She is so beautiful!

She is like a flower.

It is certainly her power.

She is like a lily.

So what that she is silly.

Is her beauty happiness?

No, it’s her emptiness.

If her beauty has no soul

it’s just a dole.

But! A  man’s excitement

comes into his own,

the sweetest dreams

his heart has grown.

Who loves intelligent woman?

Why should he solve this charade?

He’ll better go and watch the beauties parade.

Who loves intelligent woman?

If she would have a little bit less of brain

then she could get a reward

and his love could remain.

And that beautiful doll can only giggle,

she doesn’t hear a fiddle.

It’s hard for her to understand

how a man appeared on this Land.

Yes, a man loves intelligent woman,

but just to be his friend.

It looks as he is afraid

to lose his world of freedom and be band.

So! Is her intelligence happiness?

No! It’s her loneliness.

This woman doesn’t ask God for more.

What for?

She would only like to gather some wisdom

so that sometimes to look like a fool

and play different games without any rule.
