Platxèria
Language: Catalan (Català)
Dolça amigueta, juguem a fet,
o a corretgeta, o a bell indret.
Dolça amigueta, no tinguis por:
ni he d’allunyar-me, ni en cap racó
fer-te malícies, o bé el distret
si acàs et cremes o ets a l’indret
on he amagada la teva flor;
si tu ets manyaga, jo seré bo.
Dolça amigueta, tornem al joc;
la teva escala farà de toc.
Si tu m’atrapes, no et besaré;
si jo t’atrapo, perdonaré
que no m’estimis. Ja em somriuràs.
Si et cau la trena, jo et faré el llaç.

Amusement
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Sweet little friend, let’s play hide-and-seek,
or rag-tag, or at forfeits.
Sweet little friend, don’t be afraid:
neither will I go away, nor, in any nook,
I will do wrong to you, or even be inattentive
in case you burn yourself, or you happen to be in the place
where I have hidden your flower;
if you are gentle, I will be good.
Sweet little friend, let’s play again;
your stairway will be the start.
If you catch me, I will not kiss you;
if I catch you, I will forgive you
for not loving me. You will smile to me later on.
If your braid drops, I will tie it up.
