Undertaker Lyrics

u ne la nv i u me tsi
i go ga gv he i
hna quo tso sv wi yu lo se
i ga gu yv ho nv

Under what spell the guiding light
Betook the undertaker
Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
Characters of flamen eyes
Eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlet
The singing sinew
The whining ghost
Brutal wind of snowy harlot
Chafen mine eyes
A sandpaper kiss
Bloody rosen my cheek
Purple kiss of stardust
Pink balloon of time
Candied on the inside
Baby pit bull butterfly
Do da do da do dah do dah

The Cherokee lyrics are from the beginning of the Cherokee version of amazing grace. I snagged the following elsewhere. (http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=499194 -Thanks, Mahalialee4)

Amazing Grace This hymn was written in 1779 by John Newton who, until his early 20's, was an unbeliever. A decade later he had become a devout preacher. The tune was known as "an early American Melody" and became a favorite of the Cherokees. It was sung on the Trail of Tears and can be considered the Cherokee National anthem.

CHEROKEE AMAZING GRACE u ne la nv i u we tsi God's Son

i ga gu yv he i paid for us.

hna quo tso sv wi yu lo se Now to heaven He went

i ga gu yv ho nv after paying for us.

a se no i u ne tse i Then He spoke

i yu no du le nv when He rose.

ta li ne dv tsi lu tsi li I'll come the second time

u dv ne u ne tsv He said when He spoke.

e lo ni gv ni li s qua di All the world will end

ga lu tsv ha i yu when He returns

ni ga di da ye di go i We will all see Him

a ni e lo ni gv here the world over.

u na da nv ti a ne hv The righteous who live

do da ya nv hi li He will come after.

tso sv hna quo ni go hi lv In heaven now always

do hi wa ne he s di in peace they will live.

nice but 'chafin my eyes' like 'chafing,' i think, like the brutal wind is chafing

Honestly, the metaphor "pink balloon of time" is so evocative and unique. You breathe into a balloon to fill it up. After a certain number of breaths, the balloon pops, or else floats away from you, i.e. you die. A balloon is fragile, like the limited time you have on earth. But balloons (especially pink ones) are a symbol of joy too, common at birthday parties and other celebrations. Life is a celebration, short as it is. Most of all, balloons are light, which implies both that life is insignificant, but also that it shouldn't be taken overly seriously.
