I would like to ask a native speaker of Spanish, "Is there more meaning in the lyrics than what is translated here?" Thank you.

well, 'ay' is an interjection usually expressing pain or sorrow in spanish. i believe the equivalent in english would be 'ow' (in sudden fits) or 'oh'.
a possible translation for the sequence 'ay, ay, ay' might be ' oh, oh, oh my', but you know, interjections could be tricky and subjective, so i don't think leaving it as 'ay, ay, ay' as you do would be wrong.
by the way, i'm replying you because i faced similar doubts here and i might have been wrong translating the english version hehehe.
Sacdegemecs, I went to the link you posted and listened to the song. Very good song performed by a talented band! I left a suggestion as to how I would translate it into English. That was a first for me! I've never heard a song in Catalan before!
Hay muchas versiones de esta canción en YouTube, pero ninguna tiene estas letras ni la cantante, Lydia Mendoza.
