Translation:

If I were a desert flower All winter long I'd pain and cower Spring would make me sing, My voice would ring As tiny buds begin to bloom In spring I'd blossom and forget the winter's gloom.   If I were a brook of water Kissed by the frost along my borders Spring would make me sing, my voice would ring As I'd release my icy chains In spring I'd bubble and forget the winter's rains.   But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man...   Don't look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It's the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.   If I were a joyful songbird All winter long, so cold and somber Spring would make me sing My voice would ring like tiny bells on scarves Of silk A song as beautiful and pure as mother's milk.   But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man...   Don't look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It's the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.   Don't be surprised By this look in my eyes Like a flower or tree I will bloom in the spring I will shed all my woes As the green grass grows Like a flower or tree I will throw my head back and sing!
