But before translating the lyrics, I must have them. Unfortunately I don't understand a part of the english words of this song. Do somebody can help me about those lyrics. The song is probably not well-known but I can send a digital copy by email to anyone who agree to help me. Thanks. Pascal (in St-Pierre & Miquelon) |

However, rather than they get lost, I though storing them on Mudcat would at least preserve them. **Please note that the transcription is accurate except for the missing word of stanza 1, line 4. |

999, could [one word missing] be "because"? Seems like there's another word at the end of that line. |

"Mine" sort of trails off at the end, and it could be something else that almost sorta rhymes with "while", I can't think what. The "solstice here" actually sounds like "falls this year" but that doesn't make sense. |
