Chants du Roussillon: V. Rossinyol, que vas en Franca
Paul Reade
"Rossinyol, que vas en França
Rossinyol! Encomana'm à la mare
Rossinyol! D'un bell bocatge
Rossinyol, D'un vol!
Encomana'm à la mare, Rossinyol!
Y a mon pare no pas gaire
A un pastor me n'ha dada, Rossinyol!
Qué m'fa guardar la remada
Qué me'n donaràs per paga, Rossinyol!
- Un petó y una abraçada
Un petó y una abraçada, Rossinyol!
Quan tenen pa, volen formatge!
Nightingale, who flies away to France
Nightingale, speak of me to my mother
Nightingale of the greenwood
Nightingale on the wing!
Speak of me to my mother, Nightingale!
But not much to my father
To a shepherd he has given me, Nightingale!
Who makes me tend the sheep
How will you pay me, Nightingale!
- A kiss, a hug
A kiss, a hug, Nightingale!
- Whoever has bread, wants cheese as well!"
