by Josep Maria de Sagarra i de Castellarnau (1894 - 1961)

Cançó de passar cantant
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
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!
