Little brown sparrow,
 
if I could speak your language,
 
we’d chat heart to heart.

 
 
 

Often I have thought
 
that I should learn the language
 
of cherry blossoms.

 
 
 

Yellow butterfly,
 
if I could speak your language,
 
we’d have a great talk.

Smile

 
 
 

In a great city
 
where no one speaks my language,
 
a child smiles at me.

Stars

 
 
 

What do the stars say?
 
I do not speak their language,
 
it is strange to me.
