Catalunya triomfant, tornarà a ser rica i plena. Endarrera aquesta gent tan ufana i tan superba.	Catalonia triumphant Will once again be rich and bountiful, Drive them back, these people So conceited and so arrogant.
Bon colp de falç, Bon colp de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon colp de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
Ara és hora, segadors. Ara és hora d'estar alerta. Per quan vingui un altre juny esmolem ben bé les eines.	Now is the time, reapers, Now is the time to be alert. For when another June comes, Let us sharpen our tools well.
Bon colp de falç, Bon colp de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon colp de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
Que tremoli l'enemic en veient la nostra ensenya. Com fem caure espigues d'or, quan convé seguem cadenes.	Let the enemy tremble On seeing our banner. Just as we cut down golden stalks of wheat, When the time is right, chains will follow.
Bon colp de falç, Bon colp de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon colp de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
