Who is like my child      Who’s so lovely and wild?      Oh, my little bird      By the river I have heard      My lover calls      In fall and spring      She says      Keep your eyes on heron’s wings      She’s coming soon      Let’s dance and sing      For the joy a new life brings      Strong and graceful, too      Like your mother      In red and blue      Love I never knew      Filled my heart      When I held you      My lover calls      In fall and spring      She says      Keep your eyes on heron’s wings      She’s coming soon      Let’s dance and sing      For the joy that her life brings
