Amparito

Cançó popular valenciana / Valencian folk song

 

Amparito,

la filla del mestre,

diuen que festeja

‘en’ un xic foraster.

El diumenge,

quan va a missa d’onze,

el nóvio darrere

li porta el catret.

I, com és tan xicoteta,

meneja el culet. (2)

Amparito,

the teacher’s daughter,

people say she is courting

with a foreigner.

On Sunday,

when she comes to the eleven mass,

her fiancé, behind,

is giving her the stool.

And, that she is as little,

she moves the bum. (2)

 

Amparito,

la filla del mestre,

abans festejava

‘en’ un foraster.

I el diumenge,

quan va a missa d’onze,

ningú va darrere

portant-li el catret.

I, com és tan xicoteta,

meneja el culet. (2)

Amparito,

the teacher’s daughter,

before was going out

with a foreigner.

And on Sunday,

when she comes to the eleven mass,

nobody is behind her

giving her the stool.

And, that she is as little,

she moves the bum. (2)

 

Amparito,

la filla del mestre,

ja no se’n recorda

d’aquell foraster.

El diumenge,

quan va a missa d’onze,

un xicot del poble

li porta el catret.

I, com és tan xicoteta,

meneja el culet. (2)

Amparito,

the teacher’s daughter,

now doesn’t remember

that foreigner.

On Sunday,

when she comes to the eleven mass,

a young man of the village,

carries her the stool.

And, that she is as little,

she moves the bum. (2)
