Verse
D A7
Round the beggar from Luossa people gathered in a ring,
A7 D
by the campfire they sat and heard his song.
G D
And of wayfarers and mendicants and every wondrous thing
A7 D
and of his longing he sang to them all night long.
[Chorus 1]
G D
“There is something beyond mountains, beyond flowers, beyond singing,
A7 D
there is something there behind the star, behind my burning heart.
G D
Hearken, something goes there whispering, goes there calling me and praying
A7 D
‘come to us, for of this earthly kingdom you are not a part.’
[Verse 2]
D A7
I have listened to the tranquil waves that roll against the beach,
A7 D
to dream of wild seas’ rest has been my lot.
G D
And in spirit I have hastened towards the formless lands
A7 D
where the dearest thing we knew shall be forgot.
[Chorus 2]
G D
To a wild, eternal longing we were born by pallid mothers,
A7 D
from the labour pains of troubles rose our first and anguished cry.
G D
We were thrown on plains and mountains then, to play with all our brothers,
A7 D
and we played there elk and lion, beggar, god and butterfly.
[Verse 3]
D A7
I sat silent by her side, she whose heart was like to mine,
A7 D
with hands so soft she tended to our nest.
G D
But I heard my heart then calling: ‘what thou ownest is not thine’
A7 D
and the spirit came and bore me off to rest.
[Chorus 3]
G D
What I love is far away beyond, concealed in distant darkness,
A7 D
and high and wonderful is my true way.
G D
And amid this clamour I am called to pray before the Heavens:
A7 D
What no-one has I want to own, take all the earth away!
[Verse 4]
D A7
Follow, brother, beyond mountains, to the cool and peaceful rivers,
A7 D
where in beds of mountain garlands all sea slowly goes to sleep.
G D
Somewhere there beyond the heavens is my home, I have my mother,
A7 D
in the golden-sprinkled mists, dressed in rosy mantle deep.
[Chorus 4]
G D
May the black and salty waters cool the cheeks that burn with fever,
A7 D
let’s be miles away from life before the morning breaks above!
G D
Not of this world was I, brother; hardships without end I suffered
A7 D
for the sake of worries, faithlessness and of my burning love.
[Verse 5]
D A7
By a shore all dressed in seashells stands a gate of roses heavy,
A7 D
therein sleep the mouldered shipwrecks, and the tired men find rest.
G D
Songs unheard and high there sing like violins in distant echoes
A7 D
under arches where eternal children live forever blessed.
