Work inspired by the following poem of catalan poet Joan Salvat-Papasseit with some improvised nature.

Give me your hand

Give me your hand because we'll walk along the shore
just near to the sea
beating,
we'll have the measure of everything
just telling us we are still in love.

Thar far barques and the one on the sand
will take a faithful and discreet air,
anybody will watch us;
they'll watch new routes
with the slow sight of distracted seeker.

Give me your hand and shelter your cheek
on my chest, and don't fear anyone.
And palm trees will give us shade
And seagulls under the bright sun.

They will bring us salinity that soaks,
to love, everything near the sea:
and I, then, will kiss your cheek;
and the kiss will take us to the love game.

Give me your hand because we'll walk along the shore
just near to the sea
beating,
we'll have the measure of everything
just telling us we are still in love.
