó petit, ja me'l cordo jo.A la platja em donen les bossesi me les treuen a mig camí.N'hi ha que em parlen més fortdes de l'any que vaig sortir del taller.La dona m'ajuda amb el coll.No li trec els dits, avui hi arribo malament.Em troba una taca al davant;li dic que no es veu amb la camisa oberta.Deixa la màniga tal com cau.El botó petit, ja me'l cordo jo.La Berta encara duu el casc al braç.Jo li demano per la seva moto.Em diu que encara l'està pagant.L'avisem tots dos que no corri.Quan l'Elena entra a casala dona se'n va a buscar el pa.L'Elena es posa a mirar-me el braç.Li pregunto si encara fuma.Ella respon sense abaixar els ulls.El meu braç va per dins.Deixa la màniga tal com cau.La jaqueta s'ha quedat al penjador.
