Somia, somia, tu dolça vida meva, en el cel que les flors porta. Allà llueixen les flors que viuen de la cançó que la teva mare canta. Somia, somia, poncella del meu patiment en el dia que les flors brotaren, en la clara i florida matinada quan la teva animeta s'obrí al món. Somia, somia, flor de la meva vida en la tranquil·la, en la sagrada nit, en la que la flor del seu amor convertí aquest món en un cel.
