Translation
Bilingual
A young man fell in love with truth
And searching the wide world for her
He found her in a small house
In a clearing in the forest
She was old and she was stooped
He pledged himself to her
To chop wood and to carry water
To collect the root, the stem, the leaf
And the flowering top and seed
Of every plant she'd need to do her work
ย
Years went by until one day
The young man woke up longing for a child
He went to the old woman
And he asked to be released
From his oath to her
That he might return to the world
ย
Certainly she said
On one condition
You must tell them that I am young and beautiful
You must tell them that I am young and beautiful
