1. THE TALE OF THE “CAPGROSSOS” OF VANDELLÒS
ESCOLA MESTRAL DE L’HOSPITALET DE L’INFANT

2. THIS IS THE STORY OF TWO
CAPGROSSOS, THE FADRINA BORRANYA
AND YOUNG TIMÓ, WHO LIVED A
BEAUTIFUL STORY NEARBY THE
REMULLÀ WASHING PLACE.

3. BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS OF VANDELLÒS AND
L’HOSPITALET DE L’INFANT

4. A SMALL TOWN CALLED REMULLÀ

5. LIVED FADRINA BORRANYA WITH HER
PARENTS

6. SHE LOVED TO GO TO WASH AT THE TOWN
WASHING PLACE

7. THERE SHE MET WITH HER FRIENDS. THEY WENT FOR
WATER AT THE FOUNTAIN, WASHED THE CLOTHES AND
ALSO THEY GOT THEIR HAIR DONE

8. BUT ONE DAY, WHEN SHE WAS GOING TO WASH HER
CLOTHES, SHE MET TIMÓ, A VERY NICE BOY

9. HE WAS THE SON OF CASTELLÓ’S MILLNER, WHO
CAME TO REMULLÀ TO DELIVER SOME FLOUR

10. TIMÓ WAS A VERY HANDSOME, FUNNY AND
CHEERFUL BOY, HE CHARMED EVERYBOBY WITH
HIS WORDS

11. EVEN WITH BORRANYA , WHO AFTER A LONG TALK
WITH HIM, FORGOT THAT SHE HAD TO GO BACK HOME

12. HER MOTHER WAS SO WORRIED THAT SHE WENT TO
THE WASHING PLACE LOOKING FOR HER

13. THE BOY, SO POLITE, INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO HER
PARENTS AND EXPLAIN THAT HE WAS THE ONE HO
HELD HER DAUGHTER EXPLAINING HER STORIES FROM
HIS MILL

14. THE PARENTS, AFTER SEEING A SO POLITE BOY,
INVITED HIM TO THEIR HOUSE

15. AND THAT’S HOW TIMÓ AND BORRANYA BEGAN
THEIR FRIENDSHIP

16. AND THEIR TALKS AT THE WASHING PLACE WERE
KNOWN BY ALL THE TOWN

17. ONE DAY THEY EVEN HAVE A BIG PARTY AT THE
TOWN SQUARE

18. TIMÓ AND BORRANYA GOT MARRIED AND THEY
WERE VERY HAPPY, AND THEY NEVER STOPED
GOING TO THE WASHING PLACE

19. AND FRIAR CELESTÍ FROM L’HOSPITALET DE L’INFANT
BLESSED THEM

20. AND THAT’S HOW FROM THAT MOMENT, THE
CHILDREN WHO GOES TO DRINK WATER AT THE
FOUNTAIN OF THE WASHING PLACE SAYS THAT THEY
CAN STILL HEAR BORRANYA AND TIMÓ TALKING

21. THE WASHING PLACE HAS BECAME A PLACE WHERE
CHILDREN GO FOR THE AFTERNOON SNACK AND PLAY

22. AND EVERYBODY SINGS THE SONG OF THE
FADRINA AND THE MILLER
 La fadrina va a la font
a buscar un cantiret d'aigua,
refilant com un ocell
i saltant com una daina.

Al passar prop del molí
troba algú que l'esperava,
troba el fill del moliner
que li fa mitja rialla.
"Si em donessis un clavell
jo te'n tornaria quatre.

23. Quan arriba de la font
li botzina així sa mare:
- Molt trigaves a tornar.
- És la font que a penes raja.
- Molt despentinada vas!
- És que el vent m'ha escabellat!
- Molt enfarinada véns!
- És la pols que aixeca l'aire.
- Jo no veig que faci vent
ni que aixequi pols tan blanca!
- Aquí a dalt pot ser que no...
allà baix fa un altre oratge.

24. MY STORY IS DONE. BUT THIS STORY WILL GO
ON, AS LONG AS GRASS GROWS AND RIVERS
RUN.

25. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH
