Sarah Brightman - In the Mandarin's Orchid Garden lyrics

Somehow by fate misguided,

A buttercup resided

In the mandarin's orchid garden.

A buttercup that did not please

The lovely peace of such a place.

And so it simply [shined] above

And begged each orchids pardon,

The little buttercup in the orchid garden.

The bees keep passing daily

And kiss the orchids dearly,

In the mandarin's orchid garden.

A buttercup [side] longing leaf,

But love was not for such as she.

And so under the tree of love hanged I

Still begging pardon,

The lonely buttercup in the orchid garden.

I too have been misguided;

To long have I resided

In the mandarin's orchid garden.

And all for friendliness I am,

I do not know which way to talk.

Alone must I keep [praying God]

To beg each lady's pardon.

A lonely buttercup

In the orchid garden.
