Toccata
Albert Kuvezin and Yat-Kha Lyrics

Oh, the summer time is coming,
The arrival of summer is imminent and with it comes a promise of something new and exciting.

And the trees are sweetly blooming,
The trees are adorned with beautiful flowers that emit an intoxicating fragrance.

And the wild mountain thyme
A reference to an herbaceous perennial plant that typically grows on mountain slopes, with leaves that have a sweet, earthy aroma.

Grows around the purple heather.
The thyme has found its home amongst the purple heather that grows on the mountainside.

Will you go, lassie, will you go?
A question asked of a female companion to join on a journey to explore the beauty of nature.

And we'll all go together
The desire to embark on this adventure with like-minded individuals who share a love for nature's beauty.

To pull wild mountain thyme
The act of collecting the thyme that grows on the mountain slopes, pulling them out by the roots to preserve their essence.

All around the purple heather,
To journey through the mountain ranges, mesmerized by the beauty of nature that is all around us.

I will build my love a bower
The deep affection towards a special someone and the commitment to build a special place to share with them.

By yon clear and crystal fountain,
A reference to a nearby spring that is crystalline and pure, suitable for setting up a peaceful and romantic environment.

And all around the bower,
Everything surrounding the bower will be carefully arranged to create a peaceful and harmonic setting.

I'll pile flowers from the mountain.
The intention to accumulate an abundance of wild flowers from the mountains to adorn the bower's surroundings.

If my true love, she won't have me,
The fear of rejection from the one you love and the uncertainty of their feelings toward you.

I will surely find another
The will to move on and find new love if the first one doesn't reciprocate your affection.

To pull wild mountain thyme
To remain steadfast in the appreciation of nature and its beauty despite the ups and downs of love.

All around the blooming heather.
To continue on the journey of exploration and admiration of all that is around us, even if the path becomes challenging.

Will you go, lassie, go?
A question asked again, reiterating the desire to share this beautiful journey with a female companion.

And we'll all go together
The affirmation of the bond between individuals who share a common love for nature and its offerings.

To pull wild mountain thyme
The drive to explore and gather new experiences, memories, and interactions with nature that can be cherished for a lifetime.

All around the purple heather,
A reminder of the vast beauty that surrounds us, a tribute to the amazing display of colors, scents, and life that fills our mountains.

Will you go, lassie, go?
A final call to action to make the most of the present moment and create lasting memories exploring nature's landscapes with someone special.

Will you go, lassie, go?
An echo of the initial question, emphasizing the importance of human connection and shared experiences on this journey of discovery.

Will you go, lassie, go?
A final invitation to join the adventure, embarking on a journey that will create unforgettable moments and memories.
