by Jacint Verdaguer i Santaló (1845 - 1902)

Sant Francesc i la cigala
Language: Catalan (Català) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lo convent és tan petit
que una serment l'engarlanda,
on un dia al pic del sol
s'ou cantar una cigala.
Zigaluzet.

Ja li crida San Francesc:
-- Vine, vine, oh ma germana;
vine i canta una cançó
al bon Déu que t'ha criada.
Zigaluzet.

La cigala no fa el sort,
sobre sos dits se posava,
I canta que cantarás
la cançó de l'estiuada.
Zigaluzet.

Cada dia al dematí
brunzidora redevalla.
Quan vuit dies són passats
ja li diu tot amoixant-la.
Zigaluzet.

Cigaló, bon cigaló,
t'hem sentit una vuitada;
on Déu te vulla ara ves
a puntejar la guitarra.
Zigaluzet.
