The River's Song

High in the hills, the morning is cool. A little river leaves a quiet pool. It hums a tune, so soft and slow. And down, and down, it starts to go. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.

It flows past fields of rice so green. The softest green you have ever seen. A farmer rests beneath a tree. The river hums, so calm and free. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.

It passes a village, quiet and small. A temple bell rings, ding-dong, for all. The children wave from the riverside. The river hums, so calm and wide. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.

The sun goes down, the sky turns gold. The air is soft, not hot, not cold. The cows walk home, the birds fly by. The river hums a lullaby. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.

The moon comes up, so round and bright. The river reaches the sea at night. The sea is wide, the sea is deep. It hugs the river, and they sleep. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.

And you, my love, can hum it too. This river song is just for you. Wherever you go, by night or day, This song will help you find your way. Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, all the way home.
