How I met This Lady
There lives one lady, whom I had never seen,
In the second floor, where I had never been
And every morning and every evening,
I heard her beautiful voice sing.
I had always wanted to meet her, but I felt rather shy,
And all my plans to meet her, ended up in a sigh.
I wished I could hear her all day and everyday,
And days and months rolled away till it finally turned to be May.
I couldn’t wait any longer,
All I wanted was to meet her
So I climbed to the second floor, where I had never been,
Wishing to see the lady, whom I had never seen.
There I saw this woman deaf and blind,
Singing aloud those words that came out from her heart and mind
She is the lady, the lady who sings,
And that’s how I met this lady with whom I exchanged rings.
