From tomorrow, be a happy person
Sleep with a beautiful dream and wake up with a smile
From tomorrow, care for food and vegetables
A few families, three meals a day, tasty
From tomorrow onwards, away from the concrete and steel traffic
Give a warm name to each river and each mountain
I have a house
In some unknown small mountain village
I will tell each and every one of them
Tell them about my happiness
I only wish
Only the wind and moon pass by the door, and the spring water tinkles through the seasons
