Eulària, noble dama, és reposant al llit; hi ha vora seu la fosca, la pau i un feble crit. Les coses de la casa amb un llenguatge mut es parlen del misteri i la dolçor que ha dut. – Un altre – diu el sostre –, que no em serà constant. – Un altre – diu la llinda –, que em deixarà cantant. – Ell, que m’ignora encara, – diu el roser flairós – escamparà mes roses sobre un cabell tot ros. Dins ses humides nines, medita el gos, content: – No tindrà por de l’ombra, farà fugî el dolent! I en l’alta nit profunda hom sent el gall cofoi que diu a les estrelles: – Cocorococ! És noi!

Eulària, noblewoman, is resting in bed; around her there is darkness, peace, and a feeble cry. The things of the house, with a mute language, speak about the mystery and the sweetness he has brought. -- Another one – says the ceiling --, that will not be loyal to me. -- Another one – says the threshold --, that will leave me singing. -- He, that still ignores me, -- says the fragrant rosebush – will strew my roses over a blond hair. Inside his moist pupils, ponders happily the dog, -- He will not be afraid of the shadow, he will chase the evil away! And in the deep of the night one hears the proud rooster saying to the stars: -- Cock-a-doodle-doo! It’s a boy!
