(song)
Say I am deep within the blood!
Say I am come in every bud!
They’re coming to the dance
Tell him tell one tell all
She shook her fingers aaaah!
She shook her feathers aaah!
She shook her body aaaah!
She shook her petals aaaah!
We’re spinning all around
We’re leaping up and down
The Lady and Green Man
The edge where spring began
The woman in the flower
The nightbird in the nest
The spirit in the song
The key within the breast.
Blodeuwedd, the Lady of the Summer Lands, the Queen of the May

The Green Man
And you breathe down into the wave
and the wave rises
And you breathe down into the wave
and the wave rises
rising and falling
rising and falling
rising
Like a bellows
Your have held your breath for so long
Tell me where you were when I didn't see you
When you hold your breath who hold you?
You are so quiet
Do you breathe your heart out?
Do you breathe out hope?
Do you breathe out joy?
Do you breathe out stone?
How can we voyage without you
breathing in breathing out
and these clouds you exhale
from your leafy stone
Do you breathe out green leaves?
Do you breathe out mist?
Do you breathe out joy?
One last fragrant breath?
I was waiting for that breath
you held for so long
I was waiting for that breath
to fill the sky
And you breathe down into the wave
and the wave rises
And you breathe down into the wave
and the wave rises
rising and falling
rising and falling
rising
Holding : holding course : holding :

Calan Mai

I sleep with the iron key between my teeth
This morning I woke to find myself covered in white blossom
and I remember that today is
Calan Mai
I am up to my elbows in May blossom
Blagur yn ffrwydro
Persawr y fan gudd
Persawr y fan yng nghalon y blodyn
Pwy sy'n hela negeseuon ar Galan Mai?
May blossom tumbling
the sea in flower
red carpet rolled on every side
Blossom we are sailing our mayflower voyaging in
Calan Mai
Mae'r blodyn wastad yn yr almwn
Dyma fy mhleser, dyma fy mraint
Yn felys ac yn chwerw
Adain yn curo curo curo
Calan Mai
