Butterfly

Fluttering in the vast blue sky
Wondering at the pretty flowers,
Dancing and sucking the tasty nectar
Let me be free like this forever!

One day rose, one day jasmine
One day dalia, one day lily,
Let me fly from one flower to other
Drinking the wine to delight myself.

My little life is so short!
How I wish to live a little long-
To explore this beautiful world,
And be in a trance of happiness!

Don’t catch me, demons of earth,
My velvet wings are so fragile!
My tiny legs are so delicate!
That I cant stand your grip.

Don’t be cruel to me, allow me to live
Let me fly freely, in the bosom of my mother earth
Let me die freely, in the lap of my mother earth
You can see my pretty body withered when I die.
