Lyrics and translation Moussu T E Lei Jovents - Monte vas cançoneta?
Tòrna
sonar
la
guitarra,
The
guitar
is
echoing
once
more,
Ti
fa
d'ondas
dedins
l'èr.
Sending
ripples
through
the
air.
Quand
la
cançon
desamarra,
When
the
song
sets
sail,
Si
va
libra
dins
lo
ser.
It
takes
flight
into
the
evening
sky.
Per
caladas,
per
carrieras,
Through
alleyways
and
streets,
Lòng
dei
quèis,
davant
lei
bars,
Along
the
quays,
past
the
bars,
Raja
coma
una
ribiera
It
flows
like
a
stream
Totjorn
vers
la
mar.
Ever
towards
the
sea.
Monte
vas?
Where
are
you
going?
Monte
vas
ma
cançoneta?
Where
are
you
going,
dear
song
of
mine?
Monte
vas?
Where
are
you
going?
Òc
te'n
vas
Yes,
you're
off,
Coma
lo
fum
de
mon
pintaç.
Like
the
smoke
from
my
cigarette.
Leis
ombras
de
la
placeta,
The
shadows
in
the
square,
Mai
leis
agruas
dau
pòrt
And
the
masts
in
the
harbor
Fan
de
danças
d'estarletas,
Are
dancing
like
twinkling
stars,
Subran
presas
d'estrambòrds.
Swinging
to
the
rhythm
of
my
verses.
Lei
plumas
de
la
gabiòta,
The
seagull's
feathered
wings,
La
branca
dau
romanin,
The
rosemary's
white
blossoms,
Lei
gambas
de
la
minòta
The
minnow's
tiny
legs
Sautan
dins
lo
trin.
Leap
and
bound
in
the
dance.
Monte
vas?
Where
are
you
going?
Monte
vas
ma
cançoneta?
Where
are
you
going,
dear
song
of
mine?
Monte
vas?
Where
are
you
going?
Òc
te'n
vas
Yes,
you're
off,
Coma
lo
fum
de
mon
pintaç.
Like
the
smoke
from
my
cigarette.
Grata,
va
li
jovent,
grata,
Play
on,
young
musician,
play,
Fau
de
nòtas
per
viatjar.
We
need
your
music
to
carry
us
away.
Per
bolegar
fau
de
patas
To
move
forward,
we
need
our
steps
Perque
siam
pas
encara
arribats.
For
we
have
not
yet
reached
our
destination.
Ma
cançon
coma
una
barca
My
song,
like
a
boat
Dins
la
flamor
dau
tremont,
In
the
fading
light
of
the
sunset,
Va,
navèga
sensa
carta
Sails
forth
without
a
chart
Fins
qu'a
l'orizont.
Until
it
reaches
the
horizon.
