The Song Of Eternal Numbers - Angelo Branduardi[00:00:00]
Come here my angel and sit on my knee[00:00:26]
And tell me what song you would hear from me [00:00:30]
"Sing me the song of eternal numbers[00:00:33]
And from this day I shall well remember" [00:00:37]
One is for the reaper[00:00:40]
Waiting for his harvest of life [00:00:43]
Two is for the oxen straining at the cart [00:00:49]
Three is for the world and its every part [00:00:53]
Four there are the standing stones of Merlin[00:00:56]
Where the hero's swords were ever sharpened [00:00:59]
One is for the reaper[00:01:03]
Waiting for his harvest of life [00:01:06]
And the sum of the golden times[00:01:10]
In all ages of man is five[00:01:13]
Sang the dwarf in a cloud of steam [00:01:16]
Threw six herbs in the draught[00:01:19]
Which he stirred[00:01:20]
And he laughed [00:01:21]
He went "ha ha ha ha ha ha "[00:01:22]
And there are seven suns and[00:01:38]
There are seven moons [00:01:40]
Eight the blazing fires by the first of June [00:01:41]
Nine is for the maidens dancing[00:01:45]
Round the fountain[00:01:47]
Worshipping the moon rising on the mountain [00:01:48]
One is for the reaper[00:01:51]
Waiting for his harvest of life [00:01:55]
Ten is for the galleons coming from the war[00:02:01]
Which our young men fought[00:02:04]
On a distant shore[00:02:06]
And walking with their flag[00:02:08]
We counted eleven [00:02:09]
All that now remain of[00:02:11]
A hundred young men [00:02:12]
One is for the reaper[00:02:14]
Waiting for his harvest of life [00:02:17]
And the sum of the golden times[00:02:21]
In all the ages of man is five[00:02:24]
And the months of the year are twelve[00:02:27]
Made of days made of hours[00:02:30]
And minutes that pass[00:02:31]
And they pass and they pass they pass[00:02:34]
Now twelve is for the signs[00:02:49]
In the starbright sky[00:02:51]
In envy of his neighbour[00:02:52]
Challenge and defy [00:02:54]
I sing you the song of eternal numbers[00:02:56]
But I see a time when all is ended[00:02:59]
One is for the reaper[00:03:02]
Waiting for his harvest of life [00:03:05]
There will come a day[00:03:12]
When the trumpet splits the sky[00:03:13]
And thunder fire and wind[00:03:15]
Will lay waste the low and high;[00:03:17]
That will be the time in the song of numbers[00:03:18]
When the reaper tires at last of waiting [00:03:22]
One is for the reaper[00:03:25]
And two the oxen and three the parts [00:03:27]
And four is for the stones [00:03:30]
Five is for the ages six is for the herbs [00:03:32]
And seven are the suns [00:03:35]
And seven are the moons eight is for the fires [00:03:36]
Nine is for the maidens [00:03:40]
Ten is for the galleons [00:03:41]
Eleven for the young men [00:03:43]
Twelve is for the signs[00:03:45]
And twelve for time a'passing [00:03:46]
One is for the reaper who laughs[00:03:48]
As one by one the stars blink out[00:03:51]
