[All hopes fall like autumn rain
in endless nights
Sorrow, wrath and consolation
are flickering candles in the dark]

I can change the course of things
like swans floating
on the water
or slowly rising in the sky

[loss, doubt and certainty,
cannot be measured here on earth]

I can change the course of things
like the shadows of the clouds
on the surface of the lake
changing all the time

We walk in dust
but we find music in desolation
We walk in darkness
but something shines in our tears
Our steps they reach
steps they reach immortal spheres
Our thoughts
are stars for lost men

[Now, I can see how the seasons
coming to an end,
The illusions like silent stones
beaten by the rain
mark the pathway of men]

[A tragic journey,
where winter follows winter
in the barren fields
death follows death
in the incessant comedy of time]

There are herons
where the children play
There are herons
where we hide our dreams
We hide snowflakes
and the waiting of spring
There are herons
where we hide our hopes

[Where winter follows winter
in the barren fields
death follows death
in the incessant comedy of time]

There are herons
where the children play
There are herons
where we hide our dreams
We hide snowflakes
and the waiting of spring
There are herons
where we hide our hopes

[Where winter follows winter
in the barren fields
Death follows death
in the incessant Comedy of Time]

There are herons
where the children play
There are herons
where we hide our dreams
We hide snowflakes
and the waiting of spring
There are herons
where we hide our hopes

Time has dragged your ship
in dark nights without dreams
where the birds do not sing
and the clouds are silent ghosts
Time has touched your heart
your memories lost in far cities
and your most beautiful words
…with a breath dispersed in dust

Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space
The morning never comes to chase the darkness away

Come into my arms, come into my arms
my caress is gentle as dew on the leaves
Come into my arms, find on my breast
the loving smile of your long lost mother

Always dreaming of a wind
to raise your worn sails
Always waiting for a wind
to return to your land
Always dreaming of a wind
to raise your worn sails
to return to your land

Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space
The morning never comes to chase the darkness away

Come into my arms come into my arms
my caress is gentle as dew on the leaves
Come into my arms, find on my breast
the loving smile of your long lost mother

You think I’m next to you
I’m not there
You see me laugh and cry
I’m not there

I know I’m a poet,
and lonely drifting
in nameless countries
like a sea bird

Death is hiding
in the daily life that
leads you home

Death is a long
and useless
waiting day

Death is the madness
of men’s
future hopes

But, my boat is sailing on the sea
on the ocean’s waves
follow my soul
in the fury of the storm

Death is a
long and useless
waiting day

Death is a girl
who only talks
about herself

Death is in things
Death is in mind
behind your back
in your daily path

Believe me, believe me, only chance
Only chance is in the storm

You think I’m next to you
I’m not there
You see me laugh and cry
I’m not there

Death is in things
Death is in mind
behind your back
is your daily path

Believe me, believe me, only chance
Only chance is in the storm

But, my boat is sailing on the sea
on the ocean’s waves
Follow my soul
in the fury of the storm

Death is in things
Death is in mind
Behind your back
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, only chance
Only chance is in the storm

Death is in things
Death is in mind
Behind your back
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, only chance
Only chance is in the storm

I’m lost in the clouds
surrounded by endless gates

I’m not cold, not in fear,
sky and stars dress my body

You… cannot reach me
Do not knock on my door

The words that you
never say to me
are now silent stones
in your heart

All will be changed by your slow steps
Like an eternal sea or autumnal sadness
Like a dark storm or winter’s loneliness

You’ll find windows on past seasons
to walk together
to walk together

And I ‘ll take you to the end of time
above the storms beyond all you see
Beyond the clouds we could fly
where the rainbow shines in the sky

Between the essence of wild roses
that men without regrets cannot sense
and we’ll walk again to the field’s end
where by chance willows sway

With every beginning
is everything that ends
is everything that ends

Do not cry, do not blame fate,
this is the eternal river’s flow

Do not regret lost chances
this is the eternal river’s flow

All will be changed by your silent steps,
like an eternal sea or autumnal sadness,
like a dark storm or winter’s loneliness.

