Love Song
song of the Yurok Indians
performed by Frank A. Douglas
from Songs of Love, Luck, Animals & Magic
Love songs are affective songs performed to make someone fall in love with or come back to the singer. They are considered "lucky" songs. Frank Douglas translated this one:
Come crossways, you look.
Come a-tearing crossways.
Glad to get back to his sweetheart.
Douglas sings the song through five times, beginning very loud on a high pitch and decreasing his volume as the melody descends the scale. His voice has remarkable flexibility and power for an eighty-four-year old.
