Rossinyol
Rossinyol que vas a frança, rossinyol,
Encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
D'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
I a mon pare, no pas gaire, rossinyol.
Perquè m'ha mal maridada, rossinyol,
A un pastor me n'ha donada, rossinyol.
Em fa guardar la ramada, rossinyol,
I he perduda una esquellada, rossinyol.
Un pastor me l'ha trobada, rossinyol,
-"pastor, torna'm l'esquellada", rossinyol.
-"que me'n donaràs per paga?", rossinyol,
-"un petó i una abraçada", rossinyol.
Rossinyol que vas a frança, rossinyol,
Encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol.
Nightingale
Nightingale that goes to France, nightingale,
Ask my mother for me, nightingale,
For a beautiful forest, nightingale, for a flight.
Ask my mother for me, nightingale,
And my father, not too much, nightingale.
Because I have been badly married, nightingale,
To a shepherd he has given me, nightingale.
He makes me watch over the flock, nightingale,
And I have lost a bell, nightingale.
A shepherd found it for me, nightingale,
-'shepherd, give me back the bell', nightingale.
-'what will you give me as payment?', nightingale,
-'a kiss and a hug', nightingale.
Nightingale that goes to France, nightingale,
Ask my mother for me, nightingale.
