O, my dear Oriole
Who has made you with such elegance
A mélange of many colours
My longing is none but you
Though I waited in the day
The sun brought me no reply
And my gaze was deep at night
Yet, your desire remains with another
Shall I call myself deserted
Like the lone lion in the jungle
Homeless in the land of love and affection
While I continue among the living
I will hope to make a home
On the same tree as my Oriole
