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
