Paroles et traduction Maria del Mar Bonet - Sa ximbomba

Sa ximbomba

Jo tenc una ximbombeta
Que és molt bona de sonar,
Perquè en sa nit fa aixecar
Ses dones en camieta.

Sa ximbomba sona trista,
Madona, no la sentiu?
Això és senyal que no teniu
Aigo-ardent pes ximbombista.

Sa ximbomba ja no sona,
Ni sona ni sonarà,
Perquè té sa pell de ca
I sa canya que no és bona.
I es sonador que la sona
Que no la sap fer sonar.

My Ximbomba

I have a ximbombeta
That sounds so good,
Because in the night it makes the
Women rise in their nightgowns.

My ximbomba sounds sad,
My love, can't you hear it?
That's a sign that you don't have
Ardent water for the ximbombista.

My ximbomba no longer sounds,
It neither sounds nor will sound,
Because its skin is of dog
And its cane is no good.
And the player who plays it
Doesn't know how to make it sound.
