Original text and translations

Catalan text

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 rosa bella fecunda i poncella.

El primer pare causà la nit tenebrosa

Que a tot el món ofuscà la vista penosa;

Mes, en una mitja nit, brilla el sol que n'és eixit

D'una bella aurora que el cel enamora.

El mes de maig ha florit, sens ésser encara,

Un lliri blanc i polit de fragància rara,

Que per tot el món se sent, de Llevant fins a Ponent,

Tota sa dolçura i olor amb Ventura.

English translation

Frozen, dim December retreats.

The whole world marvels at April, crowned by flowers,

When in a garden of love a divine flower is born

From a beautiful rose, fruitful and virginal.

Our first father [Adam] brought on the night

Which darkens everyone's sight.

But at midnight, the risen sun shines --

Announcing a beautiful dawn, delighting the sky.

The month of May has blossomed, not yet in full flower.

A white and shining lily, of such rare fragrance

That from Orient to Occident all can breathe in

All its sweetness and scent with blessedness.
