Lemon grass, lemon grass

How I love you!

Whenever I am sick and down

Mother gives me lemon grass

Lemon grass, lemon grass

How I adore you!

You healed me

When I was down with fever

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Wish you were a being

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Always, I know

That you are with me

Lemon grass, lemon grass

You are the best plant

And medicine that I have ever seen

In the whole wide world

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Never will I leave you alone

Lemon grass, lemon grass

When I grow old

I will cherish these lines

Lemon grass, lemon grass

This poem is for you

Lemon grass, lemon grass

I love you dearly

Can’t ever forget you

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Hope you forget me not

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Really love you, my lemon grass

Lemon grass, lemon grass

Forget me not my lemon grass.
