El Cant Dels Ocells

The Song of the Birds

El Cant Dels Ocells

Seeing the first lightEn veure despuntar
Illuminate the nightEl major il·luminar
In the most joyful nightEn la nit més ditxosa
The little birds singingEls ocellets cantant
To celebrate itA festejar-lo van
With their sweet voiceAmb sa veu melindrosa

The king bird of the skyL'ocell rei de l'espai
Goes flying in the airVa pels aires volant
Singing with melodyCantant amb melodia
Saying: Jesus is bornDient: Jesús es nat
To take us out of sinPer treure'ns del pecat
And give us joyI dar-nos alegria

(My dear: I know I made a mistake(My dear: I know I made a mistake
And I know you don't have good memories of meAnd I know you haven't got a good memory of me
But at least, let me wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, even if it's without meBut at least, just let me wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, even if it's without me
You'll never know how sorry I feel)You'll never know how sorry I feel)

The partridge was singingCantava la perdiu
I'm going to make the nestM'en vaig a fer el niu
Inside that stableDins d'aquella establia
(You'll never know, you'll never know)(You'll never know, you'll never know)
To see the childPer veure I'infant
How he's tremblingCom està tremolant
In Mary's armsEn braços de Maria

(Let me wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, without me)(Let me wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, without me)
