This is the oldest known complete song with words and music, from around 2000
years ago. It was inscribed on a greek grave marker by seikilos to commemorate
his wife, Euterpe. these are the lyrics, music performed by the parlour bards.
As long as you live, be joyful
let nothing grieve you unduly
for life is short
and time takes its toll
