Josephine Foster
the garden of earthly delights
Select language to translate this lyric
Brother, sisters,
Welcome to the garden
Of earthly delights
Of earthly delights
All things wither,
But here a drink from the garden of youth
Brings respite
To all men alike
Here autumn is not bitter
Thereâs no death in winter
Spring eclipses in her
All your suffering spite
And all is calm
All is quiet
Begin and end
In the gift of the night.
Mother, father
Come and spread your wings
In a limitless flight
A limitless flight
All things wither,
But here a drink from the garden of youth
Brings respite
To all men alike
Here autumn is not bitter
Thereâs no death in winter
Spring eclipses in her
All your suffering plight
And all is calm
All is quiet
Begin and end
In the gift of the night
