MA COMES AND STANDS

Ma comes and stands
by the window

The river swift below

Leaping out of the water rows of burning snakes

I come to the river to pick up
my iron-fettered flute

By the window high in the sky
Ma comes and stands

then moves away.

MA COMES AND STANDS

Ma comes and stands
by the window

The river swift below

Leaping out of the water rows of burning snakes

I come to the river to pick up
my iron-fettered flute

By the window high in the sky
Ma comes and stands

then moves away.

MA COMES AND STANDS

Ma comes and stands
by the window

The river swift below

Leaping out of the water rows of burning snakes

I come to the river to pick up
my iron-fettered flute

By the window high in the sky
Ma comes and stands

then moves away.
