A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Brian London! Great message! Wonderful, infectious beat! Yes, it is a challenge to dance while transcribing but I have proven that it can be done. This song is bringing down the house and melting the snow round here.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
