1 "The Mother Living in the Cross" by Altan Band
1
The trees they grow high, and the leaves they do grow green,
Many is the time my true love I've seen,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
He's young but he's daily growing.
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong,
You have married me to a boy who is too young,
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,
He's young but he's daily growing.
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong,
I have married you to a great lord's son,
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
He's young but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, if you see fit,
We'll send him to college for another year yet,
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,
To let the maidens know that he is married.
One day I was looking over my father's castle wall,
I spied all the boys playing with a ball,
And my own true love was the flower of them all,
He's young but he's daily growing.
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,
And what they did there she never would declare,
But she never more complained of his growing.
At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
And death had put an end to his growing.
I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud,
With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.

2.1 "Sleeping Sun" by Nightwish
2.1.1
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping Weeping With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping WeepingWith you
2.1.2
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
The sun sinks into the eastern sea
A century of loneliness
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
The blue waves ebb and flow
The blood-red passion fades away
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The dream in the clouds
Exhausts my life
The journey is like night
Long and full of forks
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
Time does not pass
Truth and falsehood are not revealed
No loss of my thoughts
No addition of my sins
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Wish to stay with me for my whole life
The darkness has wings
The light shore is lost
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
Sorrow connects the soul
Believe in my thoughts
Sorrow will not come
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Sailing with a thousand moons
Searching up and down
Nowhere to find
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
The days of light
Turn into ashes as torches
Countless endless days
Only for one night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
Magnificent and beautiful
The poet sings
The world is speechless
Quietly intoxicated
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Wish to stay with me for my whole life
The darkness has wings
The light shore is lost
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
The sun sinks into the eastern sea
Swear to follow it
Go with you to pass away
Cry with you
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Wish to stay with me for my whole life
The darkness has wings
The light shore is lost
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
The sun sinks into the eastern sea
Swear to follow it
Go with you to pass away
Cry with you

3 "Love and the Wind and Dust" by Lao Lang
That day
Dusk
The snow began to float
Sadness
Filled the hillside
Wait for youth to end
Midnight movie
Written with ancient love
In the dark
Singing for the young
Let's go
Girl
To see the red dawn
Take
My love song
You sing in the wind
Dew hangs on the hair
Full of transparent melancholy
It's my first confusion in life
When years
And beauty
Have become sighs in the dust
In your sentimental eyes
There are old tears
Believe in the age of love
The song I couldn't sing to you
Makes me often recall in my life
Believe in the age of love
The song I couldn't sing to you
Makes me often recall in my life
