Don't know from whence it came.  I found that I can't just read it and figure
out what it says - I have to be listening and reading along.  I took the time
a few months back to listen and translate into English.  If anyone who owns the
record or tape (honor system here) would like the translated lyrics, I have them
on-line - just send me mail.
