Work generated under suggestion of my disapeared friend, Jaume De Caso, who also premiered the play. In memory of yours, it's dedicated to you my friend.

In 1987 I was comissioned to do the musical direction of the staging of the musical "Un hombre de la mancha" from Mitch Leigh, for the chamber theater agrupation of Barcelona Xaris.

The close relationship during the production of the musical between all the members of the company, was so intense and creative, that generated this song. Our meeting point was the bar "La gens que j'aime" in Barcelona, and conversations and everything we generated at that time, has been instalated in a special place in my heart and in my memories. I keep intense memories of those bohemic years, full of hopes, deep friendships and freedom. Then my profesional career started inside music. Unrepeatable!

Over time, obviously, only remained the memory, this song and my friendship with Jaume De Caso.

This song is his memory and his tribute.

La gens que j'aime.
 
 

Uns ulls (Original in Catalan):

Més enllà del teu cos

hi ha un somni fet realitat,
que quan l'escrius obre els ulls i diu:
"Un cor, una flor, un món".
I és un somni d'un regne perdut
en la nit del temps, lluny del meu cor.
 
En la terra blanca hi viu un vell pastor,
diu que ens cuida els somnis, el seu ramat no és mort.
Deu ser fa dues nits, vaig tenir un somni gran:
Uns ulls que mai no es tornen vells.
 
Més enllà del teu cos hi ha somnis fets d'aquells ulls,
son llum d'estels, i son pous profunds,
que envolten un temps de llum.
I és un somni que crec que en el mig del meu niu ha estat, com si fos meu.
 
Uns Ulls.

 

 

Eyes (English translation):

Beyond your body

there's a dream come true,
that when you write to it he open the eyes and says:
"A heart, a flower, a world".
And it's a dream of a lost kindom
at night time, far of my heart.
 
In white earth there lives an old shepherd,
he says he takes care of our dreams, his herd isn't dead.
It must be two nights ago, I had a great dream:
Eyes that never grow old.
 
Beyond your body there are dreams made by those eyes,
there are star lights, and are deep wells,
involving a time of light.
And it's a dream that I think it has been in the middle of the nest, as if it was mine.
 
Eyes.
