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