RAOUL
No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears,
I'm here: nothing can harm you --
my words will warm and calm you...

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...

CHRISTINE
Say you'll love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...

Say you need me with you, now and aways...
promise me that all you say is true --
that's all I ask of you...

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light.
You're safe: no one will find you --
your fears are far behind you...

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night...
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me...

RAOUL
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...
let me lead you from your solitude...
Say you need me with you here, beside you...
anywhere you go let me go too --
Christine, that's all I ask of you...

CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...
Say the word, and I will follow you...

BOTH
Share each day with me, each night, each morning...

CHRISTINE
Say you love me...

RAOUL
You know I do...

BOTH
Love me --
that's all I ask of you...

Anywhere you go let me go too...
Love me --
that's all I ask of you...

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment
I'd like to choose how I hear the news
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please

Let me down easy
No big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks
No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend that day
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees
Tell me on a Sunday please


Don't want to know who's to blame
It won't help knowing
Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going


Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday please


Don't want to fight day and night
Bad enough you're going
Don't leave in silence with no word at all
Don't get drunk and slam the door
That's no way to end this
I know how I want you to say goodbye


Don't run off in the pouring rain
Don't call me as they call your plane
Take the hurt out of all the pain
Take me to a park that's covered with trees
Tell me on a Sunday please

That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander.

The leaves may be falling,
But April is calling
And the prim roses beckon me yonder.


For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore.
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more.
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate.


That old arc is saying
It's time to go straying
When no one but April can find me.


To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me.


Just one more walk along the garden
One more stroll along the shore.
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more.
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate.


One more rose before I close the garden gate.

CHRISTINE
Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.

When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me.

We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember
stop and think
of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.

Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you . . .

RAOUL
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?

Bravo!

What a change!
You're really
not a bit
the gawkish girl
that once you were . . .

She may
not remember me
, but I remember
her . . .

CHRISTINE
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but please
promise me,
that sometimes
you will think
of me!

Midnight,
not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight, the withered
leaves collect at my feet,
and the wind begins to moan.

아무런 소리 들리지 않는
고요한 이 밤 거리,
달은 지나간 추억을 잊어버린듯
메마른 미소만 짓고 있어.
가로등 아래에 선 두 발 위로
마른 잎새 굴러와 쌓이고,
바람마저 흐느끼며 스쳐가네.

Memory,
All alone in the moonlight,
I can dream of the old days.
Life was beautiful then.
I remember the time
I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again.

쓸쓸한 달빛에 젖어
더욱 외로워지지만,
나는 지나간 추억을 꿈꾸지.
그때는 모든 것이 아름다웠어.
행복했던 그 시절이
추억속에 아른거리네.
그 시절이 너무나도 그리워.

Every steet lamp seems to beat
a fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters,
and the street lamp gutters
and soon it will be morning.

아침이 오면 꺼져야하는 운명이 싫어
몸부림쳐 흔들리는 가로등 불빛.
누군가 두런거리며 새벽을 알리고,
등불을 내리러 돌아다니면,
또다시 아침이 밝아오겠지.

Daylight,
I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life
and I musn't give in.
When the dawn comes,
tonight will be a memory too
and a new day will begin.

아침이 오면
다시 떠오르는 태양과 같이,
나의 새로운 삶이 시작되는거야.
난 포기할 수 없어.
이 밤이 지나고 새벽이 오면,
지나간 밤은 추억으로 남겨지고
새로운 날이 시작되겠지.

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
the stale cold smell of morning.
The street lamp dies,
another night is over,
another day is dawning.

어두웠던 나날들의
지저분한 아침은 더 이상 없을거야.
가로등 불빛이 사라져가고,
이 밤도 끝나가고 있네.
새 날이 밝아오고 있어.

Touch me,
it's so easy to leave me,
all alone with the memory
of my days in the sun.
If you touch me,
you'll understand
what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.

내게로 와 줘...
우리가 함께 지내며 느낄수 있었던
찬란했던 지난날들의
그 추억을 다시 한번 느껴보고 싶어.
우리가 서로 곁에 있을수만 있다면
우린 다시 행복해질 수 있을거야.
지난날의 그 시절처럼...
자, 우리 다시 시작하는거야.

If I ever fall in love again,
It'll be with someone just like you.
I don't say that I'm in love again
But on the day you came my way, I knew.
If I ever fall in love again,
This is just the way it ought to be,
But if it's really love again,
I'll leave to fate, I'd rather wait and see.
How can I know
When my head is saying no
And my heart's telling me that it's real?
Can it be wrong
If I burst into song
At the wonder of feeling the way
That I suddenly feel?
If I ever fall in love again
I shall know exactly what to do.
And when I fall in love again
I know it must be someone just like you.
The way that I suddenly feel!
If I ever fall in love again
I shall know exactly what to do.
And when I fall in love again
I know it must be someone just like you.

************************************************
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it -- wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?


Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me -- and they do


So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going go?


Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion
But that's no consolation -- here and now


So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?
Don't ask anymore

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The tears and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend


So try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there


Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend


So whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there


So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there

Surrender

No more wars to fight
White flags fly tonight
You are out of danger now
Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
Peace can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
But I'll fight unto the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now till I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender
Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
Peace can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
But I'll fight unto the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now till I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender

Everlasting

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night


Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before


Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night


Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to go
Only then can you belong to me


Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony which dreams alone can write
The power of the music of the night


You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Don Black.

*************************************
I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing


I don't know what is going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bear to lose me


Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing


I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me


Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing


Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

Show: "Cats" (1981).
************************************************
Sarah
Gus is the cat at the theatre door
His name, as I ought to have told you before
Is really Asparagus, but that's a fuss to pronounce
That we usually call him just Gus
His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake
And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake
For he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats
But no longer a terror to mice or to rats

For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime
Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time
And whenever he joins his friends at their club
(Which takes place at the back of the neighbouring pub)
He loves to regale them, if someone else pays
With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days
For he once was a star of the highest degree
He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree
And he likes to relate his success on the halls
Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
But his grandest creation as he loves to tell
Was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell


Sir John
I have played in my time every possible part
And I used to know seventy speeches by heart
I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag
And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag
I knew how to act with my back and my tail
With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail
I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts
Whether I took the lead, or in character parts
I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell
When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell
In the pantomime season, I never fell flat
And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat
But my grandest creation, as history will tell
was Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell

Sarah
Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin
He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne
At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat
When some actor suggested the need for a cat

Sir John
And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained
As we did in the days when Victoria reigned
They never get drilled in a regular troupe
And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop

Sarah
And he says as he scratches himself with his claws

Sir John
Well the theatre is certainly not what is was
These modern productions are all very well
But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell
That moment of mystery when I made history
As Firefrorefiddle, the fiend of the fell

CHRISTINE
In sleep he sang to me,
in dreams he came...
that voice which calls to me
and speaks my name...

And do I dream again?
For now I find the Phantom of the Opera is there --
inside my mind...

PHANTOM
Sing once again with me our strange duet...
My power over you grows stronger yet...

And though you turn to me, to glance behind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there --
inside your mind...

CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face draw in fear...
I am the mask you wear...

PHANMTOM
It's me they hear...

BOTH
You / my spirit and your / my voice in one combined:
inside your / my mind...

CHORUS
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...
Beware, the Phantom of the Opera...

PHANTOM
In all your fantasies you always knew
that man and mystery...

CHRISTINE
... were both in you

BOTH
And in this labyrinth, where night is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera is there / here --
inside your / my mind...

PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music!

CHRISTINE
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera...

PHANTOM
Sing for me... sing.
Sing, my Angel... sing.
Sing for me.

It won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
But I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you?

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom,
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to


:

Don't Cry For Me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world,
It was all I desired
They're all illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answers were here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me

Don't Cry For Me Argentina. . .

CHRISTINE
You were once my one companion...
you were all that mattered...

You were once a friend and father --
then my world was shattered...

Wishing you were somehow here again...
wishing you were somehow near...
sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here...

Wishing I could hear your voice again...
knowing that I never would...
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
all that you dreamed I could...

Passing bells and sculpted angels
cold and monumental,
seem, for you, the wrong companions --
you were warm and gentle...

Too many tears fighting back tears...
Why can't the past just die...?

Wishing you were somehow here again...
knowing we must say goodbye...
Try to forgive...
teach me to live...
give me the strength to try...

No more memories, no more silent tears...
No more gazing across the wasted years...

Help me say goodbye.
Help me say goodbye.

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same!

Midnight, Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new life will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me, It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun...

Pas de tendresse
Et pas de joie,
Loin d'ici,
Loin de toi.

Rien de plus triste
Que mes soupirs,
Lorsque vient le jour
O il me faut partir.


Chanson d'enfance,
Tu vis toujours dans ma coeur.
Toi, la plus douce!
Toi, la plus tendre!


C'est la chanson
Qui dit toujours:
Dans ton esprit
Je vis toujours.


C'est la chanson
Qui dit toujours:
Dans ton esprit
Je vis toujours.


And the last three stanzas are
ed once

Nothing like you've ever known
That's the life I thought that I was gonna show you
Lonely girls believe such things
That's one happy ever after that I owe you
Married man always looking at
You watch
I wanted to spend more time than twelve till two
Loving you
And nothing like it should have been
Every time I think it's gonna be the last time
Each time I expect to much
Being wrong can get to be a painful pastime

Something new that is all it was
You know
But when you need someone any love will do
Sad but true
And nothing like we've ever known
That is how I thought all our tomorrows would be
I thought we were all we'd need
Goes to show you just how wrong two people could be

There is more to love,
So much more,
Than simply making love
That's easy.
Gazing into eyes.
Pretty eyes,
Which could be any eyes-
That's crazy.
Hands are just hands,
A face is just a face
They come and go
They're easy to replace.
There is more to love,
So much more,
Than moon-struck escapades
That's nothing.
There is peace of mind,
So much peace,
In quiet company
That's something.
Everyone but him
Seems wrong for me
There has to be more
If I could hear
The music I heard then,
I'd never let
It fade away again
There is more to love,
So much more,
Than simply making love
That's easy.
Gazing into eyes,
Pretty eyes,
Which could be any eyes
That's crazy.
Now each time
Love reaches out to me,
I can only feel
There has to be
So much more
To love.

Half a moment
We are together
I shall want no-one else
And nothing new.
Half a moment
I shall treasure,
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day.
Should you leave me
With just this moment
In my mind
I shall capture it anew,
Like some picture
Taken in my childhood
Half a moment
Spent with you.
Half a moment
I shall treasure,
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day.
Should you leave me
With just this moment
In my mind
I shall capture it anew,
Like some picture
Taken in my childhood
Half a moment
Spent with you.
Countless vivid memories
Spin before my view,
Like some toy kaleidoscope
Images of you.
Time looks kindly
On fleeting lovers
They can turn the briefest hour
Into a day
Turn a moment
To a lifetime
Making it to last
Blending future with the past.
We're together,
What else can matter?
Even though
Half a moment is too few
I shall save it
'Til I have another
Making one whole moment
Filled with you.

Note: The lines in italics are from the original song, but are not sung by Sarah.
Away from you
There is no music,
There is no sunlight,
The world is gray.
Away from you
The clocks are frozen,
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way.
The people I meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek.
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak.
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained-glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.
Away from you
The world is lifeless
As though creation
Has gone awry.
The trees are bare,
There are no flowers,
The fields are thirsty,
The streams are dry.
We live, you and I,
For a breath of sunlight,
So brief an escape
From a world of gray.
Our moments of warmth
Have been touch and go, love,
But tonight, we'll touch
And stay.
The people I meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek.
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak.
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you

Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There's so much in life to share
What's the sense when no one else is there?
Anything but lonely,
Anything but only me.
Quiet years in too much space:
That's the thing that's hard to face,
And ...
You have a right to go,
But you should also know
That I won't be alone for long.
Long days with nothing said
Are not what lie ahead
I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.
Anything but lonely,
Anything but passing time.
Lonely's what I'll never be,
While there's still some life in me,
And ...
I'm still young, don't forget,
It isn't over yet
So many hearts for me to thrill.
If you're not here to say
How good I look each day,
I'll have to find someone who will.
Anything but lonely,
Anything but empty rooms.
There's so much in life to share
What's the sense when no one else is there ...?
What's the sense when no one else is there

Once I hated this city,
Now it can't get me down.
Slushy, humid and gritty,
What a pretty town.

What, thought I, could be duller,
More depressing, less gay.
Now my favourite colour
Is grey.


A wall of rain as it turns to sleet,
The lack of sun on a one-way street,
I love the grime all the time.
And what more do I need?


My window pane has a lovely view:
An inch of sky and a fly or two.
Why, I can see half a tree.
And what more do I need?


The dusk is thick and it's galling;
It simply can't be excused.
In winter even the falling snow looks
Used.


My window pane may not give much light,
But I see you, so the view is bright.
If I can love you, I'll pay the dirt no heed!
With your love, what more do I need?


Someone shouting for quiet,
Someone starting a brawl,
Down the block there's a riot,
And I'll buy it all!


Listen, now I'm ecstatic,
Hold me close and be still.
Hear the lovely pneumatic
Drill!


A subway train thunders through the Bronx,
A taxi horn on the corner honks.
But I adore ev'ry roar.
And what more do I need?


I hear a crane making street repairs,
A two-ton child running wild upstairs.
Steam pipes bang,sirens clang,
And what more do I need?


The neighbours yell in the summer,
The landlord yells in the fall,
So loud I can't hear the plumber
Pound the wall.


An aeroplane roars across the bay,
But I can hear you as clear as day:
You said you love me
Above the sound and speed.


With your love,
What more do I need?

Chi il bel sogno di doretta
Pote indovinar?
Il suo mister come mai
Come mai fini

Ahime un giorno uno studente
In bocca la bacio
E fu quel bacio
Rivelazione
Fu la passione!
Folle amore!
Folle ebbrezza!
Chi la sottil carezza
D'un bacio cosi ardente
Mai ridir potra?


Ah! mio sogno!


Ah! mia vita!


Che importa la ricchezza
Se alfine e rifiorita
La felicita!
O sogno d'or
Poter amar cosi!

Doretta's beautiful dream

Who could guess the beautiful dream doretta had?
Why her mystery came to an end

One day a student kissed her on the mouth
And that kiss was the revelation
It was the passion!
Mad love!
Mad happiness!
Who will ever be able again
To describe the light caress
Of a kiss so burning?

Oh! my dream!

Oh! my life!

Who cares for wealth
If at last happiness comes!
Oh golden dream
To be able to love in this way!

I'm a lady when you kiss me,
I'm a child when you are leaving,
I'm a woman ev'ry time our bodies meet
complete.

Long lost feelings stir inside me,
used to think nights were for sleeping,
being wanted is a thrill I never knew
till you.


Now I'm alive, inside I'm glowing,
I'm how I want to be,
loving you I can be me,
just me.


It's the first time when you touch me,
now I long for rainy mornings,
I am certain you're the last man in my life.

tell each other to find all we're looking for
and more.


Found the rainbow I was after,
no more dreams with one face missing,
I am certain you're the last man in my life

Somehow by fate misguided,
A buttercup resided
In the mandarin's orchid garden.

A buttercup that did not please
The lovely peace of such a place.
And so it simply [shined] above
And begged each orchids pardon,
The little buttercup in the orchid garden.


The bees keep passing daily
And kiss the orchids dearly,
In the mandarin's orchid garden.


A buttercup [side] longing leaf,
But love was not for such as she.
And so under the tree of love hanged I
Still begging pardon,
The lonely buttercup in the orchid garden.


I too have been misguided;
To long have I resided
In the mandarin's orchid garden.


And all for friendliness I am,
I do not know which way to talk.
Alone must I keep [praying God]
To beg each lady's pardon.


A lonely buttercup
In the orchid garden.
