As if the flow of the waters
Share As if the flow of the waters From the triple streams of heavenly showers So the sacred Ao of the eighth heavens Whose flames have scorched the land. Chorus: Should our hearts’ love be restored And our rights be ours once more Then will our sacred beloved shoals of Kane Be the firm foundation of the land.

Cold words and looks reprove Oh, turn not thus away Give kindly greetings, words of love And a heart which beats within. Notes: Ao: spout Source:
