I want to be a tree. I will be a tree? If you are a flower, I will be a tree; If you are a dewdrop, I will be a flower? Me? If you were sunshine, I would be dew, just to be with you. My lovely girl, if you are heaven, I will be a star high above; Dear, if you are the fire of hell, let's unite, damn it, I will die. I want to be a tree. If you were a flower on the tree, I would like to be a flower. If you are dew? I would like to be a dewdrop. If you are sunshine, everything is for being with you. My lovely girl, if you are heaven, I would like to be a star hanging high; My love, if you are the fire of hell, as long as we can be together, I am willing to be cursed and die. Freedom and love freedom and love freedom, love! I need two. For my love, I will live safely, for freedom, I will love safely. Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If you are free, you can throw both.
