Genesis
Fountain of Salmacis
Karaoké par Pilaf
http://pilafmania.xooit.fr
From a dense forest
of tall dark pine wood,
Mount Ida rises like an island.
Within a hidden cave
nymphs had kept a child;
Hermaphroditus
son of gods,
so afraid of their love.
As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe ~
In desire for conquest,
He found himself within
a glade he'd not beheld before.
"Where are you, my father? ~
Give wisdom to your son"
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquility
"The waters are disturbed ~ ~
Some creature has been stirred"
As he rushed to quench his thirst,
A fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath brushed
through the cool mist,
A liquid voice called
"Son of gods
come drink from my spring".
The water tasted strangely sweet.
Behind him the voice called again.
He turned and saw her
in a cloak of mist alone
And as he gazed
her eyes were filled with
the darkness of the lake.
"We shall ~ ~ be one ~ ~
We shall be joined as one"
"Away from me cold blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine"
"Nothing will cause us to part
Hear me, O Gods"
Unearthly calm descended from the sky
And then their flesh and bones
were strangely merged
Forever to be joined as one
The creature crawled into the lake.
A fading voice~~ was heard:
"And I beg, yes I beg
that all who touch this spring
May share my fate ~"
"We are ~ ~ the one ~ ~
We are ~ ~ the one~"
Both had given everything they had.
A lover's dream
had been fulfilled at last,
Forever still beneath the lake. |
