Curiosity
English source:
Jeremy Sams
I wouldn't ask the rainbow
I wouldn't ask a star
I'm certain that neither could tell me
The way things truly are

A star's too far above
So trusty mill stream, tell me
If she returns my love
My dear, my sweet companion
You're strangely quiet today
I know you know the answer
Are you afraid to say?

'No'. That may be the answer
It's either that or 'yes'
So come what may, one word will define my happiness
Yes come what may, one word will define my happiness
My dear, my sweet companion
How churlish you can be
I know you know the answer
Is she in love with me?
Is she in love with me?
