DEAF MOUNTAIN LION

Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.
Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.

Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.
Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.

Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.
Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.

Over there, I, in the center
of the flower-covered wilderness,
the animal of this enchanted wilderness grove,
I want to hear, as I am walking
Like a ho’opo, nodding as I am walking,
I have ears to the wilderness, as I am walking.
