El Rossinyol Lyrics
Joan Baez
Rossinyol, que vas a Frana, rossinyol,
encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Encomane'm a la mare, rossinyol,
i a mon pare no pas gaire, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Perqua m'ha mal maridada, rossinyol,
a un pastor me n'ha dada, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Que em fa guardar la ramada, rossinyol,
he perduda l'esquellada, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Jo t'he de donar per paga, rossinyol,
un pet'o i una abraada, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
Rossinyol, que vas a Frana, rossinyol,
encomana'm a la mare, rossinyol,
d'un bell boscatge, rossinyol, d'un vol.
