Oh my nightingale bird
From what of history
Will such words
Grace my thoughts and tongue
You are after all the little chirping bird
Who inspired this melodious melody
At night, At full moon
Of those who embraced and made
Their promises of love through these
Hopeful romantic nights
And of course those alone
Wishing only by dreaming
Herself embraced in his arms
A stolen kiss gladly given
She came to make a wrong
In his pierced heart, a right
Forever it is rewritten and it remains
