Текст и перевод песни Peret & Dusminguet - El Mig Amic

El Mig Amic

Teixits venia el meu pare
Sobre la plana de Vic
I la gent que li comprava
Li deien el mig amic

Qui es que es vol deixar enredar
Per un gitano eixerit?
A qui em compri una camisa
Li regalo un cobrellit!

I enredant per allà
I enredant per aquí
D'aquesta manera
Em va pujar a mi.

Així es guanyava la vida
El meu pare, el mig amic
I el pobre del que li comprava
Se'n quedava ben lluït

Però ho feia amb una gràcia
I hi posava tant d'estil
Que inclús havia venut trajos
A algun guàrdia civil

I enredant per allà
I enredant per aquí
D'aquesta manera
Em va pujar a mi

My Half Friend

My father would weave
On the Vic plains
And the people who bought from him
Would call him my half friend

Who's going to let themselves be tricked
By a clever gypsy?
To whom I sell a shirt
I'll give them a little copper cup!

And tricking around here
And tricking around there
Like this
He'd swindle me.

That's how my father made a living
My half friend
And the poor guy who bought from him
Would be left looking silly

But he did it with such grace
And he put so much style into it
That he had even sold suits
To some civil guard

And tricking around here
And tricking around there
Like this
He'd swindle me.
