Translation of the song El pobre alegre artist Christmas Carols

Sóc pobre i no envejo

I am poor and I don't envy

La vida d'un ric,

The rich man's life,

Car jo me la passo

Because I always have

Molt més divertit!

Many more fun times!

Jo gaudisc la vida

I enjoy life

Sense mal de caps:

Without headaches:

Jo cant i m'alegro

I sing and I rejoice

Quan Jesús és nat!

When Jesus is born!

Matinet em llevo

I wake up in the early morning

I me'n vaig a la font;

And I go to the fountain;

Me'n rentuc la cara

I wash my face

I és fora la son.

And sleepiness goes away.

I el ric no pot fer-ho

A rich man can't do that

Car no és pas llevat;

Because he doesn't wake up early:

Jo cant i m'alegro

I sing and I rejoice

Quan Jesús és nat!

When Jesus is born!

Jo en tinc una jupa

I have a smock-frock

Tota de vellut:

Entirely made out of velvet:

No és ampla ni estreta,

It's not wide or narrow,

Hi cabo tot just...

I fit in just right...

Ai, pobre de mi,

Ah, poor little me,

Que se m’ha esparracat!

For it has ripped right through!

Mes cant i m’alegro

Yet I sing and rejoice

Quan Jesús és nat!

When Jesus is born!

Si hem d'ésser pobres,

If we must be poor,

Siguem-ho de grat:

Let's gladly be so:

Jo cant i m’alegro

I sing and I rejoice

Quan Jesús és nat!

When Jesus is born!
