| Tzena Tzena, Tzena, Tzena Can't you hear the music playing In the village square? Tzena, Tzena, join the celebration There'll be people from every nation Dawn will find us dancing in the sunlight In the village square Rose Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose Will I ever see thee wed? I will marry at thy will sire, At thy will Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong Wedding bells on an April morn Carve my name on a moss coloured stone On a moss coloured stone Note- This is a good song to sing in a round. Softly Falls the Light of Day (Vespers) Softly falls the light of day, As our campfire fades away Silently each Guide should ask, Have I done my daily task Have I kept my honour bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared Everything to be prepared? Wetspers Softly falls the rain today As our campsite floats away Silently each Guide should ask Have I packed my SCUBA mask? Have I tied my tent flaps down? Learned to swim, so I won't drown? Have I done and will I try Everything to kee me dry? Tall Trees Tall trees that reach the sky Mountains and lakes near by Draw near by friends Come sing my friends Our campfire time is nigh Barges This is the TRADITIONAL version only! Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light Silently flows the river to the sea And the barges too go silently CHORUS- Barges I would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges, have you treasure in your hold Do you fight with pirates brave and bold? Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light Starboard shines green and port is glowing red I can see them flickering far ahead CHORUS |
