Dansa Del Vetllatori [English translation]

I had a florid orchard

of carnations and lilies

of roses and jasmines

that took my suffering and sorrows.

Every day in the morning

when the sun rose from the east

I greeted the good morning

with a heart full of joy.

Now I can only cry

tears of melancholy

a strong wind took

the carnation I loved most.

There's no consolation for me

but I have one thing to tell:

thank you my dear friends1

for the company you've given me.2

1. lit. 'my female and male friends'.2. lit. 'for the company', 'for keeping me company'.
