lyrics
Song to the Earth
Words by Andonis Violaris
Music by Adam Violaris
There’s a song for everything
Music is a mystery
Words add to the chemistry
Sagas told in every key
There’s a song in everything
Humming of a bumblebee
Lapping of the Coral Sea
Music is a mystery
There are songs in our hearts to be sung
There are stories in rhyme to be told
Log drum and the whistle
And sangpipe and the blaedhorn
And sarga and the bodhran
The handbell and the harp
Take up all your places
And join in for the dancing
Sing along in harmony
So heroes can live again
(In English & Anglo-Saxon):
Play gently now, sweet harp
(Mende lae dan midsingend
Gete on citera sang
Gamenwudu hearpian
Hearpung gantan sealmian) - (Repeat)
Play softly now, beating drum
(Sanger ongalanes dre
Singan galan salletan)
There are songs in our hearts to be sung
There are stories in rhyme to be told
Log drum and the whistle
And sangpipe and the blaedhorn
And sarga and the bodhran
The handbell and the harp
Lift up all your voices
And join in with the singing
Accompany timely
So heroes can live again
Look to the east with your eyes
Lift your arms to the bright sky and pray
Great Erce giver of life
Bless this bountiful earth that you give us
Log drum and the whistle
And sangpipe and the blaedhorn
And sarga and the bodhran
The handbell and the harp
Lift up all your voices
And join in with my singing
Accompany timely
So heroes can live again
(Repeat in Anglo-Saxon):
Timpana hwistlere pip dre amahn timpestreha
Hwistlung hrei odpe cimbagli were herpe
Efenhlei odhrang myrge swinsian retorhte
Samodge-iddung wer hildewulf eftboren

The songs of this album create an ancient, otherworldly ambiance and touch my heart with their rapturous melodies. The lovely voice of Lady Erutan is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.
