Original lyrics
El cant dels ocells
Al veure despuntar
el major lluminar,
en la nit més ditxosa,
els aucellets cantant
a festejar-lo van
amb sa veu melindrosa.
I l’àguila imperial,
se’n vola cel endalt
cantant amb melodia
dient: – Jesús és nat
per treure’ns de pecat
i dar-nos alegria.
Respon-li bé el pardal
- Avui, nit de Nadal
és nit de gran contento!
El verdum i el lluer
diuen cantant també:
– Oh, que alegria sento!
I canta el passarell:
– Oh, que hermós i que bell
és l’Infant de Maria!
Li respon ara el tord,
– Vençuda és la mort,
i naix la vida mia!
Murmura el rossinyol:
– És més bonic que el sol,
més brilliant que una estrella.
La cotxa i el bitxac,
festegen al manyac
– i a sa Mare donzella.
Refila el reietó
per glòria del Senyor,
filant amb biçarria.
El canari segueix.
Llur música pareix
celestial melodia.
Ja n’entra el cotoliu
dient: - Aucells, veniu
a festejar l’aurora.
I la merla, xiulant,
anava festejant
a la més gran Senyora.
L’estiverola diu:
– Ja no és hivern ni estiu,
sinó que és primavera
puix que és nada una flor
que exhala tal olor
que omple la terra entera.
Cantava el francolí:
– Aucells: qui vol venir
avui, a trenc de dia,
a veure el Gran Senyor
amb sa gran resplendor
a dins d’una establia?
Picots i borroners
volen entre els fruiters
cantant llurs alegries;
la guatlla i el cucut
del molt lluny han vingut
per contemplâ el Messies.
Vé xiluant el puput:
– Eixa nit ha vingut
el Rei de més grandesa.
La tórtora i el colom,
admiren a tothom
cantant sense tristesa.
I canta la perdiu:
– Me’n vaig a fê el meu niu
a dins de l’establia,
per veure bé l’Infant
com està tremolant
en braços de Maria.
La garsa, griva i gaig
diuen: – Ara vé el maig!
Respon la cadernera:
– Tot arbre reverdeix,
tota planta floreix,
com si fos la primavera.
Xiuxiueja el pinsà:
– Glòria avui i demà;
sento immensa alegria,
de veure el Diamant
tan hermós i brillant
en braços de Maria.
El xut, també el mussol,
en veure eixir el sol,
confosos se retiren;
el gamarús i el duc
diuen: – Mirar no puc;
tals resplendors m’admiren.

The Song of the Birds
In seeing emerge
The greatest light
During the most celebrated of nights,
The little birds sing.
They go to celebrate Him
With their delicate voices.
The imperial eagle
flies high in the sky,
singing melodically,
saying, "Jesus is born
To save us all from sin
And to give us joy."
The sparrow responds,
Today, this Christmas Eve,
Is a night of good cheer!"
The greenfinch and the siskin
Say in singing, too,
"Oh, what joy I feel!"
The linnet sang,
"Oh, how lovely and beautiful
Is the child of Mary!"
The thrush answers:
"Death is conquered,
My life now begins!"
The nightingale twitters,
"He is more beautiful than the sun,
More brilliant than a star!"
The redstart and the stonechat
Celebrate the infant
And his virgin Mother.
The wren sang
For the glory of the Lord,
Inflating with fantasy;
The canary follows:
Its music sounds like
A great song from Heaven.
Now comes the woodlark
Saying, "Come birds
To celebrate the dawn!"
And the big blackbird, whistling,
Went celebrating
The greatest Lady.
The tit says,
"It is neither winter nor summer
But rather springtime;
A flower is born
That gives a sweet smell all around
And fills the whole world."
The francolin sang,
"Birds, who wants to come
Today at daybreak
To see the good Lord
With all of his splendor
Within a stable?"
The hoopoe goes singing,
"This night has come
the greatest of Kings!"
The turtle dove and rock dove
Admire, and to all
Sing without sadness.
Woodpeckers and bullfinches
Fly between fruit trees
Singing their joys.
The quail and the cuckoo
From afar have come
To see the Messiah.
The partridge sang,
"I am going to make my nest
Inside of that stable,
To look upon the Infant;
How he trembles
In the arms of Mary."
The magpie, mistle thrush, and jay
Say, "May is coming!"
The goldfinch responds,
"All the trees become green again,
All the branches flower
As if it were the spring."
The chaffinch whispers,
"Glory today and tomorrow;
I feel great joy
To see the diamond
So handsome and brilliant
In the arms of Mary."
The scops owl and little owl
Seeing the sunrise
Leave confused.
The tawny owl and eagle-owl
Say, "I cannot look;
Such splendors are in front of me!"
