by Joan Maria Guasch i Miró (1878 - 1961)

Muntanya avall
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
La vacada va baixant 
poc a poc esquellejant, 
que a muntanya apreta el fred 
i s’enyora ja el vailet. 
Ah! 

La vacada va baixant 
i el marrec la va empaitant 
desteixint una cançó 
d’una noia i un pastor. 
Ah! 

La vacada va baixant 
i a muntanya va nevant!
