Lyrics
Mercè
Palma n'és llunyana
Sóc lluny dels carrers
Lluny dels ametllers
I d’aquells carrers que clou la murada
Mercè
Lluny del teu esguard
I del vent tranquil
De la casa clara
Mercè
Lluny d’aquells terrats
On els gorrions s’estimen i canten
I les monges estenen
Els pecats del món i la roba blanca
I un frare balla
Arran de teulada
Esperant prendre el vol
Cap al cel tan blau
Faldilles enlaire
Mercè
Taronges i flors damunt de la taula
Les gavines t’acompanyin
El lent caminar cap a l’hora baixa
Sempre tornaré
A la nostra platja
Les ones no em deixen, mu mare
Allunyar-me'n massa
Lyrics translation
Mercy
Palma is distant
I am far from the streets
Away from the almond trees
And of those streets that ends with the wall
Mercy
Away from your gaze
And the wind calm
Of the house clear
Mercy
Far from those rooftops
Where the gorrions they love and sing
And the nuns spread out
The sins of the world and the white clothes
And a friar dance
As a result of roof
Waiting to take flight
The sky so blue
Skirts blown up
Mercy
Oranges and flowers on the table
Seagulls will accompany
The slow walk to the low hours
Always come back
On our beach
The waves me not to leave, mu mother
Away-I'm too
