Bilingual
It's getting on time to plant
Under the conquering sun
We were willing to a man
Under the conquering sun
But for the sounds of the whip-poor-will
And what is to occur
Night is a ways off still
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Working the fugitive dust
Under the conquering sun
Nature, please be good to us
Under the conquering sun
But with the sounds of the whip-poor-will
And what is to occur
Night, the quickening thrill
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Ooh, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooh, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Sound of the whip-poor-will
Of what is to occur
Night, the quickening thrill
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Ooh, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooh, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooh, conquering sun, night is the glue
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Night is the glue
