Alone I sit and ponder the world
As the green leaf flutters
Here I can dwell for long hours
As the gentle spring sings

Under a birch tree, under a birch tree
All of life's troubles and desires become small just like me
Under a green birch tree, a birch tree

No tears and none of life's sorrows
As the green leaf flutters
Only the breeze and golden cities in the clouds
As the gentle spring sings
