Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evening birds are calling

Summer’s thunder time of year

The sound of music in my ears

Distant bells new mown grass smells so sweet

By the river holding hands

Roll me up and lay me down

And if you see don't make a sound

Pick your feet up off the ground

And if you hear as the warm night falls

The silver sound from a tongue so strange

Sing to me sing to me…

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evening birds are calling

Children's laughter in my ears

The last sunlight disappears

And if you see don't make a sound

Pick your feet up off the ground

And if you hear as the warm night falls

The silver sound from a tongue so strange

Sing to me sing to me…
