Bamboo Moon

Once upon a time there was an old man
Gathering firewood in the mountains, he ran
Stumbled upon a bamboo, shining in the woods
Split it open, a beauty stood
Pale as moonlight
Pale as moonlight

Guys who like smoke sway
Forget about that day you longed for the moon

I wish I could be free, but it's just a dream
Floating like a paper balloon, not in a cage, it seems

Hairpin falls, spinning round like a windmill
Want to get wet in the morning dew, touch the other side of the sky

I yearn to go back to the moon
Wanted a place to stay, but I think I like it here too
When men desire me, I feel so happy

If you want to lick my wounds, it's okay to forgive
I don't have what you want, just let me live
