J'allais fauchant ce jour là

Translation Singable translation by Henri Collet (1885 - 1951)

Montañesa

Language: Spanish (Español)

Segaba yo aquella tarde,
Y ella atropaba la yerba
Y estaba más colorada morena y salada
Que en su sazón las cerezas.
Cuatro pinos tiene tu pinar y yo te los cuido,
Cuatro majos los quieren cortar;
No se han atrevido.

J'allais fauchant ce jour là

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

J'allais fauchant ce jour là,
Et elle liait les gerbes
Et elle était plus rouge, plus brun et plus piquante
Que ne sont les cerises mûres.
Quatre pins poussent dans ta pinede et moi je les soigne,
Quatre gas les voudraient bien couper :
Ils n'ont pas osé.
