Sample text:

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

 

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

Taking a lunch box.

Climbing up the hill

Tell almond flowers,

“Today is my birthday.”

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

 

Full of almond flowers

Under the almond blossom trees with you

Let's eat a homemade almond cake

Today is my birthday

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

Let's go to the almond blossoming hill

 

Full of your hair

Full of spring scent

 

The smell of almond cake

I'm stained in my hand

In me

 

In life

And you smell a flower

You smell many things

You have a big wonder.

 

The almond blossom trees answered.

“You are my flower, and my lover.”
