Bilingual
When you were only five
You caught a butterfly
You held it for a while
It made you smile
You caught a butterfly
Finally it flew away
You cried and cried that day
To see it fly so high
An eagle came and caught the butterfly
So don't fly too high
In the sky, butterfly
If you fly very high in the sky
You'll find the sun may burn your wings
And each song you hear
Let it go in and out your ear
Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs
The night birds sing
Your daddy loves you best
Much more than all the rest
I've watched you grow to be
A lady fair
You've been my butterfly
Learn to fly, butterfly
Before you fly too high
An eagle waits for you
Watch what you do
Be careful, butterfly
And don't fly too high
In the sky, butterfly
If you fly very high in the sky
You'll find the sun may burn your wings
And each song you hear
Let it go in and out your ear
Don't be fooled by the beautiful songs
The night birds sing
