Aqueres montanhes
Those mountains,
que tan nautes son,
that are so high,
m’empèishen de véder
keep me from seeing,
mèns amors a o son.
where my love has gone,
Nautes se son nautes
High, they're so high,
ja s’abaisharàn
but they will lay down,
es mies amoretes
and my dear love,
que s’aproparàn.
will come closer.
Montanhes araneses
Aranese mountains,
a on es pastors
where the shepherds,
es hònts regalades
shooting water springs,
tròben, e jordons.
find, and raspberries too.
Se cantes perqué cantes
If you sing, why do you?
cantes pas per jo
You're not singing for me,
cantes per ma hilha
you're singing for my girl,
que non ei près de jo.
who's not by my side.
Montanhes coronades
Mountains crowned,
tot er an de nhèu,
all year long with snow,
tan nautes e bères
so high and beautiful,
que vos pune eth cèu.
that the sky kisses you.
Montanhes araneses
Aranese mountains,
pientades de rius,
combed with riverlets,
de totes grandeses
with all majesties,
vos adorne Diu.
God adorns you.
Nòsti amors veiguéretz
Our love you will see,
com rosèr florir,
like a rose bush blossom,
volem com es pares,
we're flying like birds
guardant-vos morir.
as we watch you die.
