HOT HOT

Hot, hot, this is the heat of the hamsins*
let's jump to the cold water of the river
let's go out to the disappearing fields
there the moon gripped from the foxes' cries

Hot, hot, days of badness, hunger and low tide
there's no work, it's the time to wander far
my love, continue on don't wait for me
go and find yourself a young man of delight

Hot, hot
hot, hot
hot, hot

Go out in your land, maybe you'll fine yourself
belonging to the landscape, to sides of the road
in each place your heart is set, that is your land
and your motherland
and you're one of the stones on the road

Hot, hot...
