5. The Garden of Bamboos  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
I live all alone, and I am a young girl.
I write long letters and I do not know anyone to send them to.
Most tender things speak in my heart
And I can only say them to the bamboos in the garden.
Waiting on my feet, lifting the mat a little behind the door,
All day I watch the shadows of the people that pass.
