We messed up earth, your hands are clean kid…
Come on, let write a petition to heavens.
Let flowers pour down from the clouds onto the streets,
You can name things after flowers…
Become a color in my palette.
Let us draw happiness.
Let us dye all the colors of the rainbow
Don’t look reproachful, please.
Your hands are clean, kid…
Let us draw a kid in the middle of the canvas,
Let someone come and kiss the kid
On the somber dimples,
Put out a hand, don’t be scared,
Open your palm, let us fly pigeons.
Smile at heavens, kid…
Tear apart the paintings I made, if you want.
Let joy kiss your somber cheeks…
Smile in your eyes…
Your hands are clean, don’t cry, kid…
Draw happiness! Come on.
Your hands are clean.
We messed up earth
Do not cry, kid!
