| La mare brodava, ai, al vespre l’aixovar | My mother used to embroider her clothes in the evening |
| Per a la filla venidora brodava-li els panys | For the coming daughter he embroidered the locks |
| Pensaria en mon pare al temps de partida | I would think of my father at the time of departure |
| Que era a tothora | That was all the time |
| FEMANT ELS XIPRERS a dintre la tomba | FEMINATING THE CYPRUS inside the tomb |
| Ja va mudat, el tratge de quan fou maridat | He has already moved, the suit from when he was married |
| Als muscles va, tots de dol amb plor | He goes on his shoulders, all mourning and crying |
| No vol anar i diu que tindrà fred per la nit | He doesn’t want to go and says it will be cold at night |
| I que al ventre floriran rovellons | And that in the womb will bloom buds |
| Ja van caiguent reixiu i gessamins | The reeds and jasmines are already falling |
| Al pati i al manil de la vídua | In the courtyard and in the widow's manila |
| Ja el dia va eixint | The day is coming out |
| I fils de blanc cotó a sobre terra són | And white cotton threads on the ground are |
