Jetzt kann man sie wieder beobachten, wenn es dunkel wird: Die Glühwürmchen sind unterwegs. Eigentlich handelt es sich um ganz normale Käfer, ausser dass Glühwürmchen während der Paarungszeit in der Nacht wunderschön hell leuchten. Dieses tierische Phänomen hat schon manchen Künstler zu einem Lied inspiriert.
Heute erfreuen uns die norwegischen Zwillingsschwestern Ingelin und Hildegunn a. k. a. Garness mit ihrem Lied über Glühwürmchen.
Fireflies
I know it‘ s late
I know that we should be a sleep right now
I know tomorrow comes too fast
But this is just the perfect moment we’ve been waiting for
So let tomorrow wait instead
I feel like sharing secrets
Name the echoes of my mind
And let the mystery unfold
Just like a chain of pearls
A bridge is built by each and every word
And the unsaid floats in between us
Like a million fireflies
They are spinning around in circles
Teaching our hearts to bounce
Golden fireworks as it darkles
Cheering without a sound
We are holding our breath as we’re dancing
Feeling this power overwhelming
The beautifying love
You know I’m yours
You know I want to share my days with you
But what theyll hold is just a guess
And when the thrill is gone
Eventually we’ll see that none is perfect
And sometimes life’s a mess
Let’s never settle with remembering the heat we felt
Let’s never seize to feed the fire
A word of love is like a pearl
A touch is like a glow
And the unsaid floats in between us
Like a million fireflies
They are spinning around in circles
Teaching our hearts to bounce
Golden fireworks as it darkles
Cheering without a sound
We are holding our breath as we’re dancing
Feeling this power overwhelming
The beautifying love
Holding our breath
Alive and so blessed
Feeling this power
The beautifying love
