SANT JOSEP I LA MARE DE DEU

Traditional Catalonian Carol

Sant Josep i la mare de Deu 
Feren companyia bona,
Partien de Natzaret,
Natzaret a la bona hora.
"Don dorondon", la Mare canta i
el Fillet dorm.

No troben posada enlloo
De tant que la gent es pobre
Si no es un barraconet
To ple de joncs i de boga.
"Don dorondon", la Mare canta i
el Fillet dorm.

Sant Josep va a cercar foc
A la ciutat i no en troba;
Quan Sant Josep fou tornat
Deslliurada en fou l'Esposa
"Don dorondon", la Mare canta i
el Fillet dorm.

English Translation: HOLY JOSEPH AND MARY THE MAID

Holy Joseph and Mary the maid,
To whom Christ the Babe was coming,
Left behind them Nazareth,
In the morning's early dawining.
"Don dorondon", Mary sings as Jesus sleeps.

In their poverty, they could not find
Any room for weary Mary,
Save a stable, cold and bare;
'Mid the animals they tarried.
"Don dorondon", Mary sings as Jesus sleeps.

Seeking wood, Joseph left Mary there,
So alone, within the stable;
To our Lord she then gave birth;
For a bed, she found a manger.
"Don dorondon", Mary sings as Jesus sleeps.
