IN THE FIELDS OF BETHLEHEM
The moonlight on the mountain
a white night in the fields of Bethlehem
a jackal howls in a broken voice
where has my flock turned to go
Oh the vulture and the eagle
I have no name/nest and no home
hey my flute, lament of my flute
Until nighttime I'll continue to go
with a shepherd's sack over my shoulder
hey my flute, lament of my flute
A stone lies on my heart
like the stones in the fields of Bethlehem
wind passes the grasses
where has my flock turned to go
Somewhere at the end of the road
you'll/will you wait as the evening sets
hey my flute, lament of my flute
You'll/will you wait for a traveller
with the bread and salt
hey my flute, lament of my flute
(x2)
The moonlight on the mountain
a white night in the fields of Bethlehem
