Lyrics
Majoral, vell majoral
P’es gener va fer nevada
I p’es 'bril va pedregar:
Hem tengut molt mala anyada
Majoral, deixau-m'hi anar
A collir a sa llaurada;
Jo no hi vaig p’es pareller
Ni p’es parell ni s’arada
Jo hi vaig per un jornaler
Que em té sa vida guanyada
Majoral, vós no em pagau
Ni un sou per sa diada
Jo treball per un jornaler
No vull ser tan mal pagada
Majoral, 'vui no heu pensat
A pagar-me sa feinada
Però pensau-hi demà
Que si no passarem gana
Majoral, vós sou ben l’amo
D’es canyar i de sa secada
Però no ho sereu mai
De sa meva quarterada
Majoral, vell majoral
Es joves han fuït de casa
Han anat cap a Ciutat
Sa terra ja no els agrada
Lyrics translation
Majoral, old majoral
P is January was nevada
And p is 'bril was scree:
We have had a very bad vintage
Majoral, close me go
To pick up in sa, worked;
I there I p is pareller
Or p is a pair or plow
I for a labourer
I have healthy life gained
Majoral, you not me pagau
Nor a salary for his day
I work for a labourer
I don't want to be so badly paid
Majoral, 'vui you haven't thought of
To pay me sa lot of work
But pensau there tomorrow
If you do not pass appetite
Majoral, you are quite the master
Of cognac and sa secada
But it will be never
Sa my quarterada
Majoral, old majoral
You young people have fuït home
Have gone towards City
Sa land already do not like
