1
Fior di kencùr
s’invoca con gioia
di forme armoniose
si muove ed incanta
che grazia nel dire
rapisce l’anima

2
Fior di blimbìng
gìrati, spòrgiti
splendente coglila
gioiello sul vuoto
corolla regina
essenza di donna

4
Fiore di arèn
reclina sull’alto ramo
sempre scende
al vederti
sui miei versi
un’ombra

9
Fior di pandàn
soffi ce suolo
tu vieni da me
entri
ma scorda il timore
eccoti l’anima
