Kefir, keefir, or kephir (/kəˈfir/ kə-FEER), alternatively milk kefir, or búlgaros, is a fermented milk drink made with kefir "grains" (a yeast/bacterial fermentation starter) and has its origins in the north Caucasus Mountains. It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep milk with kefir grains. Traditional kefir was made in skin bags that were hung near a doorway; the bag would be knocked by anyone passing through the doorway to help keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed.
The word kefir, existing in the Russian language since at least 1884, is probably of North Caucasian origin, although some sources see a connection to Turkic köpür (foam). Kefir has become the most commonly used term, but may be known by other names in different geographic regions.
Kefir grains are a combination of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in a matrix of proteins, lipids, and sugars, and this symbiotic matrix, (or SCOBY) forms "grains" that resemble cauliflower. For this reason, a complex and highly variable community of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts can be found in these grains although some predominate; Lactobacillus species are always present. Even successive batches of kefir may differ due to factors such as the kefir grains rising out of the milk while fermenting, or curds forming around the grains, as well as room temperature.
Be my, be my baby
Yesterday, I was watching the turning tide, of a memories of a changing shore line
Otherwise, was nevermore. Life was different, you closed the door
Still in all my heart is true, there's no forgetting you, what can I do?
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Memories, change with every passing day, change with every word you stay
Lost in love without a trace, find myself, in a different place
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find a way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Now the flame is burning, but the fire is gone
This love that's haunting me, but I still push on
You touched controls, and they're moving me
And I can't break away, no.
Solo
Today, I sat and watched the setting sun, sit and think of only love,
A distance shore, a far away, restless heart so hard to tame
Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find you're way, come back to me
Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
Girl, don't you close your eyes and walk away
Let me down and just fade away, oh, girl.
Don't you feel those things you do, don't you feel those things you do to me,
Oh, yeah, I said girl, girl, yeah
What you've done, don't you feel those feelings there
