Pour aller retrouver son fiancé, 
sous le grand saule qui est au bord du fleuve,
elle avait mis ses deux plus belles robes.

Lorsque le soleil commença de décliner,
ils causaient encore, tendrement.
Tout à coup, elle se leva, honteuse,
parce qu'elle n'avait plus sa troisième robe :
l'ombre du saule.
