Where has my childhood gone?
Has it hidden its face among stars?
Is it lost in forests?
Is it stolen by thieves?
Is it conquered by enemies?
Is it imprisoned in a cell?
Is it wandering here and there?
Is it found in children’s faces?
Is it in the bottoms of deep oceans?
Is it on the top of the mountains?
Is it found in a dream?
Is it in a fairyland?
Where has my childhood gone?
Please tell me who snatched my childhood from me.
I want to play in the grassland,
I want to catch fish in a small stream,
I want to steal almonds,
Where has my childhood gone?
I want to be innocent,
I want to be original.
Please take me back.
Take my belongings;
But give me back my childhood.
