Abstract

If while I’m still ali ve I can summon a bimo If while I’m still ali ve I can return along the route my ancesto rs took If I can do all of t his and it isn’t a drea m If the previous generations who died lo ng ago ask what I’m doing each d ay I’ll honestly s ay: He ardently loves people of all races and the sweet lips of wom en He oen w ft rites poems at nigh t But he’s never schemed against anyone understanding Follow m e into the stream of people who are gat hered to listen to the bamboo flute and the m abu You’ll surely see m e solemnly lower my he ad aer e ft ach song ends Follow m e but I have one reques t When you see me cr y, whatever you do, do n’t think it’s because I’m drun k If you say my actio ns are a little pecu liar it’s only becau se the language of this m usic is ancient and splendid Follow m e Don’t drag me home right awa y, because you don’t kno w how completely content I a m inside these melodies and scales Jidi Majia 15
