Марко Поло - Авалон










Avalon

Don't look for the king in the fragments of legends.
His dream is guarded by the Earth
And those forces which are older than the legends of Britain
And which can call even stones back to their roots.

Don't look for the king on the Scottish mountains,
Where the wind is walking on two seas.
Don't look for him among the Irish myths and Welsh castles,
Where fairy tales are kept more carefully than gold.

He will raise his strict gaze only at the dawn of new times.


refrain:

Avalon! Avalon! This is the island of blissful people.
Avalon! Avalon! This is the tower of time.
Kind dream or true hidden in the mists of Albion.
Avalon! Avalon! This is the tower of time.



Don't look for ancient secrets who wish to be forgotten.
Don't wish to destroy the bridge between the rivers of time.
In this eternal chain there are only the necessary links.
And let among them peacefully sleep Avalon.

Don't look for the king whose fate is to be a legend,
Whose path is a beacon for millions of roads.
And by embarking on a path that has not yet been learned,
You maybe find its light.

He will raise his strict gaze only at the dawn of new times.


refrain:
