A flower is blooming,

Slowly, slowly,

Quietly, quietly,

Be patient, be still,

So as not to disturb it,

So as not to break

The peace it brings.

The petals are showing,

Softly, softly,

Faintly, faintly,

Be calm, be gentle,

So as to let it grow,

So as to not interrupt

The life it carries.

The feet are pounding,

Loudly, loudly,

Violently, violently,

Stay still, stop there!

So that it may survive,

So that it may return

With its peace once more.

The blossom is trampled,

Gloomily, gloomily,

Dying, dying,

Leave now, go away,

So that you won't hurt it,

So that your carelessness

Will do no more harm.
