My homeland's songs
Traspua tant sentiment,
Exude so much emotion,
De les cançons de ma terra

They exude so many emotion
Que, en sentir-ne les tonades,
That, when I hear their melodies,
Em corprèn l’enyorament...
The longing takes hold of me...
Em corprèn l’enyorament!
The longing takes hold of me!
A la porta hi teniu roses
By your door, you keep roses
I, a la finestra, un clavell.
And on your windowsill, a carnation.
A la porta hi teniu roses
By your door, you keep roses
I, a la finestra, un clavell.
And on your windowsill, a carnation.
I a la finestra un clavell;
And on your windowsill, a carnation;
Al cor, una clavellina
In your heart, a corn-cockle plant
Voltada de pensaments...
Surrounded by pansies...
Voltada de pensaments!
Surrounded by pansies!
