Listen my friends to the bells that tinkle and jankle
The early and spontaneous arrival of autumn,
It is a painful and unusual surprise for the birds,
Which wanted to dawdle among the weak reeds.

Tonight, the sun will disappear surreptitiously sooner.
The schoolboys are unhappy. They refuse to utter...
