Listen to the dove, Child, who cries but does and does not sing
He yearns to be loved, Child, and be free to spread his wings
Love is a curious thing, Child, you will learn this as i sing
Watch the motherless pup, Child, who mourns and does not play
She just wants to be brought up, Child, by a mother there to stay
You probably presume now, Child, Love can only take away
But listen well, child, i have happier stories to tell
Smile at the frolicking Colts, Child, Their love just begun
Their one wish , Child, Is to forever be loved by the other one
Gaze at the beautiful swans, Child, Their love being Renewed
They dance beneath the stars, Child, their love will remain true
So remember this, Child, when you are yearning or mourning
Remember the Colts and swans, child, the reason for my singing
Love is a curious thing, child, what it can take away, it will also bring.
