Nature

Nature, nature, nature!
Nature is a beauty,
Our blood is nature,
Our spirit is nature.
Birds are flying,
Stars are twinkling,
Flowers are blooming,

They are nature's magic.
Earth's spirit is nature,
Nature is ever green,
Then we can,
Save our mother nature!

The moon

She was a phantom of delight,
Gleaming her bright light.
Her children around her
glittering...
Wear off bitter thoughts.
Took me away from pain,
And the wanting to gain,
Alone the phantom stood bright...
Seeking for people who will need her light.

Brighter and brighter she stood,
Though she felt how sad I was.
My heart in pain beat faster...
... with her bright light.

She blessed me that night.
.... silent and bright.

I love summer

I love summer, I love summer,
Summer is the best season,
I can see the bright sun shining,
Like a sparkling gem,
I can smell the fresh flowers,

From the beautiful trees,
I can hear the birds tweeting,
All around,

I can taste the cold ice cream,
Freezing in my mouth, and
I can feel the summer breeze,
All over me, I love summer.
