Boys are stingy
With their tears and hide them
Like rare pearls
Why are they so calculating?
Girls are more generous
Girls don't consider the expense
And their tears are more precious
That you think
Only girls cry
And anyway, all girls cry
Even the strongest
Only girls cry
They make it a point of honour
To pay in tears
For boys to spill
A single tear, talking of rivers
You have to pierce them
Twenty-six holes in their heart of stone
Girls are less thrifty
Girls make sumptuous melodies for us
A minimum of a hundred thousand tears
From the most beautiful water
Only girls cry
And anyway, all girls cry
Even the strongest
Only girls cry
They make it a point of honour
To pay in tears
