I am singing a song today
I sing a song todayFor the coolness of the North SeaThe rustling of the reedsAnd the voices in the south windThe breath of the forestAnd the wild white rosesThe summer and the saltAnd the newborn child
I sing a song todayFor the shadow of the treesThe animals you seeAnd the animals that are invisibleThe silence of the snowAnd the clouds of NovemberThe swallow and the seagullAnd the depths of the rhine
I want to singFor all that the earth givesSing every dayFor all that lives
I sing a song todayFor the moonlight and rainThe devil aheadAnd the water of the spring
I sing a song todayFor the dew and for the twilightI sing a song todayFor the sunlight and the cornflowerThe footstep in the sandAnd the scents of springThe apple in my handAll the beautiful things I call
I want to singFor all that the earth givesSing every dayFor all that lives
I sing a song todayFor the coolness of the North SeaThe rustling of the reedsAnd the voices in the wind
The breath of the forestAnd the wild white rosesThe summer and the saltAnd the newborn child
