First Song (第一首歌) - Andrew Bird (Andrew Wegman Bird)[00:00:00]
Then it was dusk in Illinois a small boy[00:00:47]
After an afternoon of carting dung hung[00:00:52]
On a rail fence a sapped thing[00:00:59]
So weary to crying[00:01:06]
Dark was growing tall[00:01:11]
He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear[00:01:15]
They were calling on his ear[00:01:23]
They were calling on his ear with what seemed their joy[00:01:26]
Soon the sound was pleasant for a boy[00:01:40]
Listening in the smoky dusk and nightfall of Illinois[00:01:44]
And from the fields two small boys came[00:01:52]
Bearing cornstalk violins[00:01:59]
So they rubbed the cornstalk bows with resins[00:02:05]
And the three just sat there scraping of the joy[00:02:07]
Of their joy[00:02:14]
It was now fine music the frogs and the boys did[00:02:49]
In the towering Illinois twilight[00:02:53]
Make and into dark in spite a shoulders ache[00:02:55]
A boys hunched body loved out of a stalk[00:03:01]
The first song of his happiness[00:03:04]
And the song woke his heart[00:03:08]
Into the darkness and sadness of joy[00:03:10]
Dark was growing tall[00:03:17]
He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear[00:03:21]
They were calling on his ear[00:03:29]
With what seemed their joy[00:03:35]
