 Paroles de la chanson "Incantations Part 3"
INCANTATIONS PART III
"The song of the evening star"
Can it be the sun descending
O’er the level plain of water?
Or the Red Swan floating, flying,
Wounded by the magic arrow,
Staining all the waves with crimson,
With the crimson of its life-blood,
Filling all the air with splendor,
Filling the air with plumage?
Yes, it is the sun descending,
Sinking down into the water;
All the sky is stained with purple,
All the water flushed with crisom!
No, it is the Red Swan floating,
Dining down beneath the water;
To the sky it wings are lifted,
With its blood yhe waves are reddened!
Over it the Star of Evening
Melts and trembles through the purple,
Hangs suspended in the twilight,
walks in silence through the heavens. |
