Levad', amigo que dormides as frias manhanas: toda-las aves do mundo d'amor cantavan, leda m' and' eu. Toda-las aves do mundo d'amor dizian, do meu amor e do voss' enmentarian, leda m' and' eu. Toda-las aves do mundo d'amor cantavan, do meu amor e do voss' i enmentavan, leda m' and' eu. Do meu amor e do voss' enmentarian, vos lhi tolhestes os ramos en que siian, leda m' and' eu. Do meu amor e do voss' i enmentavan, vos lhi tolhestes os ramos en que pousavan, leda m' and' eu. Vos lhi tolhestes os ramos en que siian, e lhi secastes as fontes en que bevian, leda m' and' eu. Vos lhi tolhestes os ramos en que pousavan, e lhi secastes as fontes u se banhavan, leda m' and' eu. |
