Testo The Song of Eternal Numbers - Angelo Branduardi
Testo della canzone The Song of Eternal Numbers (Angelo Branduardi), tratta dall'album Highdown Fair
Come here my angel and sit on my knee
And tell me what song you would hear from me
Sing me the song of eternal numbers
And from this day I shall well remember
One is for the reaper
Waiting for his harvest of life
Two is for the oxen straining at the cart
Three is for the world and its every part
Four, there are the standing stones of Merlin
Where the heroes' swords were ever sharpened
One is for the reaper
Waiting for his harvest of life
And the sum of the golden times
In all the ages of man is five
Sang the dwarf in a cloud of steam
Threw six shards in the draught which he stirred and he laughed
He went ha ha ha ha ha ha
And there are seven suns and there are seven moons
Eight, the blazing fires by the first of June
Nine is for the maidens dancing by the fountain
Worshipping the moon rising on the mountain
One is for the reaper
Waiting for his harvest of life
Ten is for the galleons coming from the war
Which our young men fought on the distant shore
And walking with their flag we counted eleven
For the dying men of a hundred young men
One is for the reaper
Waiting for his harvest of life
And the sum of the golden times
In all the ages of man is five
And the months of the year are twelve
Made of days, made of hours and minutes that pass
And they pass, and they pass, they pass
Now twelve is for the signs in the star bright sky
In envy of his favoured champion gent if I
I sing you the song of eternal numbers
But I see a time when all is ended
One is for the reaper
Waiting for his harvest of life
There will come a day when the trumpet splits the sky
And thunder fire wave within wisdom flowing high
That will be the time in the song of numbers
When the reaper tires at last of waiting
One is for the reaper
And two the oxen
And three the farts
And four is for the stones
Five is for the ages
Six is for the herbs
And seven are the suns
And seven are the moons
Eight is for the fires
Nine is for the maidens
Ten is for the galleons
Eleven for the young men
Twelve is for the suns
And twelve for time a-passing
One is for the reaper
Who laughs as one by one the star-spangled
