(Cherokee)

Under what spell the guarding light be took the undertaker
Under his gaze did fall search evil blunder
Characters of flaming eyes eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager towards the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlit, the singing sinew, the wining ghost, brutal window
Snowy harlot, Chaffing mine eyes the sun paper kiss
Bloody rose on my cheek, purple kiss of stardust
Pink baloon of time candied on the inside Baby pitbull butterfly

(Cherokee)

    General Comment:The Cherokee lyrics are from the beginning of the Cherokee version of amazing grace. I snagged the following elsewhere. (longhaircareforum.com/… -Thanks, Mahalialee4)


    Amazing Grace
    This hymn was written in 1779 by John Newton who, until his early 20's, was an unbeliever. A decade later he had become a devout preacher.
    The tune was known as "an early American Melody" and became a favorite of the Cherokees. It was sung on the Trail of Tears and can be considered the Cherokee National anthem.

    CHEROKEE AMAZING GRACE

    hna quo tso sv wi yu lo se
    i ga gu yv ho nv

    Under what spell the guiding light
    Betook the undertaker
    Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
    Characters of flamen eyes
    Eager to burn the wooden castle
    Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
    The aching starlet
    The singing sinew
    The whining ghost
    Brutal wind of snowy harlot
    Chafen mine eyes
    A sandpaper kiss
    Bloody rosen my cheek
    Purple kiss of stardust
    Pink balloon of time
    Candied on the inside
    Baby pit bull butterfly
    Do da do da do dah do dah

    u ne la nv i u me tsi
    i go ga gv he i
    hna quo tso sv wi yu lo se
    i ga gu yv ho nv

    General Comment:guarding light = guiding light
    under his gaze did fall search evil blunder = under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
    eager towards the paper heart = eager to wet the paper heart
    the aching starlit = the aching starlet
    the wining ghost = the whining ghost
    sun paper kiss = sandpaper kiss

    Amazing song
    cocorosie just keeps getting better and better
