If I were lying on the ground, watching the Northern Lights,

 perhaps I might catch its colourful curtains

 to share them around the world.

If I could cross the world towards Africa's landscape

 with my stolen curtains, I'd live always there,

 with these curtains dressed.

If elephants wanted, I'd ask them for help,

 I'd go onto their back, because the dunes are

 so difficult to pass.

If suddenly, like a dream....If they wanted,

 I would give them a piece of rainbow

 from my colourful dress.

If our dream came true, the elephants could show

 two colourful earrings hanging from their ears

 as they go on.
