The darkening sky just celebrates
The night of the Halloween,
And today humans and spirits will meet,
Some seen, others unseen.
And the wind will alternate its long fingers,
And blow its breath in the holes of the flutes,
The sky will be a page of musical thunders,
And many trees will come out of their roots.
But the yellow haggard moon looks like an ancient man,
Shining big up there in the black background,
And when you look up at the shimmering stars,
A mist a vapor seems to be all around.
But the human children and the spirits come out,
And ring doorbells together tonight,
For this night humans and spirits do meet,
Tonight on the Halloween night.
