Early one morning

(Sung text for setting by P. Grainger)

See base text

Language: English

Our translations: CAT FIN FRE

Early one morning, just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid sing in the valley below.
"Oh, don't deceive me, oh, never leave me,
How could you use a poor maiden so?"

 ... 

Remember the vows that you made to your Mary,
Remember the bow'r where you vowed to be true.
"Oh, don't deceive me, oh, never leave me.
How could you use a poor maiden so!"

Un matí a primera hora

(Sung text translation for setting by P. Grainger)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the English

Un matí a primera hora quan sortia el sol,
vaig sentir cantar una noia a baix a la vall.
“Oh, no m’enganyis, oh, no m’abandonis mai,
com has pogut tractar així a una pobra noia?”

 ... 

Recorda les promeses que vas fer a la teva Maria,
recorda la glorieta on vas prometre de ser-me fidel.
“Oh, no m’enganyis, oh, no m’abandonis mai,
com has pogut tractar així a una pobra noia?”
