Floreix l’ametller
Language: Catalan (Català)
Floreix l’ametller
i el blat ja grifola.
Malgrat el gener
mon cor no tremola
que el baf del terrer
l’alegra i l’arbola.
El verd lluminós
que enjoia el sembrat
reflecta clarors
d’un foc soterrat:
d’un foc que reviu
amb vida fecunda,
natura somriu!
natura es deixonda.
El sol, emboirat
enyora la terra,
i apunta, esblaimat
pel cim de la serra.
Per ‘xò a ple gener
mon cor no tremola
que el baf del terrer
l’alegra i l’arbola.
Floreix l’ametller
i el blat ja grifola.

The almond tree blossoms
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
The almond tree blossoms
and the wheat sprouts already.
In spite of January
my heart does not shiver
because the breath of the earth
brightens and lifts it.
The shining greenery,
that the sown field adorns,
reflects the light
of a buried fire:
of a fire revived
with fertile life,
nature smiles,
nature awakes.
The sun, covered with mist,
longs for the earth,
and begins to show, pale,
at the top of the mountains.
Hence, in the middle of January
my heart does not shiver
because the breath of the earth
brightens and lifts it.
The almond tree blossoms
and the wheat sprouts already.
