Between the Earth and Skies

Song Cycle by Galina Grigorjeva (b. 1962)

1. Alussa oli sana
 (Sung text)

Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Alussa on sana
ja se sana on haukan suussa saarella,
jonka nimi on Ka!
ja se sana on sen haukan nimi saarella,
jonka nimi on Ka! haukan suussa
joka on jumalan kuva
ja se sana on jumalan sana saarella, jonka nimi on Ka!
Ja se haukka lentää saaren ympäri, huutaa Ka!
Ja herää mies
herää nainen, saarella
joka on jumalan sana
joka on sen haukan nimi paikassa, jonka nimi on Ka!

4. There Will Come Soft Rains  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one 
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree 
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she awoke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
