Flowers - Hanggai

Flowers blossoming on the cliff

Are the earliest to fade;

The girl married in a far-off place

Languishes in her lover’s arms

Flowers blossoming in the desert

Are the earliest to fade;

The girl is married now

And by her promise will abide

Once there were oaths to love

Once there were sweet dates

Once there was a warm embrace

But now you are married in a far-off place
