Hungry Little Lovebird
I asked her "Why do you send out Your voice in sad song Each morning Like a hungry Java Sparrow Singing sadly in an empty rice field"
And she said unto me "Sad is the song Of that hungry little ricebird Because it has No grains of rice to eat And likewise, sad is my song Because I am a hungry little lovebird Who has no grains Of manly love to eat"
So in her backyard, I planted Some cereal grass, that produces The edible seed called rice And now that Java Sparrow Only sings happy songs Because it hungers no more
But I told her, "I cannot feed The little lovebird in you For the women in my pass Were like vultures And have eaten up All my grains of love"
So in my life, she planted Some warm affection And romantic tenderness That produced a fertile field With countless grains Of manly love For her eating pleasure
So now she is My little lovebird And happy are the songs She sings for me |
