from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

El Ball de Sant Ferriol
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
Era un pastor que en tenia tres ovelles,
era un pastor que tenia un penelló.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.

Jo i el pastor, que vivíem d'amoretes;
jo i el pastor, que vivíem de l'amor.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.

Tots en tenim, de picor i de pessigolles;
tots en tenim, si som vius i no ens morim.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.

Bé pots ballar si no tens pa i botifarra,
bé pots ballar si no tens per manducar.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.

No en tastaràs, des del nas fins a la boca;
no en tastaràs, de la boca fins al nas.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.

Quantes n'hi ha, que a mi em donen desfici;
quantes n'hi ha, que m'hi voldria casar.
Ara ve sant Ferriol, ballarem si Déu ho vol;
el qui toca el tamborino ha perdut el flabiol.
