The Stag (牡鹿) - Angelo Branduardi[00:00:00]
"Tell us our good master[00:00:26]
Why you sit there so quietly[00:00:28]
And where are the trophies[00:00:32]
You usually bring home[00:00:35]
Like the heads of the Bengal tiger[00:00:38]
That decorate your great hall[00:00:41]
And the skins of lion and zebra[00:00:44]
That you've laid wall to wall "[00:00:47]
"My friends [00:00:51]
In the foothills before the rainy season[00:00:52]
I went out hunting one day all by myself [00:00:57]
Keeping the wind in my face I crept up[00:01:03]
To where a herd of deer were grazing[00:01:07]
When suddenly before me[00:01:11]
Stood a great horned king of stags[00:01:14]
And it's the truth I tell you believe me[00:01:17]
As the lord above's my witness [00:01:22]
The great beast did not quaver[00:01:25]
But softly began to speak "[00:01:28]
"It's written in the stars lord[00:01:36]
Upon this day I die[00:01:39]
So these my gifts I offer[00:01:42]
To you this Eastertide:[00:01:46]
These majestic antlers for you[00:01:49]
To hang your bows on[00:01:53]
And these my ears as fine cups[00:01:55]
For you to toast your ladies [00:01:58]
Take both my bright eyes[00:02:01]
For a pair of shining mirrors[00:02:04]
And all these bristles[00:02:08]
For brushes to shave your face [00:02:11]
I pray that you eat my flesh for ten days[00:02:14]
And from my hide you make a warm coat[00:02:18]
And as for your strength and courage[00:02:22]
My liver will serve you well[00:02:25]
Thus in the stars it's written my good sir[00:02:28]
That the body of this your servant[00:02:33]
Seven times will be fruitful[00:02:36]
And seven times be reborn "[00:02:39]
"Tell us our good master[00:02:47]
Why you sit there so quietly[00:02:50]
And where are all the trophies[00:02:53]
You usually bring home "[00:02:56]
You usually bring home "[00:03:00]
