Our translations:  ENG
Si n'eren tres tambors
venien de la guerra
el més petit de tots
porta un ram de rosetes
Ram, ram pataplam,
porta un ram de rosetes. 
La filla del gran rei
n'ha sortit en finestra:
Tambor, el bon tambor;
si em vol dar una roseta ? 
Ram, ram, pataplam... 
-Donzella que l'haurà
serà l'esposa meva:
no us donaré el ram
que a vós no us puga prendre,
Ram, ram, pataplam... 
M'haveu de demanar
al pare i a la mare.
Si el sí vos volen dar
per mi res no es pot perdre.
Ram, ram, pataplam...
