Book on his far away table

Looking meticulously did not meet

I work a full day

For the baby and yourself

In the dark drinking herbal medicine

Lightning and lightning strike the spikes

Tonight I'm yours

Until the end of you in my hug

Bricks as its ingredients

Build the house to order

The treasure and the throne have mine

Only you are the only woman I love

We sail across the continent

Go reach for ideals

Together we will age

Until death breaks us

Where the leech comes from

From the fields to the times

Where love comes from

From the eyes down to the heart

Road to market week

About to buy a red shirt

I know women are embarrassed

Because of the blushing cheeks

Went to school with a notebook

Write the story above the book

I am glad to see your sweet smile

Will you be my lover
