A young man fell in love with truth In searching th wide world for her He found her in the small house In the clearing In the forest She was old and she was stooped He pledged himself to her To chop the wood and carry the water Years went by until one day The young man woke up longing, for a child He went to the old women And he asked to be released from his oath to her That he might return, to the world Certainly she said On one condition You must tell them that I am young beautiful You must tell them that I am young beautiful
