Verse
A# F7
Round the beggar from Luossa people gathered in a ring,
F7 A#
by the campfire they sat and heard his song.
D# A#
And of wayfarers and mendicants and every wondrous thing
F7 A#
and of his longing he sang to them all night long.
[Chorus 1]
D# A#
“There is something beyond mountains, beyond flowers, beyond singing,
F7 A#
there is something there behind the star, behind my burning heart.
D# A#
Hearken, something goes there whispering, goes there calling me and praying
F7 A#
‘come to us, for of this earthly kingdom you are not a part.’
[Verse 2]
A# F7
I have listened to the tranquil waves that roll against the beach,
F7 A#
to dream of wild seas’ rest has been my lot.
D# A#
And in spirit I have hastened towards the formless lands
F7 A#
where the dearest thing we knew shall be forgot.
[Chorus 2]
D# A#
To a wild, eternal longing we were born by pallid mothers,
F7 A#
from the labour pains of troubles rose our first and anguished cry.
D# A#
We were thrown on plains and mountains then, to play with all our brothers,
F7 A#
and we played there elk and lion, beggar, god and butterfly.
[Verse 3]
A# F7
I sat silent by her side, she whose heart was like to mine,
F7 A#
with hands so soft she tended to our nest.
D# A#
But I heard my heart then calling: ‘what thou ownest is not thine’
F7 A#
and the spirit came and bore me off to rest.
[Chorus 3]
D# A#
What I love is far away beyond, concealed in distant darkness,
F7 A#
and high and wonderful is my true way.
D# A#
And amid this clamour I am called to pray before the Heavens:
F7 A#
What no-one has I want to own, take all the earth away!
[Verse 4]
A# F7
Follow, brother, beyond mountains, to the cool and peaceful rivers,
F7 A#
where in beds of mountain garlands all sea slowly goes to sleep.
D# A#
Somewhere there beyond the heavens is my home, I have my mother,
F7 A#
in the golden-sprinkled mists, dressed in rosy mantle deep.
[Chorus 4]
D# A#
May the black and salty waters cool the cheeks that burn with fever,
F7 A#
let’s be miles away from life before the morning breaks above!
D# A#
Not of this world was I, brother; hardships without end I suffered
F7 A#
for the sake of worries, faithlessness and of my burning love.
[Verse 5]
A# F7
By a shore all dressed in seashells stands a gate of roses heavy,
F7 A#
therein sleep the mouldered shipwrecks, and the tired men find rest.
D# A#
Songs unheard and high there sing like violins in distant echoes
F7 A#
under arches where eternal children live forever blessed.
