Not exactly a repost.
The song itself may be found in the Media section, for those of you who care.
I hope you like it.
I'll post the words here, since the formatting capability in the media section is not very good.

Because it is beautiful.
The Song, the Poem of the day
"Coloured Toys"
The words follow; the music is in my media.
* * *
I understand why there is such a play of colours on clouds,
on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints
---when I give colored toys to you,
my child.
When I sing to make you dance
I truly now why there is music in leaves,
and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth
---when I sing to make you dance.
When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands
I know why there is honey in the cup of the flowers
and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice
---when I bring sweet things to your greedy hands.
When I kiss your face to make you smile, my darling,
I surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light,
and what delight that is
that is which the summer breeze brings to my body
---when I kiss you to make you smile.
sweet things
to your greedy
hands.
Arranged: Double String Quartet, Voice and Violon Solo.
Poem: Sir Rabindranath Tagore
