This is a video of a song which I liked a lot, but I didn't know what did it mean until today, when I have tried to translate it and I've seen that... it's a bit strange. After the video you have the "translation", I hope you'll enjoy the video.
GORILLAZ: Clint Eastwood
Oh oh oh oh oh
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on (x3)
Oh oh oh oh oh
No sóc feliç,
em sento alegre,
Tinc el sol en una bossa,
No serveixo per res però
no per gaire temps.
El meu futur s’està acostant. (x3)
Yeah... Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual
Hearable
What appears in you is a clearer view cos you're too crazy
Lifeless
To know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it?
Gunsmokin' righteous with one token
Psychic among those
Possess you with one go
Finalment algú em va deixar sortir de la meva gàbia.
Ara, el temps per mi no és res, perquè no tinc en compte els meus anys.
Ara no podria estar allà.
Ara no hauries d’estar espantat.
Sóc bo fent reparacions.
I estic sota cada trampa.
Intangible,
M’hi jugo el que vulguis que no pensaves que jo et controlo.
Vista panoràmica.
Observa, faré que tot sigui manejable,
Escull i tria
Seu i perd
Totes les teves bandes,
Ties i tios.
Qui creus que està colpejant melodies realment?
Imatge que et baixes d’un tub imaginari.
Com tu vas encendre la metxa.
Creus que és fictici, místic? Potser espiritual, audible.
El que apareix en tu és una visió clara, perquè tu estàs boig també.
Sense vida.
Per saber la definició de què és la vida.
Sense preu.
Per tu, perquè et vaig posar en una merda.
T’agrada?
La pistola fumejant justament amb una senyal.
Allò psíquic, entre els altres.
Posseir-te en un moment.
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
No sóc feliç,
em sento alegre,
Tinc el sol en una bossa,
No serveixo per res però
no per gaire temps.
El meu futur s’està acostant.
S’està acostant
S’està acostant
S’està acostant
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Child, like in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree
Every child apiece
Every cloud you see
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise
From this fuckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russ, though not his muscles but the percussion he provides
with me as a guide
But y'all can see me now cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
With a few rhymes so mother fuckers
Remember where the thought is
I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squealing, remember
(that it's all in your head)
L’essència és la base.
Sense això ho fas.
Deixa’m fer-ho.
Com un nen a la natura.
Ritme.
O ho tens o no, això és una fal•làcia.
Estic en elles.
Cada arbre que brota.
Cada un dels nens.
Cada núvol que veus.
Veus amb els teus ulls.
Jo veig destrucció i desaparicions.
Corrupció disfressada.
Des d’aquest coi d’empresa.
Ara xuclo les teves mentides.
Des d’en Russ, encara que no els seus músculs sinó la percussió que dóna,
amb mi com a guia.
Però ara em pots veure perquè no mires amb l’ull.
Em perceps amb la ment.
Aquest és el secret.
Doncs em quedaré amb en Russ i per ser un mentor.
Trencar unes quantes rimes, doncs, _______
Recorda on és el pensament,
Jo vaig construir tot això
I tu pots sobreviure quan la llei és il•legal.
Sentiments, sensacions que vas pensar que eren mortes.
No cridis, recorda
(tot és dins el teu cap)
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
No sóc feliç,
em sento alegre,
Tinc el sol en una bossa,
No serveixo per res però
no per gaire temps.
El meu futur s’està acostant. (x2)
s’està acostant
s’està acostant
s’està acostant
s’està acostant
El meu futur s’està acostant
s’està acostant
s’està acostant
s’està acostant
s’està acostant (...)
El meu futur.

Have a good meal
My favorite food is Chinese food. I haven’t been to China, but I’ve got a lot of Chinese restaurants near my village. Some of them are better than others, maybe because of the recipe, the quality of the food or the sauces. I think sauces are very important and they can decide if a dish is good or not.
In Spain, restaurants offer olives or something to peak at before asking the food. When you go to a Chinese restaurant they usually give you a dish with “shrimp bread”.
Then, you can choose from loads of dishes. For example, spring rolls, seaweeds and chicken, veal or duck prepared wit different sauces. You can try it with rice or noodles, for examples.
Some sauces are very strange, with Chinese words, and you only know the tastes until you try them. But some of them are very typical, common in most of the similar restaurants: The bittersweet sauce is my favorite one. It depends on the restaurant and only some of them have a good sweet and sour sauce, but sometimes it’s only a bad tomato sauce. Oyster sauce is also very common, and it’s good with veal. There’s spicy sauce too. Sometimes it has a very hot taste and you need to drink a lot after it.
There’s a rumor which says that, in Chinese restaurants, dogs are cooked in some dishes. Because of this, some people doesn’t want to try that food. I don’t know if that’s true, but I think it isn’t bad if there are dishes with dog (and they sell it like dog, of course), because we eat things that other cultures never eat and we can’t imagine eating worms or ants, which are some of the main dishes from some countries.
One of the things which I like from Chinese food is to eat it with wood sticks. We are used to eat with forks, knifes and spoons, but with two sticks it’s a curious way to eat. Eating a bowl of rice with wood sticks is a very hard challenge if you haven’t practiced.
That’s been a summary about what can you find in a Chinese restaurant, but I think the only way to know it is to go and try it, because it’s an opportunity that maybe our ancestors didn’t have. One of my advices is that, if you don’t like it at first, don’t say “I don’t like that food” until you had tried three or four restaurants and different dishes. One of the options is to ask for the most popular restaurants and 请享用！(have a good meal!).
