Aire de música [English translation]

Amongst memories which

you cut out without knowing why

those delicate hands

which sometimes cross boundaries

will write about you,

about your Nordic landscapes,

about those magical stories

which are now coming back to me

and leading me to you.

Now I know

your image is

first and last

a cover1 which I

drew for you.

Endless waves which

break upon my soul,

how can I fail to feel

the weight of the tears

which will drench mine.

Your life is also mine

and your silence will shine

like a moon on the sea,

we are one, you and I.

Now I know

your image is

first and last

the clouds I will ride on,

a breath of music,

you will always be what I came from.

Mother, surprise me,

I will create the image you want.

Now I know

your image is

first and last

the clouds I will ride on,

a breath of music...

Mother, surprise me,

I will create the image you want.
