Een ode aan de herfst..

Mooi nummer van Clannad Karin .. het tweede stuk is oud-Engels?

Dank voor het plaatsen !

Het is inderdaad heel mooi .... werd er zelfs een beetje emotioneel van

Mooi herfstplaatje heb je Karin
Zou nog wel een keer de Indian Summer in Amerika/Canada willen meemaken.

Ikke ook!!!!!!!! En wel snel ook haha

Geen idee Bart, als ik het zo lees lijkt het wel zo.

ALL SOULS NIGHT

Bonfire dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides -- photo
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.

This piece was inspired by the imagery of a Japanese tradition which celebrated the souls of the departed by sending candle-lit lanterns out on waterways leading to the ocean, sometimes in little boats; along with the imagery of the Celtic All Souls Night celebrations, at which time huge bonfires were lit not only to mark the new year, but to warm the souls of the departed. - L.M.
