Campana Songtext
von Red River Dialect

Breaking the bread
Ringing the bell
Mowing the lawn
And singing so well
My old campana

Through three cornered leek
And cow parsley scent
Past crooked old graves
And sweet wrappers went
My old campana

And I dreamt I was you
As you walked under and through
The dripping rhododendrons
You were wearing your bright yellow coat
And your heart beat was true


"Three to four!"
"Five to three!"
The floorboards creak
Hold the sally firmly
My old campana

If you rest it wrong
And you break the stay
You′d better drop
The rope and pray
My old campana

And I dreamt I was you
As you walked under and through
The dripping rhododendrons
You were wearing your bright yellow coat
And your heart beat was true

Would I rather be
A hunted fox
Or a dairy cow
In a six foot box?
My old campana


Am I a meteor
Or an asteroid?
An animal
Or an android?
My old campana

And I dreamt I was you
As you walked under and through
The dripping rhododendrons
You were wearing your bright yellow coat
And your heart beat was true, true, true!

I used to write riddles
Not anymore!
Now I sell seashells
On the seashore
My old campana

I was always wanting
You to be
Someone who you are not
Go free!
My old campana

And I dreamt I was you
As you walked under and through
The dripping rhododendrons
You were wearing your bright yellow coat
And your heart beat was true
