Original text and translations

Catalan text E la don don, Verges Maria, E la don don, peu cap de sang Que nos densaron. E la don don. 1. O garçons aquesta nit Una verge n'a parit, Un filio qu'es tro polit, Que non au tan en lo mon. E la don don. 2. Digas nos qui te l'a dit, Que Verges n'a ya parit, Que nos may avem ausit Lo que tu diu giràn ton. E la don don. 3. A eo dian los argeus, Que cantavan alta veus La grolla n'exelsis Deus, Qu'en Belén lo trobaron. E la don don. 4. Per señau nos an birat, Que verets embolicat De drapets, molt mal faxat, Lo ver Diu petit garçon. E la don don. 5. Vin Perot y à Diu veray, Y a la verge s'a may Un sorron li porteray, Que serà ple de coucon; E la don don. 6. Ara canta tu Beltran, Per amor deu Sant Infan, Y apres cantarà Joan, Y donar nos an coucon. E la don don. 7. Ube cantarà sus dich, Per Jesus mon bon amich, Que nos saunara la nit De tot mal qu'an hom fedorn. E la don don.

English translation She is our Lady, the Virgin Mary. and "don don", bright pale are the feet that dance for us, and she is our Lady. 1. O lads! On this night a virgin gave birth to a fine boy without equal in this world. 2. "Say who told you so, that a virgin gave birth, for we've never heard the like." 3. "The angels said so singing in loud voices 'Gloria in excelis Deus', and he is to be found in Bethlehem."
