The gullible, endearing child of yore is back

In my casual conversations and actions

Nonchalant about propriety and people’s reactions,

The gullible, endearing child of yore is back.

In my casual conversations and actions

I act not like a new bride, careful and fair

I fulfill a long-time wish to fly my kite in free air

In my casual conversations and actions.

I act not like a new bride, careful and fair

Nor fear, for the birds in my nest have long flown,

My heart beats free and wild, for myself alone

I act not like a new bride, careful and fair.

Nor fear, for the birds in my nest have long flown

The gullible, endearing child of yore is back

My room fills with light coming through a little crack

Nor fear, for the birds in my nest have long flown.

The gullible, endearing child of yore is back

In my casual conversations and actions

Nonchalant about propriety and people’s reactions,

The gullible, endearing child of yore is back.
