Lyrics
*Non est mollis via, no no no
Emitte animo lucem veritatem
Non est millis via, no no no
ET sicut vita fine ita*
Cura cura kama cura cura kama
 
*(Latin: “there is no easy way from the earth to the stars” (Seneca)
There’s no easy way, no
Send out truthful light
There’s no easy way, no
As goes the life, so goes the death)
 
Padres, madres, old compadres
Speaking on and on
 
(whispered):
bella Elena, bellis perennis, primila too
Yes, I rememb, vinca in bloom
And lilac alba opened for you,
Rosa anina! Bella, it’s true!
 
Unsolved problems, small suggestions
Though all the ones they loved are long gone
They keep passing their messages along
 
(cura cura kama...)
 
Daughter’s lessons, grandson’s questions
Wishes, prayer and vows
 
(whispered):
 
(Whispered) Nana, he’s praying to Buddha, Jesus,
Allah and you
He tells me now his favorite is Zeua!
He could have learned his Bible from you
For me it’s all a spiritual groove
 
 
Meditations, celebration
Music floating out to starlight
In from starlight, voices fill the air
 
Songs so lonely, song so lovely
Song of pure despair
 
Spirit of love, come to us
Songs of our Fathers, can you hear them?
 
(lullaby section---lullaby names from all over world):
Tura lura, Thula, Nina, Nan, Tixo, lullaby you away
Mama, oye, come away, hear the waves of love
Laila, nocte, dorme nene,
Papa oye, huhs-a-bye-away
Bey An, oya, fa Nina Nanna
Mama, Tixo, para coracao
Nini cante, lomoriuta
Fais Dodo, Ho Nena Ho
Jo Jo Raama, fa Nina Nanna
Papa, oye, hush-a-bye-away
Bey An, oya, fa Nina Niann
 
Sometimes we live so deeply unaware
We never hear the voices in the air
As goes the life, so goes the death
With every breath joining in a deeper song
 
Hateful words verse:
Cura voces, voix de desespoir
Gib acht! Pass auf! Stia attento!
Cui! Muchi! May yo fa lu
Schonheit zerstort, nomine Deo
 
....earth to the starts, songs from all those we
Shared our light with, days and nights with
Gardens blooming, old friends moving on
All those we loved, every day you can listen
And you’ll hear...
 
Padres, madres, old compadres
Husbands, wives and all taken from us
Can they hear us calling through through the air
 
 
Songs so lonely, songs so lovely
Songs of pure despair
 
Spirit of Love, come to us
Songs of our Fathers we hear 
Voices through darkness adn light
Sometimes in sleep or throughout sleepless nights
‘till that first hush comes, before the dawn comes
You sense of peace comes for a moment
In the quiet hear the stillness
Fading shifting lifting stirring breathing ringing
Singing into...sound
 
Spirit and song, listen,
Cantus feret sensa nobis per saecula
Ita que sictu vita ita fine
 
Cura voces cura voces,
Ita fine, cura voces,
Cura voces, conto alot
Sictu vita, ita fine

IF AIN'T GOT YOU
