original text
You want to get smaller, you get smaller,
You want to get bigger, you get bigger,
Small, small as a handkerchief,
Like a white flower;
Bigger, infinitely larger,
Can cover the whole world.
No one is in the blue sky,
Here's your frame.
You can change it at will,
Deer, elephants, birds and frogs ...
Even if you become a pig,
No one laughed,
Even if you become a bear,
I'm not worried about being scolded.
Nobody wants you to be honest,
Become a "smart" fool.
What are you willing to do,
Do something,
You want to be rain, you can be rain,
Kiss grass and flowers;
You want to be snow, you can be snow,
Like a white butterfly, it flies to thousands of families;
Then, it becomes transparent water vapor,
Fly back to your hometown in the sky.
No one will use a lot of "arrangements" and "plans".
Turn you into a robot doll ...
Ah, let me become a flower, too.
Free and happy clouds!
