Who could sing happy songs…
Children at play
future their hopes
merely moments
all illusions
Who could sing happy songs…
Cooks can create
wonderful dishes
never to taste
bitter poison
Who could sing happy songs…
Bride of time past
beautiful spring
keeps on crying
lonely widow
Who could sing happy songs…
The seasons changing
always moving
peace prosperity
a question mark

I would like to translate this poem
I like the refrain. Somehow it sticks in the mind. It's a different way of writing, very creative.
