May you not give birth to monsters.
May your children not have the haunchesof a pig.
May your pigs not have hornsfrom highland cows.
May your salmon be wild and your prawns unfarmed.
May your goats be purebred
and your cotton, white gold.
May you bloom and grow
bloom and grow
and may you know when to stop.
May your children not have the haunchesof a pig.
May your pigs not have hornsfrom highland cows.
May your salmon be wild and your prawns unfarmed.
May your goats be purebred
and your cotton, white gold.
May you bloom and grow
bloom and grow
and may you know when to stop.
