A Conversation for Spain, Pyrenees - 360
Traditional Catalan Song
Alfredo Started conversation Aug 28, 2002
There is an old, traditional ,Catalan/Spanish song about the Pyrenees.
The writer of it is únknown.
I'll show it here in Spanish aswell in English.
But most important; it's true, very true. I can confirm it by experience.
P Y R I N E O S .
Ahora si que voy a dar,
un golde mas qua solida.
prque parece que va
el baile con alegria.
En los montes Pyrineos
me tengo de ir a vivir.
que dicen que alli se gana
la gloria a antes de morir.
Despedida y no partida
tuve anoche con mi amante.
despedida y no partida
porque el amor no se parte.
Translated in English;
p y r e n e e s .
Today I want to celebrate
a bit more than usual.
Since it seems the dance
is in full swing.
In the Pyrenees mountains
I ought to go and live.
For they say that there you get
to paradise before dying.
A goodby and not a farewell
did I bid from my lover last night.
A goodby and not a farewell
for love cannot be broken off.