You’ll find windows on past seasons
to walk together
to walk together

And I’ll take you to the end of time
above the storms beyond all you see.
Beyond the clouds we could fly
where the rainbow shines in the sky

And I’ll take you to the end of time
above the storms beyond all you see.
Beyond the clouds we could fly
where the rainbow shines in the sky

Sometimes I’m the moon shining along the river
Sometimes I’m the river carrying all away

If I walk among the stars, I see the loneliness
These are useless days of heedless and hidden men
The world has changed colours and buried the memories
The blue sky, green fields and the blue sea

Mother, Father and the childhood dreams
Mother, Father and the childhood dreams

Walk through the endless rain of time
Over empires that rise and fall

Walk with me on dark waters
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on life and death
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on all that flows
Walk like heroes

Over right, over wrong
on the wings of a deathless song
where dreams appear like the stars to sailors

Sometimes I’m the silence dominating the ocean floor
Sometimes I’m the ocean that turns into storm

If I walk among the stars, I see the misery
These men are hopelessly crushed by heaps of gold
The world has changed colours and buried the memories
The blue sky, green fields and the blue sea

Mother, Father and the childhood dreams
Mother, Father and the childhood dreams

Walk through the endless rain of time
Over empires that rise and fall
Walk with me on dark waters
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on life and death
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on all that flows
Walk like heroes

Over right, over wrong
on the wings of a deathless song
where dreams appear like the stars to sailors

Walk with me on dark waters
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on life and death
Walk like heroes

Light and darkness
dance with flames
Fortune and Fate driven
by the clash of iron
It’s time for new Gods
coming from the west

Oh, Carthage

This night will not open the day
The gates of time are closed for you

It’s not a time,
for ivory
nor a time for Iberia’s silver
In the breeze
your purple robes
do not flutter

The waves move against you
This world is falling down

Take me down silent paths
where the trees sway in the wind
Over the sea, over the clouds,
like a lonely bird

Take me down silent paths
where the trees sway in the wind
Over the sea, over the clouds,
like a lonely bird

This world is falling down
This world will burn forever

No more amber,
No more roses and jasmine,
No more illusions,
it’s not a time for dreams
No time for vanity or lovers

Oh, Carthage

No one hears your cry,
look at the stars how small they are.

It’s not a time,
for ivory
nor a time for Iberia’s silver
In the breeze
your purple robes
do not flutter

The waves move against you
This world is falling down

Take me down silent paths
where the trees sway in the wind
Over the sea, over the clouds,
like a lonely bird

Take me down silent paths
where the trees sway in the wind
Over the sea, over the clouds,
like a lonely bird

Here I stand on the edge,
looking at the blind man
searching his path
Here I stand on the edge,
like grains of sand
in the sea of time
An eternal dimension,
an endless broken hourglass
Like an elephant’s march
when the dance of time has begun

Perhaps it’s a bad omen
the flickering of the stars
Perhaps it’s a bad omen
sun’s path to the west
(Alexandria)
Everything that flourishes
everything that vanishes
everything that is timeless.
(Alexandria)
but forgotten forever

You’ll shine again
Alexandria
like the moon through the clouds
Alexandria
Alexandria
You’ll shine again
like the crowded chariot of the sun
that spreads the morning light
on the tears of lost men
on the vanity of kings

Like an evil shaman
the desert wind drives
from the sacred willows
ibis and Gods

City of a world
that builds and destroys
Lady of deceptions
Lady of illusions

Cross-roads of poetry
geometry and dust
City of eternal waiting
for everyone and no one

City of side streets
crossed in destiny

Perhaps it’s a bad omen
the flickering of the stars
Perhaps it’s a bad omen
sun’s path to the west
Everything that flourishes
everything that vanishes
everything that is timeless
but forgotten forever
You’ll shine again
like the moon through the clouds
Alexandria
Alexandria
You’ll shine again
like the crowded chariot of the sun
that spreads the morning light
on the tears of lost men
on the vanity of kings

Like an evil shaman
the desert wind drives
from the sacred willows
ibis and Gods

City of a world
that builds and destroys
Lady of deceptions
Lady of illusions

Cross-roads of poetry
geometry and dust
City of eternal waiting
for everyone and no one

City of side streets
crossed in destiny

Perhaps it’s a bad omen
the flickering of the stars
Perhaps it’s a bad omen
sun’s path to the west
Everything flourishes
everything vanishes
everything is timeless
but forgotten forever
