English Meaning
Some fragrant trees, covered with flowers and some with buds, appear beautifully green. Saying, 'this is sweet', 'this is pleasant' and 'this is full-blown', the attached bees are falling to the trees. And rising again they are approaching the other trees growing on the banks of Pampā.
