Oh little butterfly, what a beautiful sight of you
Flying so high and circling around the trees
Your wings are so beautiful with sparkling colours
My eyes are dazzling when I look at you
When you are a caterpillar, curled up on a leaf
When you begin to fly then you are a beautiful butterfly
When the spring comes you make everyone happy
but during the winter you hide and make us sad
When you are dancing through the sky
feeling those stars are so close to our eyes
You cannot make any sound but you see the world clearly
So many stories are made for you
and our children are so crazy on you
Hope they will not catch you and keep you with them
and allow you to live freely in this world forever.
