The nightingale
Language: English after the Catalan (Català)
Nightingale, that flies to France, nightingale,
give my love to my mother, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
Please give my love to my mother, nightingale,
but not much to my father, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
For he imposed me to marry, nightingale,
giving me to a shepherd, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
He makes me guard the flock, nightingale,
and I have lost the bellwether, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
I have nothing to reward you with, nightingale,
nothing but a kiss and a hug, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
Nightingale, that flies to France, nightingale,
give my love to my mother, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
