Comte Arnau [English translation]

The countess is seated, in widow’s weeds

The countess is seated in her palace

In her chamber, God save me !

In her chamber appears Count Arnau

Where are your daughters, my faithful wife ?

Where are your daughters, my widow in your weeds ?

In the chamber they are embroidering, Count Arnau

In the chamber they are embroidering silk and muslin.

Let me take one of our daughters, my faithful wife,

she will share the griefs I’m enduring

It's you who have earned them, God save me,

You alone have to endure them, as you can, Count Arnau.

What time can it be, that the cockerel crows, my faithful wife

What time can it be, that the cockerel crows, my widow in your weeds

The clock has struck twelve, God save me

The clok, has struck twelve, Count Arnaud
