Flautista

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

Lliurada de la càrrega dels pensaments i de l’ànima,
noia, la teva joventut et canta una cançó.
Dolces notes ingènues de la flauta pastorívola,
oh, meravella, tornes a portar lligats a tu tots els afanys i pensaments de la flautista.
