It would have been nice being by a sea side,
Competing with seagulls,
Smelling the seaweeds,
And collecting the mussel shells…
Waiving at the ships passing from a distance,
Then lying down on the sand,
It would have been nice to sing a folk song,
About loving,
And longing…
It would have been nice standing up again,
Clinging to a hope again,
And loving again,
In a June morning,
Like the fish loving the sea,
It would have been nice keeping in your heart all the time…
Before the sun rise,
Before the butterflies awakening,
In a June morning,
It would have been nice to say good morning to LOVE,
Like coming to life again,
Like unpolluted sea,
It would have been nice to love again…
