EL DESEMBRE CONGELAT (Catalan)

El desembre congelat
confús es retira.
Abril, de flors coronat,
tot el món admira.
Quan en un jardí d'amor
neix una divina flor,
d'una ro, ro, ro,
d'una sa, sa, sa,
d'una ro, d'una sa,
d'una rosa bella,
fecunda i poncella.

El primer pare causà
la nit tenebrosa
que a tot el món ofuscà
la vista penosa;
mes, en una mitjanit,
brilla el sol que n'és eixit
d'una be, be, be,
d'una lla, lla, lla,
d'una be, d'una lla,
d'una bella aurora
que el cel enamora.

El mes de maig ha florit,
sense ser encara,
un lliri blanc tot polit
de fragància rara,
que per tot el món se sent,
de Llevant fins a Ponent,
tota sa, sa, sa,
tota dul, dul, dul,
tota sa, tota dul,
tota sa dulçura
i olor, amb ventura.

Arribaren els tres reis
amb molta alegria,
adorant el rei del cel
en una establia.
Oferint-li tres presents,
com són or, mirra i encens.
A la Ma, Ma, Ma,
a la re, re, re,
a la Ma, a la re,
a la Mare pia,
la Verge Maria.

Amb contentament i amor
celebrem el dia,
en què el diví Senyor
neix amb alegria.
Si no tenim més tresor
oferim-li nostre cor,
que és la gran, gran, gran
que és la fi, fi, fi
que és la gran, que és la fi,
que és la gran finesa
de nostra pobresa.

FROZEN DECEMBER

Frozen December,
Sorry, withdraws.
The whole world admires
April, crowned with flowers,
When in a garden of love
A divine flower is born,
Of a ro-, ro-, ro-,
Of a -se, -se, -se,
Of a ro-, of a -se,
Of a beautiful rose,
Fecund and virgin.

The first father caused
The dark night
That overshadowed the painful sight
Of the whole world;
But, one midnight,
The sun shines that came out
Of a beauti-, beauti-, beauti-,
Of a -ful, -ful, -ful,
Of a beauti-, of a -ful,
Of a beautiful dawn
That the sky falls in love with.

The month of May has blossomed,
Without being yet
A white lily all well groomed
With a rare fragrance,
That can be felt throughout the world,
From the East to the West,
All its, its, its,
All sweet-, sweet-, sweet-,
All its, all sweet-,
All its sweetness
And smell, hopefully.

The three kings arrived
With great joy,
Worshiping the king of heaven
In a cowshed
Offering him three presents,
Such as gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
To the Mo-, Mo-, Mo-,
To the -ther, -ther, -ther,
To the Mo-, to the -ther,
To the pious Mother,
the Virgin Mary.

With joy and love
Let's celebrate the day
In which the divine Lord
Was born with joy
If we have no other treasure
Let's give him our hearts,
Which is the great, great, great,
That's the re-, re-, re-
Which is the great, which is the re-,
Which is the great refinement
Of our poverty.
