The Fireflies

That night we went to the Selangor River We saw a lot of fireflies on the bushes Amidst the far stretched deep darkness Like the many bulbs on the Christmas trees While one or two rested on the water Drifting along happily with the river One flew into our boat Making us stayed starkly silent As silent as the darkness around Suddenly, above our heads Into the sky We saw a lot of stars shining Oh, the fireflies Have flown silently into the sky Decorating for us that beautiful night
