1  T'arreceres a la falda perquè el sot et dóna enuig,
o per l'aire que t'escalfa des de Sant Pere del Puig.

2  No et desvetlles per feresa, ni t'aclofes per despit,
ni el teu viure de pagesa porta res d'emperesit.

3  Si en la lluita sarraïna t'embrunies de la pell,
en missal i mantellina fas la pols a Castellvell.

4  I la veu de la campana va fent públic el teu bé,
com un goig que s'encomana quan arribes a Almoster.

1  You, [little town of Almoster,] huddle on the mountainside, shunning the boggy ground
Or for the sake of the breeze which warms you from Sant Pere del Puig.

2  You do not stay awake out of fear, nor crouch there out of rancour,
Nor is there any trace of idleness in your rustic life.

3  Though your skin may have been tanned while fighting the Saracens,
you don a shawl to go to Mass, outshining Castellvell.

4  The sound of the bell seems to say 'All's well with the world',
Like the joy which warms the traveller's heart as he approaches Almoster.
