Lyrics
There’s a wall by a bright sunny stream
Hidden there, just a frail flower I seem
Sun is red: shaded flower fades away
Ne’er a beam cheers my day
Refrain
Love is warm, like the sun’s happiness
I’m a flower, and I crave its caress
Shadowed wall: petals fall, ere I die
Why must love pass me by?
