Rachel Rachel (etc)

There used to be a girl in the village,
her house stood near the fields
My bird, my bride, she was a butterfly
between the ... and the garden
At day the wind sang for her,
the night made gentle sounds

Rachel, Rachel,
you are still a deer,
with your golden strings of hair
Rachel, Rachel,
your wine is heavy
And in your eyes the grapes kiss each other
Rachel, Rachel



And the night came, heavy with dew
And she left the corn? fields
The stars were sad in the sky
as were those from the village
The rose besides her house went dry
and only the wind sang

Rachel, Rachel
