Translation:
A small reed was enough for me
To make the tall grass shudder
And all the meadow
And the sweet willows
And the stream that sings too;
A small reed was enough for me
To make the forest sing.

Those who pass by have heard it
In the silence and in the wind,
Clear or lost,
Near or far ...
Those who pass, in their thoughts,
By listening, deep inside,
Will always hear it singing.
​
I only needed this reed
At the fountain in which Love came
To observe, one day,
Her radiant face,
To make those who pass loved;
And I, from the breath of a reed,
Made the whole forest sing.
