THE GENTLE THINGS

Days pass like shadows -
quietly or in dismay.
Let they pass!
I know by heart this wonderful dream whole.
And I remember the moment when I wake up.

I'll saddle a wind
on the blue planet.
I'll find the girl
in the blue garden.
I'll throw her a handful of music notes.
And she marveled that herself sing:

I do the gentle things.
I always do only gentle things.
Hey, Love!
Only with You [Love] -
and in honor of Your name [Love].
Only with You [Love] -
and in honor of Your name [Love].
Only with You [Love] - and for You [Love].

When tracery of shiver bloom
on the our skin
and a candle draw cuneiform
of all our caresses hour by hour
on the wall by game of the our shadows -
then I hear the music notes.

A someone invisible sings.
Oh! It will throw a thread for me!
It will permit me to grasp,
and will permit me to repeat
this music at least once!!

And the whole night I kiss and kiss him,
and endless waves beat in us as in the shore.
And the whole night I kiss and kiss him,
and I very afraid wake up.

The generations falls in the desert of dream
as the leaves in autumn day.
But eternally the spring comes
and with it one girl sings again:

I do the gentle things.
I always do only gentle things.
Hey, Love!
Only with You [Love] -
and in honor of Your name [Love].
Only with You [Love] -
and in honor of Your name [Love].
Only with You [Love] - and for You [Love].

A RACE WITH A WAVE

I'll fly away to Marseille or Athen,
And shall sing for fishermen only once,
And then dolphins will take me
To in their a shoal, as a member.
The choppy waters will dissolve
My earthly appearance
Which bored for me.
Then I acquire the freedom of
A race with a wave
Among the shoal of dolphins.

A race with a wave,
Sometimes under the sun,
Sometimes under the moon.
I will obey only
The call stellar shoals.
It what was formerly with me
Go away with each wave,
Because the dolphin
Does not know the word "Goodbye".

You do not wander
Along the desert banks,
Don't call, don't wait
And don't be sad.
We would have a common path,
If only you could become a dolphin.
You now have been flush with me,
The weightless and free,
Under immense firmament of sky,
Race with a wave with me -
If you have enter in these waters.

A race with a wave,
Sometimes under the sun,
Sometimes under the moon.
I no longer need to choose, I know the way.
It what was formerly with me
Go away with each wave,
Because the dolphin
Does not know the word "Forget".

I give everything -
Memory, passion, hope, inspiration,
Thousands of harmonies, caresses and books -
for a this moment, a very long moment.
The crowns of these stone pines will be worship
To the sun and the winds eternally.
I shall be a dolphin forever.
I always shall be
Play the tig with Endless
In the blue sea.

A race with a wave,
Sometimes under the sun,
Sometimes under the moon.
I do not need anyone,
and I pity nothing.
It what was formerly with me
Go away with each wave,
Because the dolphin
Does not know the word "Sadness".

A race with a wave,
Sometimes under the sun,
Sometimes under the moon.
I do not need anyone,
and I pity nothing.
It what will be next to me
Comes with each wave,
Because the dolphin
Does not know the word "Sadness".

BE ALIVE AGAIN

My darling, if you wound my heart,
My heart will have nowhere to go.
It have nowhere to go, except to go in the song:
In the life everything is bad,
But in the song everything is wonderful.


If you wound my heart like this,
And you glance beckoned me, and after fooled me,
And strike with help of short phrase as knife -
Then Heart crying - because it is alive.

My Heart - cry,
If you thaw from love as ice.
My Heart - cry,
These tears sweeter than honey for me.
How could I renunciate from love forever?
My Heart - crying, endure,
Hope and be alive again,
My Heart - be alive again.

If here and so the Heart to cry,
I this tears hide in music notes.
Droplets of pain, droplets of light,
I give you to drink this music.

My Heart was calm and ease,
No one could make its such pain.
You came, and now I'm burning, crying,
But I bless this fire.

My Heart - cry,
If you thaw from love as ice.
My Heart - cry,
These tears sweeter than honey for me.
How could I renunciate from love forever?
My Heart - crying, endure,
Hope and be alive again,
My Heart be alive again.

I all for nothing kept my rest in during some years,
I all for nothing erected my ice palace:
At the small moment it is melted
And broken down the fortress,
Now I have no any defend against you.

You will smile - all as in a fog.
Let you beckon me, let you be fooled me.
We will together or we will not together,
But I catch you in the my song forever.

My Heart - cry,
If you thaw from love as ice.
My Heart - cry,
These tears sweeter than honey for me.
How could I renunciate from love forever?
My Heart - crying, endure,
Hope and be alive again,
My Heart be alive again. Be alive!
