At morning, at dawn,
On dewy grass,
I will go to breathe in the fresh morning.
In the fragrant shade,
where lilacs cluster,
I will go to seek my happiness.
In life, only happiness
am I fated to find.
And that happiness grows in lilacs.
On green branches,
In fragrant clusters,
My small happiness blooms.
