The text describes an eternal being that receives the ancestral light to form part of the stellar mantle. It provides support and guidance to those who are looking for a path. Lyrics And the shadow of twilight fades when the light of the ancestors forms a mantle that protects and guides us. A being illuminating the galaxies The certainty on the shipwrecked path The glint of existence, time and distance. The ancient aurora of golden light at the awakening of the dawn the eyes radiant with certainties condensed into rays of light. The eternal radiance of the soul: an instant of infinite distances and the birth of a million dawns.  less

Det binder hon om sin kärastes arm. Men kära min lilla jungfru, knyt inte så hårdt. Jag ämnar ej att rymma bort. Och jungfru hon går och lossar på rödan gullband. Så hastigt den skälmen åt skogen då sprang. Då sköto de efter honom med femton gevär Och vill ni mig något, så ha ni mig här. 少女拿著紅色金絲帶繞圈跳舞 她將絲帶綁在愛人的手臂上 我親愛的小姑娘，別綁得這麼緊哪 我沒打算逃跑呀 少女一鬆開紅色金絲帶 少年郎立刻衝向樹林裡 這時大夥兒拿起十五把獵槍朝他發射 你們想怎麼樣都行，我就在這兒  less
