I Love That Bug

In Deutschland they're called Schmetterling Mariposa down in Spain, And although they're called, by different names They're really quiet the same Borboleta sounds like fun to say and Farfalla twist my tongue But when they're seen in France They're simply Papillon But in the Scottish hills Where they migrate with desire They call them Dalán-dé When trans-lated mean "Gods Fire" No matter what you call them When their beauty meets my eye I have to take a moment To enjoy the Butterfly
