Here you can see pupils from 5th grade (10-11 years old) singing in the Christmas Festival recently celebrated at the Culture House of Sant Joan d'Alacant. They played at this occasion two traditional songs "Mareta, mareta" (in valentian language) and "Aurtxoa seaskan" (in basque language) that you can listen one in the following link
The lyrics say Phonetical transcription
Mareta, mareta [Mare'ta, mare'ta]
anit vaig somiar [anit' vatʃ somia']
la nina tenia [la ni'na teni'a]
bonicos els ulls, [boni'kos els uʎs]
la cara molt fina [la ka'ra mol fi'na]
i els cabells molt rulls [i els kabeʎs' mol ruʎs]
And they mean, more or less
Sweet mom, sweet mom
tonight I dreamed
a little girl she had
pretty eyes,
a thin face
and a curly hair
