Flor
Maria Mauri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
desperts ... i això que tu dorms ... i baixen rius
bullint voltats d'ocells cantaires ... que fràgil que
sembla aquest llumet que no s'ha apagat mai i
que no s'apaga mai per molt que ho sembli per-
què té els ulls tancats, ara. El nus, la flor.

The knot, the flower."

The imagery of flowing rivers and singing birds adds to the atmosphere of calmness.
