Still and icy water...
The lake is beautiful and lovely,
a mountain placidity,
a gentle message tells you:
"Look there, to the sun,
towards the last mountain,
the one that touches the river...
Behind it... there is Spain.
Turn your gaze upwards,
beyond the Envalira pass:
on the other side we have
France overlooking us...
And all that remains in between",
says the voice that very softly cries out
"is a beautiful paradise...
It is our Andorran land...!"
The lake lies in deep silence,
the night has spread among the...
Do you know the lake I am talking about?
It is Lake Engolasters!
