Luke's Songs Vol.1

[Preface]

I, Luke of Izlude, greatest of Bards in my time, leave the lyrics of my essential songs for posterity.

[Wedding Song]

Prontera Sanctuary

Is where all are heading

To celebrate your union

At your most happy wedding.

With joy I strum my Lute

As that is my trade

To bring cheerful song

To your wedding parade.

For my songs, pay me

Not Zeny or Gold,

But the smile of the

Bride, if I may

be so bold.

The glistening eyes

Of a beautiful lass

Those lustrous locks

And that firm, supple--

Forgive me, groom!

But she's just so beautiful!

May your union be blessed!

Er, may your wife be dutiful.

[Luke's Note]

This song is about a certain Bard who was invited to a wedding ceremony and could not resist the bride's beauty. He ended up singing a song of seduction.

The lyrics, of course, are fictional, and are in no way anecdotal.

[Life is a Water Mill]

I chased after fame.

It eluded me.

I ran after happiness

But never caught it.

But tomorrow will still

Be there, I'm sure.

Like the Water Mill

In Al De Baran

Which turns as

Life goes on.

Cheer up! Life goes on.

As surely as the Water

Mill turns, tomorrow

Will come.

This song was

made to give comfort

to people in despair.

[We]

A good Bard sings

To please his listener.

So do not expect a sad song

That deepens your anguish.

A good Dancer dances

To please her audience.

Shall we dance together?

Just hold my hands.

La la la~ La la la~

Towner: 'Then why the hell do you guys make discords sometimes?!'

Bard: 'Well... Nobody's perfect!

This song is good to be sung during festivals, as the intentional discord encourages the audience to participate. Aside from that, this song is pretty meaningless.
