Original text with translation
Emmylou Harris
Man is an island: sadly adrift
Wand’ring forever, while continents shift
He came out of nowhere, no shirt on his back
Armed for survival, no plan of attack…
He went to the mountain, he went to the sea;
He cried for protection, but begged to be free
He fell on that mountain, he drowned in the sea --
Blind to the order, death to the harmony
Nature’s his rival, nature’s his friend;
In the beginning there was no end
God is his island -- He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one…
Man is an island: sadly adrift
Wand’ring forever, while continents shift
God is his island -- He made the sun
Nature, mankind as one
God is his island -- He made the light!
Man on his island waits for the end of night
In the beginning there was no end…
