Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού
Blue Tears
Let me not forget the blue tears of my nagging mother
My father,
an endless generosity; unmeasured are his blue feelings for all underneath
Am the vocalist, the courier of their dreams
In thousand eyes of my landladies, I see, in gloom and glee
The same bubbles of fantasy
Nameless beauties, sweet fragrances pining for love and care
Gracefully turning heads to firm,
green gentlemen, unmindful are the rocky lovers, cold and stiff
Granny through the holes of her muddy blanket sees the whole
Black bee, the vocalist knows the dreams of all
In this grand opera,
the dream children are playing their roles
Listen to my monotonous singing, me,
the black corollary of human wishes, intervening…
I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME
You were frozen for centuries until you opened your eyes to my dark shades
Water drips from your hair like tiny droplets from a child’s nose and lips
Once mother kisses him,
a fossil came back to life
I, princess cloud over the mountain,
you my only lover mad
in ecstasy
Waited a whole life to touch your soul mate.
My naked beauty
simple, slim, silvery Alakananda, made a beast of you
Nettled by dark undercurrent of passion,
you spent hundred years by my side
Unquenchable was thy thirst
Wanton nymphs riding the waves drench your limbs in blue ardor
I needed you, you needed me the woman, came to you
I am your queen and you have not understood it
for ages my dear king
Now I know you will know the truth that
You are me and I am you.
