The Secret Garden the Musical - Opening Lyrics


LILY:
Clusters of crocus,
Purple and gold.
Blankets of pansies, up from the cold.
Lilies and iris,
Safe from the chill.
Safe in my garden,
Snowdrops so still.

FAKIR:
Ah...
A'o jadu ke mausam.
A'o garmiyo ke din.
A'o mantra tantra yantra,
Us ki bimari, hata '0
Ah...
A'o jadu ke mausam.
A'o garmiyo ke din.
A'o mantra tantra yantra,
Us ki bimari, hata' 0.

CHILDREN'S VOICES:
Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Not so well, she said, see the lily's dead.
Pull it up and out you go.

Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Far too hot, she cried, see my rose has died.
Dig it up, and out you go.
Look around, look around, what do you see?
Plants in the ground, all are blind to thee.
Walk around, walk around, where will you go
Seeds in the earth, covered up with snow.
Mistress mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Oh it's dry, she wailed, see the iris failed,
Pull it up, and out you go.
Mistress mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
Had an early frost, now it's gone, it's lost.
Dig it up, you're out, you're up, you're out
You're up, you're out, you go...
