Aquest camí tan fi, tan fi
Language: Catalan (Català)
Our translations: ENG
Aquest camí tan fi, tan fi, qui sap on mena! És a la vila o és al pi de la carena? Un lliri blau, color de cel, diu: vine, vine! Però: no passis! – diu un vel de teranyina. Serà drecera del gosat, rossola ingrata, o bé un camí d’enamorat, colgat de mata? És un recer per a dormir qui passi pena? Aquest camí tan fi tan fi, qui sap on mena? Qui sap si trist o somrient acull a l’hoste? Qui sap si mor sobtadament sota la brosta? Qui sabrà mai aquest camí a què em convida! I és camí incert cada matí, n’és cada vida!
