Catalunya, triomfant,
tornarŕ a ser rica i plena !
Endarrera aquesta gent
tan ufana i tan superba !
Bon cop de falç !
Bon cop de falç, defensors de la terra !
Bon cop de falç !
Ara és hora, segadors !
Ara és hora d'estar alerta !
Per quan vingui un altre juny
esmolem ben bé les eines !
(répéter)
Que tremoli l'enemic
en veient la nostra ensenya :
com fem caure espigues d'or,
quan convé seguem cadenes !
(répéter).
