Understanding

Follow meinto the stream of people who are gatheredto listen to the bamboo flute and the mabuYou’ll surely see mesolemnly lower my headafter each song ends

Follow mebut I have one requestWhen you see me cry,whatever you do, don’tthink it’s because I’m drunkIf you say my actionsare a little peculiarit’s only becausethe language of this musicis ancient and splendid

Follow meDon’t drag me home right away,because you don’t knowhow completely content I aminside these melodies and scales
