Perque avui es Santa Llucia,
dia de 1'any gloriós,
pels vols de la plaça Nova
rondava amb la meva amor.
Anem tots dos a la fira,
amiga, anem-hi de jorn,
que una mica de muntanya
alegri nostra tristor.
Comprarem grapats de molça
i una enramada d'arbor
i una molinera
i una ovella i un pastor.
Ho posarem a mig dia
dins al nostre menjador
i abans de seure a la taula
ens ho mirarem tots dos;
que una mica de muntanya
ene faci'l menjar mes dolç.
Perque avui es Santa Llucia,
dia de 1'any gloriós,
tals paraules m'acudien
quan he vist la meva amor.
For since today's St. Lucy's feast,
the glory of the year,
around the Plaza Nueva
I walked beside my love.
"The two of us, let's to the fair.
Friend, let us go by day,
for a little bit of mountain
will lighten our grief.
We'll buy handfuls of moss,
a branch of evergreen,
a pretty miller-girl*,
a lamb and shepherd boy.
We'll put them after noon
within our dining room,
and before we sit at table
we'll see ourselves in them,
for a little bit of mountain
sweetens the taste of food."
For since today's St. Lucy's feast,
the glory of the year,
such words occurred to me
when I did see my love.
