paroles de chanson Firefly - James Talk

Sound is not the only way of communicating at night. When the sun goes
Down here on the tidal rivers of Malaysia, the trees on the banks
Become alive with animals communicating with light. At first, there
Are just a few twinkles in the branches. But about three quarters of
An hour after sunset, the show begins. These are fireflies, thousands
And thousands of tiny beetles only about five millimetres long, each
Sending a message in morse code with a lantern in its abdomen. All
The males that are flashing are males, and their message of course is
Directed to the females and it's very simple: "Come hither, mate."
This particular species, as well as one or two others here
In this area, reinforce their message to make sure that
It's sent the farthest possible distance by all flashing at
A time together, under the same roof. The result is that
Even after I've drifted many yards down the river, looking
Back I can still see the tree from the height of my person
