Lilies In the Field

See those lilies in the field,
how they dance and sing with the wind!
See them reach towards the sun,
filling the ground with colors.

The bees they buzz, the birds they sing,
the wind blows high and the stream swiftly flows.

I have come to pick a lily 
and put it in your hair.
You're as beautiful as a flower, my love,
and you're just as sweet.

How would you feel, my love,
when the bee comes to sip the flower?
Isn't that so natural, so lovely,
as if the world is just for you and me.
