Colomes blanques

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Colomes blanques
volen a l’aire blau del matí...
saludeu, blanques colomes
la meva noia de part meva!
Si el meu nom voleia
davant la seva finestra
a l’atzur del matí,
com s’alegrarà! --
“Oh vosaltres, dolces, blanques colomes
en l’atzur del matí,
saludeu-lo de part meva,
saludeu-lo un altre cop!”

Vosaltres, blanques colomes!
