EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
TURN+, SPIRIT REALLY-WANT
ASSEMBLE CONTACT NIGHT.
COLOR DIVERSE DISSOLVE.
BLACK SHAPE MAGNIFYING.
NIGHT DARK"step by step".
TELL-STORY ANCIENT,
COLD SURROUND INSPIRE.
LIGHT MEANING BIG-QUESTION.
BURNING EMPASIZE NIGHT.
Notes: TURN - (2h)[1], POs > signer, circle around each other.
REALLY-WANT - WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.
ASSEMBLE - (2h)[S], POs down, FOs ><, move > each other while opening to (2h)[5wg].
CONTACT - (2h)[open 8] touch middle fingers.
DIVERSE - (2h)[5], POs down, FTs overlap. Hands separate with wg.
MAGNIFYING - (2h)[5:], POs ><, FOs away, separate in upward arcs.
ANCIENT - [S], PO > signer, FO away, descends from chin with a wavy motion.
SURROUND - [5], PO down, FO away, circles above NDH [1], PO > DS, FO up.
BIG-QUESTION - like the sign QUESTION-MARK but both hands and all fingers (not the thumb) form a symmetric shape that is a question mark in the right hand and a reversed question mark in the left hand.
Lyrics:
Turning turning spirits yearning
Reaching for the night.
Colors going,
shadows growing,
Darkening the night.
Ancient story told,
renewed with the cold.
Mystery of light,
burnt into the night.
