La rose des vents [A rose in the wind] [English translation]
La rose des vents [A rose in the wind] [English translation]
I was born upside down
On the other side of the sea
In an open lotus
In Shiva's arms*
Far away from your home
I grew up and dreamt
Of the orchid land
Of the red, golden masks
Whose mark on my soul
Is as strong as your charms
And I followed the singing of my veins
As far as where your steps lead me
I turned the wind rose toward your plains
So hard that it makes me bleed sometimes
Far away from my home
I came to know the place you occupy
Cold season after cold season
Our hearts on the surface
In the north of my laws
Farther in the north than you think
I want to take you out there
Walk with our heads upside down
Greet Ganesha**
Upon the live embers
Of my emerald green dreams
And I followed the singing of my veins
As far as where your steps lead me
I turned the wind rose toward your plains
So hard it makes me bleed sometimes
I released the wind rose to get signs from you
And I can feel its thorns on me
On me...
And yes, I'm confident
In the arrows drawn by the swallows
In the bewitchings cast on me by the elves
In the name of your voice
Wherever you are
I shall always call
To the Southern Cross*** for help
When my turn comes to be
The wind rose
Leading the lovers
Yes, I followed the singing of my veins
As far as where your steps lead me
I shall be the wind rose, perfuming
This day and the moons of your life
In my place
In my place
