Language: Catalan (Català)

Our translations: ENG SPA

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”.
