Die Jünglinge haben Mühlsteine müssen tragen und die Knaben über dem Holztragen straucheln.
Llevaron los mozos a moler, Y los muchachos desfallecieron en la leña.
Les jeunes hommes ont porté la meule, Les enfants chancelaient sous des fardeaux de bois.
I giovani hanno portata la macinatura, E i fanciulli son caduti per le legne.
Aos jovens obrigaram a moer, e os meninos caíram debaixo das cargas de lenha.
年輕人扛磨石, 孩童背木柴而跌倒。
