Come under my leaves and let me shade you
Plant yourself next to my heart
For like the sun I cannot touch you
I would burn while giving you life

And when I called out your name
There was no one who really heard me
And I waited but you never came
In my tears I nearly drowned

You can take a leaf and put in your hair
Any garlands that I could give you,
And any fruits for you I bear.
If only I could speak and tell you

I grow from tears that I shed,
Even if you think I am dead.
