Lyric

Ticka-tacka, polon polon

Small sounds rolling in my hand

Pika pika, softly bright

Afternoon hums along the sand

Ton-ton, little shadows dance

Wooden keys and paper air

Koro koro, drifting time

Something warm is hiding there

Chiri chiri, thin and light

Dust of notes around my feet

Pata pata, folded wings

Quiet steps along the street

Rin rin, circles spread

Water rings in fading light

Pero pero, lazy hours

Melting into early night

Pon, pon, slowing down

The day learns how to sleep

Kalimba rings, a gentle loop

Soft vows I never keep

Ticka-tacka, polon polon

The rhythm breathes, then stays

Pika pika, dimming slow

Inside these small, uncounted days
