The Snow - Elgar
O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight
O soul, be thou as white as snow,
O snow, which falls so slow,
Dear earth quite warm below;
O heart, so keep thy glow
Beneath the snow.

O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow'rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save, as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.

O snow, thou'rt white no more,
Thy sparkling too, is o'er;
O soul, be as before,
Was bright the snow.
Then as the snow all pure,
O heart be, but endure;
Through all the years full sure,
Not as the snow.

Fly, singing bird
Fly, singing bird, fly,
From the wood where lies shelter'd thy nest,
From the tree whence thou pourest thy song,
Fly away, far away to the west,
Tell my love that I wait,
Ah! too long and lonely, I wait.

Fly, singing bird, fly,
O'er the blossoming meadows, where grow
Yellow cowslips and daffodils pale.
Say I wait where anemones blow,
Weary wait, till with waiting I
Fail, and failing, I sigh.

Fly, singing bird, fly,
Leave thy nest 'midst the wood, lone, unsought,
Leave the cradling boughs, spread thy wing,
And swift as my following thought,
Onward speed, and swift flying, still sing,
Come, or I die!

Yagi Bushi - Ko Matsushita
(If anyone can find a good recording of the SSAA version please let me know! TTBB's fine too, I guess.)



Kataka-taka - Laureola
Kataka-takang mahibang ang katulad ko sa iyo
Biru-biro ang simula ang wakas pala ay ano?
Aayaw-ayaw pa ako, ngunit ’yan ay ’di totoo
Dahil sa iyo puso kong ito’y binihag mo.

Ala-ala ka maging gabi’t araw
Alipinin mo’y walang kailangan
Marinig ko lang sa labi mo hirang
Na ako’y iibigin lagi habang buhay.
Credits.

The Snow and Yagi Bushi was performed by TKGS while Kataka-taka was presented by Anderson last night. (:

Now I want to go back to sing nice choir songs like this. T.T

Btw, it was an awesome night spent with Lou, Sa, Deb, Fee, Sheryl Tan, Tracy and Qian Wei. (:

I think I'll take a nap like, now. (Though it's like, 5.20pm!D)
Heehee. :P

Xoxo.
