Love bird

Your joyous song

Lures me jealously along

To seek your secret

 

I catch you

And put you into my cage

So your song will be only mine

To sweeten my life

 

But dearest

Your song has grown sad

Sitting so alone in this small cage

And your story's grown old

 

So fly free

Back into the sky

Back into the trees

To sing again

 

My little one

I will never forget

Your precious gift to me

I will always cherish your serenity
