VIOLET ON THE MOUNTAIN<br />
Eter, with your beauty<br />
Eter, with your beauty<br />
You tell the sun: come down —<br />
I could not slake myself with love,<br />
Chief of the spirits, come up.<br />
Aksha, aksha, rooster, scram!<br />
Aksha, aksha, rooster, scram!<br />
I can’t listen to your crowing;<br />
You have so many lovers,<br />
And I’m being killed by heartbreak.<br />
A rabbit swam into the sea<br />
A rabbit swam into the sea,<br />
A fox follows it on a raft;<br />
Woman, my desire for you<br />
Spins me around like a mill-wheel.<br />
May I die in the mountains<br />
May I die in the mountains,<br />
Be buried in nature’s midst;<br />
May I find out somehow<br />
What thoughts you have on your mind.<br />
I have an eye on you<br />
I have an eye on you<br />
Like a hawk watching a quail.<br />
May I find out somehow<br />
What your heart feels toward me.<br />
Some day, may the dawn find me<br />
With your neck on my arm.<br />
