Aigües de la primavera que degoten pels jardins, posades damunt les branques, les gotes es tornen brins. Al cor d'una trista fotja tremolen els cels divins. S'acuita la neu a fondre's i baixa torrent endins; la fressa de les escumes, com mou el fullam dels pins! Com sotgen, les flors novelles! Com dringuen aquests matins! Al riu de les aigües noves diuen que hi ha tres remolins: ”L’un molia or i plata, l’altre perles i robins, l’altre l’amor de les dames que captiven els fadrins”.

Waters of spring that drip in the gardens! placed on the branches, the drops become strands. In the heart of the clear pool the divine heavens tremble. All the snow has now melted and runs into the freshet; oh, the rustling of the spume that carries the pine needles! How the new flowers blossom! How the mornings tinkle! By the river of fresh waters three mills have been placed: “One milled gold and silver, another pearls and rubies, and the third ladies’ love to enchant young lads”.
