If It Be Your Will


If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

I Long to Hold Some Lady


I long to hold some lady
For my love is far away,
And will not come tomorrow
And was not here today.

There is no flesh so perfect
As on my lady's bone,
And yet it seems so distant
When I am all alone.

As though she were a masterpiece
In some castled town,
That pilgrims come to visit
And priests to copy down.

Alas, I cannot travel
To a love I have so deep
Or sleep too close beside
A love I want to keep.

But I long to hold some lady,
For flesh is warm and sweet.
Cold skeletons go marching
Each night beside my feet.

You Know Who I Am

If you should ever track me down
I will surrender there
and I will leave with you one broken man
whom I will teach you to repair.


I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be.
You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one.

Sometimes I need you naked,
sometimes I need you wild,
I need you to carry my children in
and I need you to kill a child.

Before the Night Ends



I close my eyes
To see the world
I close my eyes
So That it won't hurt
I'm sailing In a blue ocean
And flying Into your heart

I catch my breath
Under the full moon
A star that shines
So pleased To meet you
Maybe I'm Dreaming forever
I'd like To love right here

Before The night ends
And another New day turns
How I hold, How I hold on
And out of this Endless blue
Somehow I will find you
Before the night ends
Before the night ends
I made a choice
More Than a few times
To walk alone
It didn't end up so right
But I wanna go the distance
I'd like To love right here

Before The night ends
And another New day turns
How I hold, How I hold on
And out of this Endless blue
Somehow I will find you
Before The night ends
Before The night ends

Close my eyes
Ever got an end
Before The night ends
I hope I find you

Rainmaker

Que tienen tus ojos, gitana morena
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Hechizo de luna que me enloqueció
(engualarí, gualabú, olé, olé, loleilo)

What is in your eyes, brown skinned gypsy
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Moon spell that made me crazy

Catrenele timpului


"Iată un peisaj de stradă:
Vântul scutură un pom
Și petale-ncep să cadă
Lin pe suflete de om..."
Anonim


"Deși mai tuturor displace,
Ca ea nu-i alta pe pământ:
Când a promis un rău ca face,
Se tine sigur de cuvânt."
Alt anonim

"Întristarea ei adâncă
Poate de acolo vine:
Ca nu știe bine încă
Unde stă și lângă cine."
Același anonim

Un lucru-i cert ...

"Un lucru-i cert: el va fi as!
Nu știe cum și când și unde
Dar siguranța îl pătrunde
De la călcâie pân-la nas.

Gândind ca geniu-n sân ascunde
Mulți gură-cască au rămas...
Un lucru-i cert: el va fi as!
Nu știe cum și când și unde.

In capul lui netuns, neras
Ideile nu par s-abunde,
Dar la salut abia răspunde
Si-acutele-s frecvente-n glas.

Un lucru-i cert: el va fi as!"
Anonim
