Translation of the song lyrics El Rossinyol - Joan Baez

El Rossinyol (original)

Rossinyol, que vas a Fran§ a, rossinyol,
encomana’m a la mare, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.
Encomane’m a la mare, rossinyol,
i a mon pare no pas gaire, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.
Perqu m’ha mal maridada, rossinyol,
a un pastor me n’ha dada, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.
Que em fa guardar la ramada, rossinyol,
he perduda l’esquellada, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.
Jo t’he de donar per paga, rossinyol,
un pet’o i una abra§ ada, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.
Rossinyol, que vas a Fran§ a, rossinyol,
encomana’m a la mare, rossinyol,
d’un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d’un vol.

El Rossinyol (translation)

Nightingale, you go to France, nightingale,
entrust me to my mother, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
Entrust me to my mother, nightingale,
and to my father not much, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
Because I got married badly, nightingale,
I gave it to a shepherd, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
That makes me save the flock, nightingale,
I lost my skunk, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
I have to pay you, nightingale,
a kiss and a hug, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
Nightingale, you go to France, nightingale,
entrust me to my mother, nightingale,
of a beautiful forest, nightingale, of a flight.
