The King's Singers - Din Dirin Din

A short clip from the BBC TV series Madrigal History Tour (1984).
The madrigals in the 6 programmes are performed by The King's Singers.

Lyrics (Catalan):

Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
Je me levé un bel maitin,
Matineta per la prata;
encontré le ruyseñor,
que cantaba so la rama, dindirindin.
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
Encontré le ruyseñor,
que cantaba so la rama,
"Ruyseñor, le ruyseñor,
facteme aquesta embaxata,
dindirin din."
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
"Ruyseñor, le ruyseñor,
facteme aquesta embaxata,
Y digalo a mon ami:
que je ya só maritata, dindirindin."
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.

English translation:

Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
I arose one fine day
and spent the morning in the meadow;
I heard the nightingale
singing on the bough, din-di-rin-din.
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
I heard the nightingale
singing on the bough,
Nightingale, oh nightingale,
do this errand for me,
din-di-rin-din.
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
Nightingale, oh nightingale,
do this errand for me,
tell my lover
that I am already married! Din-di-rin-din.
Dindirin danya, dindirindin.
