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
