Edony (Clap Your Hands)

(álbum: Sur La Terre - 2002)

Edony was the name of an Egyptian princess.
A model of beauty, brilliance and perfect grace.
Once, she decided to arrange a party for a certain of her friends.

Edony, your hair is flooding like a golden rain.
Just clap your hands and I will come again.

Edony first saw a grocer
And bought from him dry food, share onions and all for a dessert.
She was talking in this rather stones and most refined lane.

Edony, I'll do anything to be your friend.
Just clap your hands and I will come again.

Edony then saw a perfumer
And took from him two lumps of sugar and orange flowers.
She was walking smoothly, her shoes paired with sugar.
Later on, the party was going on.
The guests were all chewing and applauding.
It led emergence of Thebes to the gates of the mansion.

Edony asked everybody to come on in.
The rumour of the festivies was heard all over Thebes.
This is how is born the word: hedonist.
