I Become Happy
When you come from a distant place
And rest your feet in my backyard,
I become happy.
When you sail your remembrance
On the edge of your body and set a pair of pigeons free,
I become happy.
When you melt yourself into a glass of water
At the moment of quenching my thirst
And stare at me with passion,
I become happy.
When you make your face like a blooming rose
And bring the dawn to my sight,
I become happy.
When you take a nap in the afternoon
Holding your hands crossed on your butterfly chest
And let your misfortunes fade away from us,
I become happy.
When you place your roses between my lips
And call me with love,
I become happy.
When you come to me toppling the obstacles
And hold my flag up in the air,
I become happy.
