El Gall - Joan Manuel Serrat

M’he guanyat cada lloança

Cada crit d’admiració!

Sóc el símbol de la França!

I al corral, quan ve pitança

Jo l’estreno, gall que só

Ja qui em guaita ho endevina:

Em pertoca de manar

El meu bec no és de joguina

Ni suporta cap gallina

L’espurneig del meu mirar

I si el sol, per la galvana

Que sa jaça li encomana

Veu la boira i no la fon

Què fas?

-crido- tarambana!

Treu el nas i alegra el món!

I won every praise

Every shout of admiration!

I am the symbol of France!

And in the corral, when food comes

I release it, rooster alone

Whoever is watching me guesses:

It is up to me to command

My beak is not a toy

He can't stand a hen

The spark of my gaze

And if the sun, for the galvanizing

That his bed entrusts him

He sees the fog and does not melt it

What are you doing?

-cried- tarambana!

Get your nose out and cheer up the world!
