cherry tree (English and Japanese)
-Good morning sir!
To the man
who blocked her way
a little child said.
-Good morning
and good day
to you my girl!
May I ask some questions
dear?
-Dont know sir..Yes..Words..
I do not fear
-Are you alone?
-Maybe, don't know..
you may say so, sir
my parents gone
to clouds for so long..
-Where do you live?
-The forest is the place
I sleep..
-Aren't you scared to live alone?
Pardon me sir! I'm not living alone! ? !
That tree it is my sweetest company
And that other One, it feeds me
like a parent
no, I can not be lonely,
they also aren't..
Do you want something
or someone 'important'
to become?
one wish to tell me, do
so glad I'll be to make it happen,
promise you!
Oh sir, if that is really really true,
then please, please do!
Make me to be a cherry tree
and sir, forgive me please:
may you put me and my family
to land whose people care and
loves their most
for us, the cherry trees? !
That is to be Japan and Japanese,
you see? ..
