from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

El Mariner
Language: Catalan (Català) 
A la vora de la mar 
n'hi ha una donzella, hi ha una donzella,
que en brodava un mocador
que és per la reina, que és per la reina. 

Quan en fou a mig brodar
li manca seda;
gira els ulls envers la mar
veu una vela. 

Veu venir un galiot
tot vora terra,
en veu venir un mariner
que una nau mena. 

-Mariner, bon mariner:
que en porteu seda ?
-De quin color la voleu,
blanca o vermella ?

-Vermelleta la vull jo,
que és millor seda.
Vermelleta la vull jo
que és per la reina. 

-Pugeu a dalt de la nau,
triareu d'ella.
-Ai no ? No hi puc pujar
no tinc moneda. 

El meu pare té les claus
de l'arquimesa,
-No quedeu per diners, no,
gentil donzella. 

La donzella entra a la nau,
tria la seda.
Mentre va mercadejant
la nau pren vela.
