lyrics

Joy

Joy is the colour in may
Nature she knows
When green echoes twittering blue
Of early song birds

Song birds
The early song birds
And turquoise voice of a nurse
Thins the crimson reveries of a baby

And turquoise voice of a nurse
Thins the crimson reveries of a baby
And red and grey is the mutter
Of wives under sheds…

In the evening
Under sheds in the evening

Yellow is the tinkle of meadows skimmed by the sun
A wedding ring to the Earth
But when the spark stolen by the wind of East
From the Sun nest will set on fire
The roof of the hut

Supreme for us will be the torture of Eagle
For all the colours of deceit into white
Will be drowned by the Moon
Too sad is the sight of a withered flower
To be extinguished in a life time
A lark departs from the nest
A brood will starve tonight

Too hard to bear are the wailings of a deer
Swept by the flood
So easy is to chase the golden hare
Sheltering from Moon under dewy woods
Courage is just standing still and stop the run

But Procyon and the hunter
Never quit their foolish pursuit

And yet the nymphs of June
Are offering a new necklace
Made up with colours and deceits
Made up with colours and deceits

My mother land, my mother land, my mother land…
