Les sages dansent
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Dans ma flûte aux bouts de jade, j'ai chanté une chanson aux humains ; mais les humains ne m'ont pas compris. Alors j'ai levé ma flûte vers le ciel, et j'ai dit ma chanson aux Sages. Les Sages se sont réjouis ; ils ont dansé sur les nuages resplendissants ; Et maintenant les humains me comprennent, lorsque je chante en m'accompagnant de ma flûte aux bouts de jade.
