Damunt d'una terra                                              Over a land
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vailet, et diuen que a les guerres                    Boy, they say in wars
tan sols hi ha tristeses,                            there is only sadness,
no s'hi guanya mai.                                        no one ever win.
Damunt d'aquesta terra encesa                        Over this lighted land
tot all" que s feble                                       everything weak
vol ignorar els mals                           wants to ignore all diseases
I en Maurici va escoltar                                  And Maurici heard
per" segueix a terra sense fer-ne cas,  but stays in land taking no notice,
perqu` uns altres li han dit tant        because others said so much to him
que la seva vida s patir sota el fang    that his life is suffer under mud
Recorda les raons que un dia              Remember the reasons that one day
varen canviar els signes                                  changed the signs
d'aquell temps passat.                                   of that past time.
Ell ha marcat la teva vida                              He marked your life
amb una ferida                                                 with a wound
que tu has decorat                                     you have embellished
I en Maurici va escoltant                         And Maurici keeps hearing
i pensa que ja sap                                      and thinks he knows
el perqu` dels mals.                             the cause to all diseases.
Per" se'n torna, i est& dubtant,         But he comes back, and is doubting
i altres veus                                              and other voices
ressonen tamb al seu voltant.                         echo too around him.
Vailet, no siguis anarquista                        Boy, don't be anarchist
i ves a la conquista(*)                                  and go to conquest
de l'honor ms alt,                                       of highest honor,
que al teu costat tindr&s la for!a cause you'll have the force by your side
que ens porta a l'ordre                              that takes us to order
i ens permet la pau.                                      and allows peace.
I en Maurici sap molt b                        And Maurici knows very well
que si noms dubta poca cosa t        that if he just doubts he has little
En Maurici sap qu` fer,                           Maurici knows what do to,
trobar& els companys                                 he'll meet his fellows
i sortir& al carrer.                            and will go out the street.

NOTES:
 - 'conquista' (conquering) is wrong, it should be 'conquesta'.
 - 'encesa' can mean 'lighted' or 'burning'
