Stones are beautiful
Tall rocks
Stand still
Horizon earth - sky
Tall rocks
Stand still
Horizon earth - sky
Crêpes, cider, matelot
On a voyage we go
Direction who knows where
Pull the sails, moussaillon
A winter on earth
Small corner of the universe
Between ocean and sky
Hydromel memories
Small corner of the universe
Between ocean and sky
Hydromel memories
En français, ici.
And
here comes the hard part about translation. The poem was originally
written in french. The rhymes do work, but they get lost in the engles
translation. If words are music, we can never translate music. Music is
music, it is a language in itself. Such is math, such is any system
which tries to codify, to give an image to a thing, such is the function
of languages, "creation in order to subdue the torment of perception."
