O how we wait the blooming season of roses.
O how great cheer that we feel as the trees flourish.
Today we enjoy our natural resources
But it seems we do not know that they may vanish.

If earth’s tomorrow exists without trees
And war promises that it will not cease,

You came in the form of a storm.
You washed away those huge houses
And have let mud enter this place.

Oh I want that peace to come how I long.
Oh when shall these stormy days end
Yes, I don’t have a very strong hand
