The bougainvillea flowers bloomed,
Up upon the water tower
Searching among the lost stars,
Up into the wrinkled sky
Nowhere to be,
No stories to read
And storks
Have taken the babies far away
Even your worst dreams,
I'll eat them all for you
Let the pain, pain, go away,
With calming song...
The bougainvillea flowers bloomed,
Up upon the water tower
The dawn looking like hydrangeas,
And the sleeping waterway clear
Trembling...
You're pretending not to listen
Dozing...
It just won't stop hurting you
The stories of your memories:
Tell them to me, in all the vagueness of their forms
I'll drink up even the darkness,
And let out a breath, a faint voice
Oh, while the outlines have been lost,
Here, a lullaby for you alone!
Even your worst dreams,
I'll eat them all for you,
As your tears pain me inside...
Even when, with all too much cruelty,
You're drowned by the night, stay at my side
This morning, we dreamt together;
A dream that frightened me to take in,
A pale dream that drank the light...
