Today Is So Lovely a Day

Today is so lovely a day.

Flowers’ beams are as brilliant as her face.

Willows in the water are as soft as her waist.

And the sunshine, would you please never go away?

At seeing you, my heart’s beating fast.

Hearing your words, I’m acting as I was mad.

Being with you, I forget the time passed.

Even in silence, your mind I can understand.

Are the birds singing for your vigor?

You never seem to be in anger.

With charm you do everything at leisure.

How come you’re slipping away?

I beg God to let you stay.

Your face in my mind will never fade away.
