Oh, honeybee, you take no interest in me
Darting as you do from flower to flower
Not resting during this tentative hour
Side by side, we toil among the plants
But from you, I barely earn a glance.
Oh, honeybee, you take no interest in me
Knowing your sting will hurt me very much
I avoid the possibility of touch
Side by side, we toil among the plants
Meeting in my garden just by chance.
Oh, honeybee, you take no interest in me
Unfazed by the scent of my perfume
Your intent is the nectar of the bloom
Side by side, we toil among the plants
Together, but apart, we share a dance.
