ON THE BEST OF MY JOYS
On the best of my joys
I tied on a wreath,
a wreath of flowers of the field
and one or two thorns.
My celebration went out
To perform in the streets
Barefooted
At high-noon.
They caught her, the guards
who wandered the town.
Why do you dance like this
And why does your voice rejoice?
Better that you should sing protest songs
That's what goes these days
That's what goes
My celebration replied -
I will dance and dance
with a wreath of flowers of the field
and one or two thorns
because my joy
is my protest
barefooted
at high-noon.
My celebration replied -
I will dance and sing
Until my soul departs
Because my joy
Is my protest
And that is the real strength.
Take it
song between twilights
evita?
to the list of songs.
