Episode 203

YOUNG IRISA (CA)

(sings)

As I slept upon the Ark

I dreamed about a tree
In it was a Casti bird

that sang of Kama Lea

Kama Lea, Kama Lea

Maid with ivory hair
Starlight came along with thee

and swallows in the air

Kama Lea, Kama Lea

Maid with ivory hair
Starlight came along with thee

and swallows in the air

In thy blush the rose was born

Music, when you spake
Through thine orange eyes the morn

sparkling seemed to break

Kama Lea, Kama Lea

Birds of crimson wing
no sweeter song have sung to me

than you in Casti spring

Kama Lea! The bird may flee,

flee from human pain
Swing through winter fitfully,

borne on razor rain

Yet if orange eyes I see

gloom will soon depart
For to me, sweet Kama Lea

is starlight through the heart

When the digba tree was bright

midst the summer snows
Starlight in thy face would light

pleasing lips of rose

Kama Lea, Kama Lea

Wear my telo true
Love and light return to me

I claim this world for you
