Manuel Garcia Morante:
The Sailor
(Catalonian folk song)
("From distant lands and peoples...", Track 22)
| Near the coast is a maiden embroidering A handkerchief for the Queen. She runs out of silk and she asks a sailor to Bring her some more. He invites her on his ship to choose. While she is selecting it, the ship sets sail. "Good sailor, take me back, the waves give me pain." Text from CD insert. |
| El Mariner | ||||
| 1. | A la vora de la mar hi ha una donzella, hi ha una donzella, que en brodava un mocador; és per la reina, és per la reina. | 3. | Mariner, bon mariner, que en porteu seda? que en porteu seda? Pugeu a dalt de la nau triareu d'ella triareu d'ella. | |
| 2. | Quan en fou a mig brodar li manca seda, li manca seda; en veu venir un mariner que una nau mena, que una nau mena. | 4. | La donzella entra a la nau, tria la seda, tria la seda. Mentre va mercadejant la nau pren vela, la nau pren vela. | |
| 5. Mariner, bon mariner, torneu-me a terra torneu-me a terra, perquè els aires de la mar m'en donen pena m'en donen pena. | ||||
