Muntanya avall
Language: Catalan (Català)
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!

Down the mountain
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
The herd of cows is going downhill
slowly, chiming the bells,
for the cold on the mountain is compelling
and the shepherd boy is homesick.
Ah!
The herd of cows is going downhill
and the boy is driving them along
while unraveling a song
about a girl and a shepherd.
Ah!
The herd of cows is going downhill
and snow is falling on the mountain!
