The Rooster's Crow
Ephemeral Dance of Love: The Rooster's Midnight Serenade
Lyrics
Will you have this dance with me?
Expressing an invitation to dance.
Like we do once a year
Reflecting on an annual tradition of dancing together.
You smell like bygone times
Noting a nostalgic scent reminiscent of the past.
Oh, how I've missed you, my dear
Expressing deep longing for the person addressed.
Let's dance and pretend we don't know
Suggesting a desire to dance and ignore impending realities.
What must happen when we hear the rooster crow
Acknowledging the inevitability of a significant event signaled by the rooster's crow.
Let's move to the song of the nightbird
Proposing to move in harmony with the nightbird's song.
Like we do once a year
Reiterating the annual nature of their shared dance tradition.
You smell like roses and dirt
Describing a pleasant scent combining roses and dirt.
Oh, how I'll miss you, my dear
Expressing anticipation of missing the addressed person.
But now you must go
Indicating a parting moment due to the rooster's crow.
For we've just heard the rooster crow
Confirming the impact of the rooster's crow on their separation.
Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever
Expressing a desire for the night to linger indefinitely.
And ever and ever and ever
Emphasizing the enduring wish for an eternal night.
I thank you for having this dance with me
Gratitude for the shared dance experience.
I'll be here next year
Commitment to continue the tradition in the following year.
To sniff you up and breathe you in
Expressing affection through the act of smelling and breathing in the person's presence.
Oh, I already miss you, my dear
Anticipating the feeling of missing the person in the future.
But now I must go
Repeating the necessity to part ways due to the rooster's crow.
I'm walking away to the sound of the rooster's crow
Walking away in response to the sound of the rooster's crow.
Oh, how I wish that this night would last forever
Reiterating the desire for the night to last indefinitely.
And ever and ever and ever
Emphasizing the enduring wish for an eternal night (repeated).
