Horizons - The King's Singers

Sleep, my springbok baby

Sleep for me, my springbok child

When morning comes, I’ll go out hunting

For you are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Small moon, Hai!

Young moon

When the sun rises, you must speak to the Rain

Charm her with herbs and honeycomb

O speak to her, that I may drink, this little thing, that I may drink

That I may drink, that I may drink

She will come across the dark sky

Mighty Raincow, sing your song for me

That I may find you on the far horizon, far horizon

Horizon

Sleep, my springbok baby

Sleep for me, my springbok child

When morning comes we’ll go out hunting

For you are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

O Star, Hai!

Hunting Star

When the sun rises you must blind with your light

The Eland’s eyes

O blind his eyes, that I may eat, this little thing, that I may eat

That I may eat, that I may eat

He will come across the red sands

Mighty Eland, dance your dance for me

That I may find you on the far horizon, far horizon

Horizon

Sleep, my springbok baby

Sleep for me, my springbok child

When morning comes, they’ll come a-hunting

For they are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry

Hungry

They will come across the waters

Mighty saviours in their sailing ships

And they will show us new and far horizons, far horizons

Horizon

And they came, came across the waters

Gods in galleons, bearing bows of steel

Then they killed us, on the far horizon

Horizon
