Story Behind the Song
This song is sung in the original Swinlese tongue, which is a very rare and difficult tongue to master. The dialect consists of no more thatn 30 words which may only be spoken once a day in accordance with local religion (unitarian zoroastrian) and tribal custom.
This song is in fact the national anthem of the Swi. It tells the tale of a travelling con man warrior, who has taken up the dubious task of selling flowers to unsuspecting young women which were picked from their own gardens. He goes about this game, not realizing that this is in fact how women get pregnant. The song tells of his realization and eventual contrition when he meets up with a mother and a garden filled with babies.
Amory LeClair: Vocals, Traditional Swi Toy Piano (Swihdleoli)
Kevin Wilson: Vocals, Loops, Samples, Synths
Lyrics
TRANSLATION
MAN: I have been the biggest fool of all the land
for this I must atone
CHILDREN: Ha ha ha ha
MAN: I will go to the fish who eats my face
so that none may gaze upon the ass of god
CHILDREN: No, no, you must first come water the garden with spittle
so we, your children may know that you have seen the ocean.
MAN: I cannot speak of mother ocean
when I have deceived her
(Baby laughing)
What is that delightful sound which I have no right to hear?
Ahh coochie coochie coochie
I have seen the foolishness of my ways
and will only sell flowers to women with cattle (the direct translation here is actually the girl with the camel)
CHILDREN: We, your children are so pleased
we will dance when there is nothing more to say
WARRIORS: HUH HUH HUH HUH
CHILDREN Remember that though the crane has no teeth
it is also incapable of dental plaque (Swindlese greeting)
What is left but One, two three.......
