when the ice and the snow and the mud
and the birds’ beaks are mute
and the hedge-branches are dry
no leaf nor bud sprouts up,
nor cries the nightingale
whose song awakens me in May.
• Lines 1–8, as translated by Magda Bogin, The Women Troubadours (1976), p. 95
Ar em al freg temps vengut
quel gels el neus e la fainga
el aucellet estan mut,
c'us de chanter non s'afrainga;
e son sec li ram pels plais —
que flors ni foilla noi nais
ni rossignols non i crida,
que l'am e mai me reissida.
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Ar em al freg temps vengut
quel gels el neus e la fainga
el aucellet estan mut,
c'us de chanter non s'afrainga;
e son sec li ram pels plais —
que flors ni foilla noi nais
ni rossignols non i crida,
que l'am e mai me reissida." in the context of "Now we are come to the cold time
when the ice and the snow and the mud
and the birds’ beaks are mute
and the hedge-branches are dry
no leaf nor bud sprouts up,
nor cries the nightingale
whose song awakens me in May.
• Lines 1–8, as translated by Magda Bogin, The Women Troubadours (1976), p. 95" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
