Si ve l’abril tremolant i el ventet que no reposa i el perfum de Dijous Sant, noia, no cullis la rosa: passa cantant. Si les trampes van picant, si tenen vestits de festa la geganta i el gegant, noia, no llencis ginesta: passa cantant. Si la gent, ploriquejant, camina amb la vista baixa, si va la creu endavant, noia, no guatis la caixa: passa cantant. Si t’escomet un galant, tot tendresa, tot deliris, defallint i sospirant, no l’escoltis ni te’l miris: passa cantant. Si una vella xiuxejant t’augura una mala estrella i et diu que se’t marciran aquests aires de poncella i aquesta galta tan bella no durarà ni un instant, noia, riu-te de la vella: passa cantant!
