Wow rg.. wow...

Què li darem, an el Noi de la Mare?
Què li darem que li sàpiga bo?
Panses i figues i nous i olives,
panses i figues i mel i mató.

Què li darem, al fillet de Maria?
què li darem a l'hermós Jesuset?
Jo li voldria donar una cota
que l'abrigués ara que fa tant fred.

Una cançó jo també cantaria,
una cançó ben bonica d'amor,
i que n'és treta d'una donzelleta
que n'és la Verge Mare del Senyor.

...

....

Li darem panses amb unes balances,
li darem figues amb un paneret:
tam, pa, tam, tam, que les figues són verdes,
tam, pa, tam, tam, que ja maduraran;
si no maduren el dia de Pasqua
maduraran en el dia del Ram.

Beautiful song, but what are panses?

When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind

Pansa - Viquipèdia
Una pansa és un aliment obtingut per l'assecament d'un fruit, en particular, el raïm o les prunes.
Raisins.

This is funny, my father sometimes used this old word from La Mancha: pansío which I understood to mean something like 'spent' but now clearly shares the etimology of panses.
