about

Lyrics are form the great Catalan poet Apel.les Mestres

lyrics

La donzella baixa al riu, a trenc d'alba;
entre terra i cel volant l'alosa canta.

Mig en terra sobre els joncs, i mig a l'aigua,
buida i sola i com dormint s'està a la barca.

La donzella en arribant, joiosa i salta:
"Barquer", crida, "Bon barquer passeu la barca!"

El barquer no respon pas, que dorm encara;
la donzella sobre el banc, es deixa caure.

Guaita el riu i guaita el cel i les muntanyes;
terra i cel van clarejant, del foc de l'alba.

Guaita el cel i guaita el riu i escolta l'aigua
que, en veu baixa, sembla dir coses extranyes.

La donzella té desig, que l'embriaga:
"Volgués Déu que un cop de riu trenqués l'amarra!

Volgués Déu que riu avall partís la barca,
riu avall sense barquer, ni rems ni amarres!

Volgués Déu que lluny, molt lluny, la dugués l'aigua,
lluny, molt lluny, dret a un país mai vist encara,

Allà on cauen els estels quan trenca l'alba,
allà on van perfums de flors, cants i rialles!"
