Falter/ Butterflies/ Mariposas

Wie leuchtende Blumen Der Flügelschlag der Falter Im frühen Morgenwind Schillerndes Spiel über Sommergras In freudigem Auf und Ab --------------------------------------------- Like brightest flowers The wing beat of butterflies In early morning's breeze Dazzling game over summer grass In such joyful ups and downs -------------------------------------------- Como flores brillantes El aletazo de mariposas En temprano viento de mañana Relucido juego sobre hierbas de verano En tan alegre alto y bajo
