Can you hear the hills, Maravelo?
There was a night long ago when the sky was just as wide.
By the fire’s glow, Maravelo,
0:32
You were humming quiet tunes while your fingers danced along the strings.
I remember distant calls,
The echo of the valley drums rolling through the pines beyond the ridge.
Verse 2
They were growing near, Maravelo.
Every heartbeat felt like hours stretching out beyond the dawn.
I was trembling then, Maravelo.
We were young and full of courage, though we barely understood the cost.
And I still confess today,
The thunder of the rifles shook the world beneath our feet that night.
Chorus
There was magic in the wind that night,
The sky so bright, Maravelo.
Every star seemed lit for you and me,
For hope set free, Maravelo.
Though we never dreamed that we could fall,
I feel no debt.
If time would circle back again,
I’d stand with you, Maravelo.
Yes, if the wheel would turn again,
I’d walk with you, Maravelo.
Verse 3
Now our hair is grey, Maravelo.
All these years have passed and I’ve not seen a weapon in your hand.
Can you hear the hills, Maravelo?
Do you still recall that trembling night we crossed the borderland?
I can read it in your smile—
The pride you carried fighting for the freedom of this rugged place.
Chorus
There was magic in the wind that night,
The sky so bright, Maravelo.
Every star seemed lit for you and me,
For hope set free, Maravelo.
Though we never dreamed that we could fall,
I feel no debt.
If time would circle back again,
I’d stand with you, Maravelo.
Yes, if the wheel would turn again,
I’d walk with you, Maravelo.
