谁家玉笛暗飞声， 散入春风满洛城。 此夜曲中闻折柳， 何人不起故园情！

Un jour, par-dessus le feuillage et les fleurs embaumées, le vent m’apporta le son d’une flûte lointaine. Alors j’ai coupé une branche de saule et j’ai répondu une chanson. Depuis, la nuit, lorsque tout dort, les oiseaux entendent une conversation dans leur langage.
