La mort i la donzella

English translation

Death and the maiden

Desperteu vos el meu pare,

Awaken father,

desperteu vos si dormiu;

awaken if you are asleep;

que jo veig una tal cara,

for I see a particular face,

que és una figura rara

a figure so strange

queque n'apar un encantament.

that looks like an enchantment.

Donzelleta, sóc la mort,

Young maiden, I am death

si mai l'heu vista pintada.

in case you've never seen my appearance.

Fuigme d'aqui cuca fera,

Be gone you wild beast

que jo en porto la bandera

I carry the flag

de les nines principals.

of the children I lead.
