El rossinyol /The nightingale

catalan folksong


 
 

Nightingale who flies to France, nightingale
greet my mother, nightingale,
from the fine woods, nightingale
from one flight

Greet my mother, nightingale,
but not my father, nightingale,
from the fine woods, nightingale
from one flight

But not my father, nightingale,
because he mismarried me, nightingale,
from the fine woods, nightingale
from one flight


Irene-Rakesh
