Literal translation: 

Ah, enero, enero, | no me has muerto [matado] ninguna oveja | ni el cabestro

Comments: 

Refrán localizado en Manacor y Sóller. Nótese la forma auveia (ovella en catalán normativo), que responde al fenómeno de la "iodització", especie de yeísmo histórico y propio del catalán de las Baleares; y el uso del artículo (s') procedente del latín IPSU. Por otra parte, el refrán se pone en boca de un pastor.
