गीत के बोल
What gleams on the ancient tree?
From a broken branch, the resin flows
Golden and sticky, down the bark it trails
A tiny insect touches the drop
Its little feet stick fast to the surface
The droplet falls to the forest ground
Sand and mud cover and shelter it
Ancient resin lies buried below
Sediment covers it: sand and mud
Through millions of years, it slowly hardens
And changes into amber
Seasons sweep over the hidden drop
Buried beneath, it stays protected
Not days, but millions of years pass by
Clear, hardened amber catches the light
Ancient resin lies buried below
Sediment covers it: sand and mud
Through millions of years, it slowly hardens
And changes into amber
Water reveals it but does not make it
Waves carry amber onto wet sand
A child lifts the old forest's golden trace
Ancient resin lies buried below
Sediment covers it: sand and mud
Through millions of years, it slowly hardens
It turns into amber, the forest's trace
