Pretty ladybug,

V6

​(Intro: Soft and airy acoustic guitar arpeggio) ​[Verse 1] Pretty ladybug, Frail young lady, With your graceful flight, With your subtle flight, You are grace itself Upon the lush green grass, You are the beautiful red spot. ​[Verse 2] Pretty poppy, Frail little flower, You cover the meadows With a flamboyant carpet, You color the fields, You dance with the wind, You are the beautiful red spot. ​🌸 [Chorus] Red like the thread of fate, A spark in the palm of the hand, From the earth to the depth of our veins, Life beating, gentle and sovereign. Spot of light, breath and mystery, Red is the color of the earth. ​[Verse 3] Precious and sublime ruby, You, the jewel of a lifetime, You shine with a thousand fires, You illuminate the eyes, You radiate the light, You dazzle the Earth, You are the beautiful red spot. ​[Verse 4] (Musical swell, entry of the cello) You are the sap, you are life, In the veins you run away, You pulse, you travel through, More precious than a ruby, It is you who gives life, You are the drop of blood, You are the spot of the living. ​🌸 [Chorus] Red like the thread of fate, A spark in the palm of the hand, From the earth to the depth of our veins, Life beating, gentle and sovereign. Spot of light, breath and mystery, Red is the color of the earth. ​[Outro] (Slowing tempo, more intimate voice) Beautiful red ladybug, Pretty red poppy, Precious red ruby, Just a drop of blood, An imperial red spark, So many red spots, So many spots of blood, So many spots of life... ​(Final: The last guitar notes fade out softly on a slow heartbeat.)
