Zambra - Winter Charm of Lasting Life
White the sheep that gave the wool
Green the pastures where they fed
Blue and scarlet side by side
Bless the warp and bless the thread
May the charm of lasting life
Be upon your flocks in full
From the hill where they rest
May they rise both whole and well
Bless the man who wears this cloth
May he wounded never be
From the bitter cold and frost
May this cloth protection be
Bless the children warmed within
Three times three our love enfold
Peace and plenty may they find
May they grow both wise and bold
Now is waulked the web we've spun
Winter storms may rage in vain
Bless the work by which we won
Comfort from the wind and rain
White the sheep that gave the wool
Green the pastures where they fed
Blue and scarlet side by side
Bless the warp and bless the thread
