Bon dia, nostre pare,
bon dia, nostre rei!
Pagueu-nos la soldada
perquè és de dreta llei.
Bon dia, fills, bon dia,
digueu-me d'on veniu?
Venim de Barcelona,
bon par(e), aquí ens teniu.
Quin és el vostre ofici
m'hauríeu d'explicar.
El nostre ofici, pare,
mireu-lo com se fa.
Lireta, lirondaina,
lireta, lirondí.
Aquell qui té un ofici
de fam no es pot morir.
'Good morning, our father,
Goof morning, our king!
Pay us our salary
Because it’s our right.
Good morning, sons, good morning,
Tell me, where do you come from?
We come from Barcelona,
Good father here you have us.
Which is your profession
You have to tell me.
Our profession, father.
Lyra, lirondaina,
Lyra, lirondi.
The one that has a profession
won’t starve to death.'
