“Mila la cantava ara a mitja veu, tremolosa, per tal de desfogar el seu pit d'aquell sentiment que l'enfebrosia, i en el to de la cançó l'ànima semblava plorar-li.”

Mila sang now at half strength, shaky, in order to unburden her heart of the sentiment that enfevered it, and in the sound of the song her soul seemed to be crying to him.

“—"Plora, fill meu, plora! Plora i desfoga't! Les llàgrimes et netejaran les entranyes de la pena i l'esglai que duies dins!”

Cry, my son, cry! Cry and unburden yourself! The tears will cleanse your entrails of the suffering and fear that you were carrying inside!"
