<p style="text-align:center;">Translated…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I’d often wondered</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>How to make myself bump into you</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>When I’m at my most beautiful</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I’d found, a secretive place</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Groomed my violet-blue feathers on my body</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>As well as my black-and-white tail feathers too</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Polished my grayish green shoes to a shine</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I’d selected a perfect time</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>With the fog, filling up the air</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Mixed in, with those unfallen drops of rain</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Softened, all those, sharpened edges</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The sun, seeped through</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>the layered clouds gentle</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Peaceful, Quiet, Gentle</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Oh, how I wish, you can, see me now</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This, is on an endangered species, how it longed, to come out into the openness, without fears of getting hunted and killed for its feathers, and, this raise an alarm, that we need to, take care of the environment, and STOP abusing the resources, as well as the gifts given to us by nature…</p>
