Lyrics
Oh, senyor botiguer! Sempre us he vist ficat
Dins d’un sac de confits i amb una peixera al cap
Entre cebes i alls i pernils
Oh, senyor botiguer! Sou vós i els vostres fills
Que perfumen els carrers amb floretes d’anís
Que mai no heu olorat ni heu sentit quan la flor ha de florir
Oh, senyor botiguer! Sempre heu fet un bon pas
Vos sou home de seny, senyor botiguer
Vos sou l’home amagat del meu somni ancestral
Personatge important del meu somni perdut
On aquest barri humit, aquest barri envellit
Pels efluvis del mar i del vent
Vos sou l’home malalt que fuig corrent del meu llit
Quan arribo a dormir sense somnis estranys
Oh, senyor botiguer! Morireu de bon temps
Amb el cel tan serè com el món curt i estret
De bon jan català, honorable i cristià
Que heu creat
Lyrics translation
Oh, mr. shopkeeper! Always you've seen gone
Within a sack of confits and with a fishbowl head
Between onions and garlic and ham
Oh, mr. shopkeeper! You are you and your children
That perfumen the streets with flowers of the anise
That you've never smelled, nor did you feel when the flower has bloomed
Oh, mr. shopkeeper! You have always made a good step
You are man of good sense, mr. shopkeeper
You're the man hidden from my dream ancestral
Important personage of my dream lost
Where this district of wet, this district aged
For discharges to the sea and the wind
You are the ill man that runs the current of my bed
When I get to sleep without weird dreams
Oh, mr. shopkeeper! Morireu a good time
With the sky so serene as the world short and narrow
Of good jan Catalan, honorable and christian
That you have created
