Oh Butterflies! show me the way, to the green meadows where I can rest; Lie down and look the clouds, And hear the birds chirping from their nest. Oh Butterflies! take me to the shore, Where I can leave my footprints in the sand for few seconds; And play with the water as the waves roar, Where I can forget what it feels to be tense. Oh Butterflies! guide me to a forest Where I am enveloped in greenery; Where I can smell the wet soil during the rains, And the aroma of flowers while I chew a berry. Oh Butterflies! You are so lucky, To fly around and do the dance of freedom; Blessed are the flowers you visit, While we struggle in this materialistic kingdom.
