Navaie
Refrain: Navaie, Navaie, Navaie, Navaie, Youth is fleeting, so appreciate it before it has passed!
Longing nests hidden at the bottom of my sorrowful heart with the same beauty and grace as Leili sitting perched upon the saddle.
Don't let my heart suffer because my heart is like a wild bird which, if it flies away, may not easily return.
I cherish the wonderful land of love, where a beggar and a king can sit face-to-face as equals.
Harold Arlen (1905–1986)
arr. Teena Chinn
John Lennon (1940–1980)
Paul McCartney (b. 1942)
Improvised Arrangement
I will follow your caravan shedding such heavy tears that the desert would become muddy and cause your caravan to stop.
Follow the caravan and tred lightly lest dust rises up and falls upon it.
Jag
Text by Edity Södergran (1892-1923)
I am a stranger in this land which lies deep under the pressing sea, the sun peeks in with wandering rays and the air flows between my hands.
They tell me that I was born in captivitythere are no faces here that I would know. Was I a stone, the one thrown here to the bottom? Was I a fruit that was too heavy for its branch? Here I wait at the foot of the rustling tree, how will I climb up the slippery trunks?
Up there I'll find the ragged crown, up there I want to sit and look out over the smoke of my homeland's chimneys…
Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen?
Job 3:20–23
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
