Windflowers

Windflowers,windflowers
my father told me not to go
near them
He said he feared them always
and he told me that they
carried him away

Windflowers,beartiful
windflowers
I couldn't wait to touch them
to smell them I held them
closely
And now I cannot break away
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert
So take a warning ,son

Windflowers ,ancient
windflowers
their beauty capture every
young dreamer
who lingers near them
But ancient windflowers,
I love you

风飞花，风飞花，
父亲对我说别走近它
他说他总有些害怕
他说他迷恋过它

风飞花，漂亮的风飞花
我急切地要抚摩它
贴近脸颊闻久嗅
如今我已无法自拔
它的芳香如同水汽
沙漠中蒸发
所以，孩子，听句劝告吧

风飞花，古老的风飞花
漂亮迷惑了每个年轻的梦人
久久的徘徊在它的身旁
而我爱你，
古老的风飞花
