Bonfire

Night 
Falls on the camp site
Moon 
Rises to the top of the sky 

Moon light
Pure and bright 
Shines generously on everyone 
Gives us cold comfort 

But at the camp site 
In this cold night 
We are shivering 
We are freezing 
We need bonfire 

We gather twigs from the woods 
Light up the fire 
Heavy smoke emerged from the damp wood 
We coughed and coughed 
But we need bonfire

We kneel down to the ground 
Blow hard into the smoke 
Tears drop from our eyes 
Sparks burn our faces 
But we need bonfire 

Finally, huge flames rise from the wood
It brightens our faces 
It warms our bodies 
It lightens our hearts 
It brings back laughter 

Huge flames
Dangerously close, dangerously hot 
But in a night when 
The moon is so distant and cold 
We need bonfire
