I have forgotten the lyrics,

But I want to hum the song.

The song so soothing to my ears,

Often my soul rests upon it.

In the dawn or in the dusk,

The melody of the song

Scatters around in my sleep.

It whispers with soft lips.

Now I have forgotten the lyrics,

But I still hum to remember

The song of her.
