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
