I think it was, "the best planned leis ... require dinner, a movie, and some mood lighting."

the foggiest notion of what the hell it means!

It's a song about unrequited love. Essentially the troubador is saying that neither the First of May nor the beech trees nor the singing birds can make up for the fact that I am totally devoted to you and hopelessly in love and you don't even know I exist.

VORFRÜHLING

Es läuft der Frühlingswind
Durch kahle Alleen,
Seltsame Dinge sind
In seinem Wehn.

langue d'oc
Dunno off hand, Max. I could check. I've got it on LP sommers. Course it'd be nice to hear Anne Azéma do it under the auspices of Joel Cohen. Oh, I spose its gotta be a guy does it, but she does have a way with a lyric. Onliest person I ever heard do ich was ein chind without making it sound as though it were just a simple song of dalliance.

Mood? Is this the past perfect tense of moo? Well, if you want to get it on with a cow, go for it! Be sure to put a string of flowers around her neck first!
