lyrics


Fay Lovsky with Fodor Quintette
The horse
Luciano Berio Opus no. Zoo


Listening - to a cry of bombs,
Listening - to the scream of a distant field
Listening - this is what the fawn thought, standing by a stream

"What madness, what madness of men, to diminish the earth?
To blast all that is lively, lively proud and gentle -
What can be the reason?
What can be the reason?
What? - Can be? - The reason? - The reason?"

The fawn thought,
listening to a cry of bombs, standing by a stream:
"What can be the reason?"
