Loreena Mckennitt - The Mummer's Dance


When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon

In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night

And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves

And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood

That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night

And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced

Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

"A garland gay we bring you here

And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night

And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Pink Floyd - Echoes



Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's.
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light.

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.

And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive.
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun....

Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son



Carry On My Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Once I Rose Above The Noise And Confusion
Just To Get A Glimpse Beyond This Illusion
I Was Soaring Ever Higher
But I Flew Too High

Though My Eyes Could See I Still Was A Blind Man
Though My Mind Could Think I Still Was A Mad Man
I Hear The Voices When I'm Dreaming
I Can Hear Them Say

Carry On My Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Masquerading As A Man With A Reason
My Charade Is The Event Of The Season
And If I Claim To Be A Wise Man
It Surely Means That I Don't Know

On A Stormy Sea Of Moving Emotion
Tossed About I'm Like Ship On The Ocean
I Set A Course For Winds Of Fortune
But I Hear The Voices Say

Carry On My Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More


[Carry On]
You Will Always Remember
[Carry On]
Nothing Equals The Splendor
Now Your Life's No Longer Empty
Surely Heaven Waits For You

Carry On My Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry
Don't You Cry No More

Kourosh Yaghmaei - Gole Yakh


Ghana miyoone do ta chashmoone
ghashanget, loone kardeh
Shab too moohaye siyahet,
khoone kardeh

Do ta chasmooneh siyahet,
mesle shabhaye mane
Siyahiaye do cheshmet,
mesle ghamhaye mane

vaghti boghz az mojeham
payin miyad, baroon mishe
sayle ghamha abadimo
viroone karde
vaghti ba man mimooni
tanhayimo, bad mibare
do ta cheshmam baroone,
shaboone karde

bahar az dastaye man
par zado raft
gole yakh tooye delam
javooneh karde
Too otagham daram az
tanhayi atish migiram
ey shokoofeh tooye
in zamooneh karde

chi bekhoonam, javoonim raft

ke sedam rafteh dige
gole yakh tooye delam
javooneh kardeh (2x)

bahar az dastaye man

par zado raft
gole yakh tooye delam
javooneh karde
Too otagham daram az
tanhayi atish migiram
ey shokoofeh tooye
in zamooneh karde

chi bekhoonam, javoonim raft

ke sedam rafteh dige
gole yakh tooye delam
javooneh kardeh


(Translation)

the sadness has made a nest in your beautiful eyes
the night,has made a home in your black hair
Your two black eyes,are like my nights
The blackness of your eyes is like my sorrow
when the spite comes down of my eyelashes,it becomes a rain

the sorrow like a flood has ruined my improvments
when you're staying with me
the wind is taking my loneliness
my two teary eyes,has rained in the night
the spring few out of my hands

Oh! the one that has blossomed in this time or age
what can i sing ?
my youth has gone

that my voice has already gone
the ice flower has made youth in my heart

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues



This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers

Thats all in the past
You call me a fool
You say its a crazy scheme
This ones for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
Ill make it this time
Im ready to cross that fine line

Chorus:
Ill learn to work the saxophone
Ill play just what I feel
Drink scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call alabama the crimson tide
Call me deacon blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
Ill rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
Ill make it my home sweet home

Repeat Chorus

This is the night
Of the expanding the man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
Ill be what I want to be

Repeat Chorus
