You’re a maiden, sheltered inside the house.

I’m like the cloud wandering the four skies.

With the wind, I float far and high

While you’re lying in the laps of luxury.

You’ll always be just a maiden.

A gentle maiden, melancholic and dreamy for all eternity.

Your love’s like the snow on the mountaintop

Forever glistening its wondrous beauty.

Why’re you such a beautiful maiden

To make my life full of sorrow.

Why do you sit by the windowsill

To  tangle a poet’s heartstrings.

Why’re you such a beautiful maiden

To cause tears on a spring night to fall,

To invoke love in my heart

And appear in my dreams.

You’ll always be just a maiden.

A gentle maiden, melancholic and dreamy for all eternity.

Your love’s like the snow on the mountaintop

Forever glistening its wondrous beauty.
