Lyrics
See how thoughtfully he watches
Observing attentively, he watches
Birds and wild bees are his friends
Connects with birds and wild bees as companions
Soothes them with his gentle manner
Calms them with his gentle demeanor
All day long, his child he tends
All day, he cares for his child
From the dark, a light emerges
A source of light emerges from the darkness
Bright as day across the hill
It illuminates the hill, bright as day
See the young man standing silent
A young man stands silently
Soon his child goes quiet and still
His child becomes quiet and still
Raise our voices, sing together
Encouraging unity, urging collective singing
Our world is yours and mine
Expressing shared ownership of the world
Raise our voices, sing together
Reiteration of the call to sing together
For everyone
For the benefit of everyone
For everyone
Emphasizing inclusivity and universality
Splendid trees merge into shadows
Magnificent trees blend into shadows
Strangely dark the hillside grows
The hillside takes on a mysterious darkness
See how quickly night approaches
Noting the swift arrival of night
Deep and black, the river flows
The river flows deep and black
See the young man's head is turning
The young man's attention shifts
Hand reach out towards his face
Hands move towards his face
Constant murmur of the day
A constant murmur of the day surrounds
Freedom in a kind of place
A sense of freedom in a particular place
Raise our voices, sing together
Repetition of the call to sing collectively
Our world is yours and mine
Reaffirming the shared ownership of the world
Raise our voices, sing together
Continued emphasis on singing together
For everyone
For the well-being of everyone
Raise our voices, sing together
Repeating the call for collective singing
Our world is yours and mine
Reiterating the shared ownership of the world
Raise our voices, sing together
Continued encouragement to sing together
For everyone
For the benefit of everyone
For everyone
Underscoring inclusivity and universality
