El Rossinyol

Rossinyol que vas a França, rossinyol,
encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
d'un bell bocatge rossinyol, d'un vol.
 
Encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
i a mon pare no pas gaire, rossinyol,
d'un bell bocatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
 
A mon pare no pas gaire, rossinyol,
perquè a un pastor me n’ha dada, rossinyol,
d'un bell bocatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
 
Perquè a un pastor me n’ha dada, rossinyol,
que em fa guardar la ramada, rossinyol,
d'un bell bocatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
 
Translation

The Nightingale

Nightingale, that flies to France, nightingale,
give my love to my mother, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
 
Please give my love to my mother, nightingale,
but not much to my father, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
 
For he imposed me to marry, nightingale,
giving me to a shepherd, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.
 
He makes me guard the flock, nightingale,
and I have lost the bellwether, nightingale,
from a beautiful grove, nightingale, in one flight.

The fifth stanca in the English version is missing and the fourth stanca translates the fifth of the Catalanian, wich is also missing.

Que em fa guardar la ramada, rossinyol,
He perduda l'esquellada, rossinyol,
D'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
