1.If you make yourself the moon

If you make yourself the moon

the moon of the blue sky

I will make myself the cloud

and come to cover you.

If you make yourself the cloud

and come to cover me,

I will make myself the sand,

the sand of the sea.

If you make yourself the sand,

the sand of the sea,

I will make myself the waves

and come to kiss you.

(...)

If you have to become a monk

to come to confess me,

we'd better get married,

and we're done with the suffering.

3.The ginjaringeta*

Through Cotaina I passed

fig groves on each side

and at the ginjaringeta,

fig groves on each side

I went to the ginjarinjó.

4.The locusts

Come on people of Ciutadella, (bis)

let's kill locusts;

come on, come on, let's all go

so that the thing is overrun.

Through holes and holes (bis)

the locusts crawl

come on, come on, let's all go

that things are speeding up.

Come on people of Ciutadella, (bis)

let's kill locusts;

come on, let's all go

so that the plague is overrunning us.

The locusts of Ciutadella (bis)

they say they eat wheat

and the merchants have already raised it

to twenty-six per barcella.*

*barcella=measure of grain.
