La Gata I el Belitre

De la gata i el belitre
Jo us diré lo que ha passat:
S'ha perdut alguna cosa,
No sé qui l'haurà trobat.
Si serà el gos o bé el gat,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo,
Si serà el gos o bé el gat
Aquell qui l'haurà trobat.

Ja en respon una velleta:
–Penso que haurà estat el ca;
Jo la gata no l'he vista
Ni sentida miolar.
Que si jo el puc atrapar,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo,
Que si jo el puc atrapar,
Que ja me les pagarà!

Dones, estareu contentes
Ara que el ca se n'ha anat.
Atipareu bé la gata
Perquè s'engreixi aviat.
Li donareu pa torrat,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo,
Li donareu pa torrat
Amb all i oli ben sucat.

Faci fred, o plogui, o nevi,
A defora em fan anar.
Faci fred, o plogui o nevi,
A defora em fan anar.
Sense llit, sense sopar,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo.
Sense llit, sense sopar,
Mal ofici és el ser ca.

Som anat a la perera,
Som estat afortunat.
Som menjat sinó una pera;
M'han ben codolejat.
Diuen que em volen matar,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo.
Diuen que em volen matar:
Mal ofici és el ser ca!

Ara ve la primavera,
Que regnarà la guineu;
Ara ve la primavera,
Que regnarà la guineu,
I aleshores bé ho veureu,
A la nyigo, nyigo, nyigo,
I aleshores bé ho veureu
Els gossos si en tenen preu.

The Cat and the Rascal

Of the cat and the rascal
I'll tell you what happened:
Something has been lost,
I don't know who will have found it.
Will it be the dog or the cat?
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
Will it be the dog or the cat,
The one who will have found it?

An old woman then replies:
–I think it must be the dog;
The cat I have not seen,
Nor heard it meow.
If I can catch it,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
If I can catch it,
It will pay dearly!

Ladies, be happy
Now that the dog is gone.
Feed the cat plenty
So that it fattens up quickly.
You will give it toasted bread,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
You will give it toasted bread,
With well-soaked garlic and oil.

Whether it's cold, or raining, or snowing,
They make me go outside.
Whether it's cold, or raining, or snowing,
They make me go outside.
Without a bed, without dinner,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Without a bed, without dinner,
Being a dog is a bad job.

We went to the pear tree,
We were lucky.
We ate only one pear;
They elbowed me a lot.
They say they want to kill me,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
They say they want to kill me:
Being a dog is a bad job!

Now spring comes,
When the fox will reign;
Now spring comes,
When the fox will reign,
And then you will see,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
And then you will see
Whether dogs have any value.
