Love, like that bird from paradise,

I want to let it flee afore it dies.

The cage of my bosom can’t hold it any more

Because it’s hard to love someone

And breathe no word to two or three

It breaks the bars and sets itself free.

You live far from me and giggle

Yet I have no choice but go through this struggle.

So far, I have told neither a man nor a woman.

I would rather love you and trace you like a shadow

Than you leave me for good and never return.
