A mi padre
y a Climent Comulada, in memoriam.
A Jordi Martín, a la familia Vall
y a todos los vecinos de la Plaça Rovira.
A mi prima Luisita Gozalbo
y a mi familia catalana, con profundo amor.
De vegades, els somnis
viuen la realitat
i a l'invers hi ha vida
que fa real ho somiat
con aquesta nit dolça
d'un agost d'envelats
pels carrers fent la festa
que em transporta al passat,
un passat com un barri
de futurs sense espills
on van viure els meus avis,
on van néixer els seus fills.
Tinc records del meu parequan, després del treball,
ens baixàvem a beure
les orxates d'en Vall.
Plaça Rovira, vella Plaça Rovira
del meu barri de Gràcia,
i el meu cor adormit,
Plaça Rovira, em bategues guspires
d'un foc que ja era cendra...
I, més que fum,
ets tota llum
aquesta nit.
I a la nit ens n'anàvem
per canviar un poc d'ambient,
fins el Bar Comulada,
el palau d'en Climent
on las ensaladillas,
de la seva patent,
feien que el tast dels somnis
fos un gust pel client.
La farmàcia d'en Pere
i el quiosc deien "prou,
a tancar que ja arriba
el darrer trenta-nou".
I el Cinema Rovira,
va ser un somni guarnit
amb Charlot fent rialles
pels grans i els més petits...
Plaça Rovira, vella Plaça Rovira...
I al primer son del somni,
quan el temps va partir,
el meu pare em deia:
"anem a casa a dormir".
I en silenci tornàvem
lentament cap amunt
a la torre dels avis
i tots els seus difunts.
I entre el pou i las pedres
del jardí de Massens,
la galàxia ens plorava
pluges de Sant Llorenç.
I el meu pare em parlava
assenyalant-me el cel:
"fes-li, abans dels teus somnis,
un petó al teu estel".
Plaça Rovira, vella Plaça Rovira...
Luis Eduardo Aute Gutiérrez (Madrid, 1943 – Madrid, 2017) was a Spanish singer-songwriter, composer, poet, and filmmaker. Considered one of the most important songwriters in contemporary Spain, Aute went through several musical phases, from folk to progressive rock, passing through jazz and electronic music. His poetry, often introspective and full of symbolism, intertwines with memorable melodies and sophisticated arrangements. Among his most famous songs are "Roses", "At Dawn" and "The Child of the Moon". Aute collaborated with numerous Spanish and international artists, including Joan Manuel Serrat and Paco de Lucía. His filmography includes directors such as Carlos Saura and Pedro Almodóvar. Aute was a multifaceted artist who left an indelible mark on Spanish culture.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
