Should all the flowers
by the side of the roads
wither tomorrow,
I would keep in my heart
the one who
bloomed1 in your eyes
when I loved you so,
in the wonderland
of our sweet sixteen2.
Little flower of love,
you will always bloom
for me.
When life
betrays me now and then
you remain my joy,
little flower.
After twenty years
I ponder for a while
and breathe in
this scent I loved so.
Within my heart
you will always bloom
in the great garden of love,
little flower...
(break)
Within my heart
you will always bloom
in the great garden of love,
little flower...
