| No tenia res a perdre així que agafí llavor
| I had nothing to lose so I took seed
|
| Seca i negra que guardava com l’or al mocador
| Dry and black that looked like gold on a handkerchief
|
| Era encara en l’esperança de que tindria consol
| He was still hoping for comfort
|
| I a la terra d’un cossiol li posí en caure el sol
| And on the ground of a cossiol put the sun at him
|
| Un bressol per si creixia com digué el bruixot
| A cradle in itself grew as the wizard said
|
| Que amb arrels em prometia un fill o dos
| That with roots he promised me a son or two
|
| I orella d’ase em feres collir, ungla de gat vaig cercar
| And a donkey's ear made me pick it up, I looked for a cat's claw
|
| Didalera d’aiguavessant, falaguera de la vella (2x)
| Watermelon, old fern (2x)
|
| L’endemà no es feu tardar i al temps que el rou
| Don't delay until the next day and at the same time
|
| Va brollar i va florir amb poca sort
| It sprouted and blossomed with little luck
|
| Qui només venia per un dia, per un dia o dos
| Who only came for a day, for a day or two
|
| I a la terra del cossiol li posí en caure el sol
| And in the land of the cossiol he put the sunset
|
| Un taüt per si moria la menuda flor
| A coffin in case the little flower died
|
| No tindré temps per posar-te
| I won't have time to put you down
|
| Ni tan sols un nom
| Not even a name
|
| I orella d’ase em feres collir, ungla de gat vaig cercar
| And a donkey's ear made me pick it up, I looked for a cat's claw
|
| Didalera d’aiguavessant, falaguera de la vella
| Waterfowl thistle, old fern
|
| I orella d’ase em feres collir, ungla de gat vaig cercar
| And a donkey's ear made me pick it up, I looked for a cat's claw
|
| Didalera d’aiguavessant, falaguera de la vella | Waterfowl thistle, old fern |
