Lyrics
I'm circling around you
I am moving in a circular path around you.
We're headed for the starlight in the meantime
We are heading towards the starlight in the meantime.
I love your spiral hair
I admire your spiral hair.
That you remove and lay it there around me
You remove your spiral hair and place it around me.
Sometimes the starlight
At times, the starlight is present.
Sometimes the starlight disappears
However, sometimes the starlight disappears.
When we go across the river don't stare
During our journey across the river, don't gaze at the other side.
At the other side
Avoid looking at what's on the other side.
I know you wanted to
I understand that you desired to look.
Don't cover your eyes when it draws you down
When it draws you down, don't cover your eyes.
Softly it crawls back underneath your crown
Softly, it retreats beneath your crown.
Oh no he's coming
Someone is approaching.
Oh no he's coming to take you
There is concern that this person is coming to take you away.
To gather up his favorite
He is collecting his favorite.
He's gathering his favorite milkmaid
Specifically, he is gathering his favorite milkmaid.
Don't let him take you
There is a plea not to allow him to take you.
Don't let him take you with him
A repetition of the plea not to let him take you with him.
Back when you were younger you made a sound
When you were younger, you produced a sound.
It was a lovely sound
This sound was lovely.
Oh what a lovely sound
Emphasizing how beautiful the sound was.
Don't cover your eyes when it draws you down
When it draws you down, don't cover your eyes again.
Softly it crawls back underneath your crown
Similar to line 12, softly it retreats beneath your crown.
