Small Song
Embracing Life's Small Melodies: A Reflection on Lhasa De Sela's Song
Lyrics
I made a small small song
I created a tiny piece of music
made a small small song
Repeated emphasis on the small size of the song
I sang it all night long
I sang this small song continuously throughout the night
All through
Throughout
The wind and rain
Despite the challenging weather conditions like wind and rain
Until the morning came
Until the morning arrived
This song is my small song
Emphasis that this song is personally significant
This song is my small song
Reiteration that the song is small and personally significant
I sang it all night long
Continuous singing of the small song throughout the night
And when
Transition to the morning
The morning came
When morning arrives
I had to start all over again
The need to restart the song from the beginning
My song is so so small
Emphasizing the diminutive size of the song
My song is so so small
Reiteration of the smallness of the song
I could get down and crawl
Expressing vulnerability, willingness to be humble or subservient
Searching from
Searching extensively
Wall to wall
Across various spaces or situations
And never see
Endless searching without finding anything
Anything at all
Expressing frustration or despair
How could you hate
Questioning why someone would dislike such a small, insignificant song
Such a small song?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing disbelief
How could you hate
Reiterating the incredulity at the dislike for a small song
Such a small song?
If my understanding is correct, I would be mistaken
If I was right
Suggesting acceptance of being wrong
I would be wrong
Encouragement not to fear, as it is just a small song
Don't be afraid
Assurance that the song poses no threat
It's just a small song
Reiteration that it's simply a small song
