THE SONG ( Eng l i sh trans i a t i on)
The Nightingale wrote a letter on a willow leaf,
When he finished It the wind interrupted the
si ience,
The Nightingale cut off the leaf and carried it
to Spring
And then sat on a pine.
Spring waved her hand and the sun came out,
The Nightingale fluttered his feathers
And a song "dana, dana" burst forth in the
meadow
On that glorious morn! ng.
The moon went down beyond the pale l ining of the
Clouds
When Spring took the leaf in her hands
And read the words which contained
The sadness and sorrow of the Nightingale.
