One Short Life

Have you heard
Song of magic mysteries
That wood keeps deep in its heart?
Have you seen
Glowing stars that blessed a bard
To make a pipe
From young willow brunch?

Born in the night I am blind in the light
Alive until the dawn
Rays of the moon, play me cheerful tune
Daybreak will make me fall

Song of love gave me life
So let me be the one to kiss
Your dry lips tonight
Run with me over clouds
Above the sleeping land and sea
Ride the chainless wind

If you’ve got one night only
Then you have to live quickly
It’s not time to waste moments
Don’t say words, hold me tight
Be tender

Born in the night I am blind in the light
Alive until the dawn
Rays of the moon, play me cheerful tune
Daybreak will make me fall

Midnight
Half of life is gone
Save me
From the rising sun

Dance with me
In the glade
Where fairies meet to drink sweet wine
On the moonlit grass
Never stop
Playing melodies
Or I will run away
On the darkest path

Born in the night I am blind in the light
Alive until the dawn
Rays of the moon, play me cheerful tune
I fall

Morning
Life is almost gone
Save me
From the rising sun

Morning
Life is almost gone
Save me
From the rising sun
