One of the Burrows (4 songs)
Text/Yafeng
(1) Windows
I stood in front of the window and looked out
I can't hear people cheering and horses calling machines to roar
Only to see the traffic busy
I stood in front of the window and looked out
You can't hear the beautiful singing of the birds
Only to see a flock of birds spread their wings and fly
I stood in front of the window and looked out
I can't smell the flowers and plants
Only to see the red flowers blooming
I stood in front of the window and looked out
You can't smell the fishy smell of the sea or hear the sound of the waves
Only to see the layers of waves flickering silver light
I stood in front of the window and looked out
I can't hear what stories they're telling
Only to see a few elderly people basking comfortably in the sun
I stood in front of the window and looked out
I couldn't hear the little girl's laughter
Only to see her chasing after the puppy
Windows ah windows
You can cut off the sound
It can also block the taste
But you can't block the color from the light
Who can stop the light
(ii) Roses
A bouquet of roses
It blooms in a vase
Colorful
Aromas pervade the hall
One day she withered
I saw her
Still in brilliant colours
It has a faint afterscent
(3) Grass
Your petite body
Extremely vigorous
Frost, rain and snow devastated
Embrace spring and grow again
Silent life
It contains tremendous energy
There is a place for you
The earth is dressed in green
(4) February Orchid
No fragrant aroma
There are no tall branches
You are the messenger of spring
Spring is the first to be revealed
Spring breeze rises
You use a lilac carpet
Inlay the earth
