Лин Вейч - Wheel of the Year - ноты, текст песни (слова)

1. Casting the Circle 
No Lyrics 
   
2. Samhain 
Eucalyptus, rosemary,  
Burning brightly for remembrance:  
Burning bright for purity  
On this night when we remember...  
   
Once again, Shadow's Eve.  
Light the candle at the window.  
Set a light to guide them home  
Through the darkness of the night.  
   
Contemplate our visions,  
Dreaming of times long gone:  
Dreaming of our loved ones  
Who have passed across our lives...  
   
Eucalyptus, rosemary,  
Burning brightly for remembrance  
Burning bright for purity  
On this night when we recall.  
   
3. Yule 
Cold snow,  
Icy the winds that blow  
Cold, blow, in the dark of night.  
   
Cold snow, icy the winds that blow  
Cold, blow in the dark of night.  
   
Icy cold wind blow, freezing winter snow  
Yuletide is come!  
Feel the icy breath, bitter cold of death  
Yuletide is come!  
   
Cold winter wind blowing icily.  
Coldest, longest of nights.  
Coldest, darkest of nights.  
   
Drifting snowflakes on the air, blowing icily.  
Twirling snowflakes on the air:  
Wintertime at Yule.  
   
4. Imbolc 
No Lyrics 
   
5. Ostara 
Ostara (repeated) 
   
All hail Ostara when all life is reborn 
Honouring new life on Ostara morn 
   
All hail Ostara as the sun rises in the morn 
from the freezing biting cold of winter 
all hail the day  
all hail the light 
   
Life rising  
Life growing 
Weaving life 
   
Rising, lighting, growing, all hail the light 
   
Ostara (repeated) 
Ostara! 
   
6. Beltane 
Brightly the fires at Beltane burn  
Rise, as the dusklight is fading  
And we will dance, as we sing this song  
Sing to the Lord and the Lady.  
   
7. Midsummer 
(Ding dong ding dong, midnight rising)  
(Ding dong ding dong, chimes are striking)  
Over hill, over dale, (Shadowy trees)  
Thorough bush, thorough brier, (Whispering winds)  
Over park, over pale, (Evening breeze)  
Thorough flood, thorough fire, (Call Fairies in)  
I do wander everywhere,  
Swifter than the moon's sphere;  
And I serve the fairy queen,  
To dew her orbs upon the green:  
The cow slips tall her pensioners be;  
In their gold coats spots you see;  
Those be rubies, fairy favours,  
In those freckles live their savours:  
I must go seek some dew drops here,  
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.  
(We welcome summer in!) 
   
The above lyrics are from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream Act II, Scene I, with the exception of bracketed text (original work).  
   
8. Lammas 
(Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,  
All that dies will be reborn.  
Corn and grain, corn and grain,  
All that falls will rise again.)  
   
Bring the crops in against the weather:  
Wheat and barley and hops and hay.  
Working, harvesting in together -  
Celebrating Lammas today.  
   
Night draws nearer, and wind blows colder:  
Wheat and barley and hops and hay.  
Gather in as the days grow shorter,  
Celebrating Lammas today.  
   
Cull the last of the Summer's bounty:  
Wheat and barley and hops and hay.  
Welcome in Autumn's golden beauty -  
Celebrating Lammas today.  
   
Bid farewell to the days of Summer:  
Wheat and barley and hops and hay.  
Calling in the cool rains of Winter,  
Celebrating Lammas today.  
   
(Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,  
All that dies will be reborn.  
Corn and grain, corn and grain,  
All that falls will rise again)  
   
All text and music original, apart from bracketed text and its associated chant (traditional). 
   
9. Mabon 
Wind, fire, sea, stone  
Breath, flame, wave, bone  
   
Long light has lingered here, Earth still is warm,  
Deepening shadows lost by the dawn.  
Long darkness rising here, though heat lingers on,  
Twist of the Equinox - Mabon has come.  
   
Dead leaves fall silently, drift on the air,  
Trees standing, slumbering - dry, cracked and bare.  
Time passes quietly, echoing past:  
Earth calls the winter in. Mabon at last!  
   
Shadows through the mist I see:  
Time passing silently.  
Starlight, as the Spiral bends.  
Moonlight, as the daylight ends. 
   
10. Closing 
By the Earth, by all fleshly beings  
By the Water, and all creatures that drink from her  
By the Fire, and the shining spirits of the Bright Ones  
By the Breath that gives all Life.  
   
By Earth, by Water, by Fire and by Air  
Bright Ones, depart in peace from this place.
