So enthralled you are, so bewitched you are –
Once betrothed to the wind in the open fields,
And you spirit free: shackled, chained and barred,
My beloved, my lady, my light of day.
Not a merry laugh, not a bitter tear…
Down you came from the sky full of darkened clouds,
It’s your soul’s song that I always hear,
You’re the guiding star of my reckless love.
To your knees I shall bend with a fierce embrace,
To my knees I shall fall in a passion’s whirl,
And my tears, my verses, my tender ways –
They will blaze up your soul, my darling girl.
That which lives – will live, that which dies – will die,
What comes not to pass, passes soon away,
Tell me, Beautiful, tell me, oh, why you cry,
Or perhaps a mirage in the air sways…
