Spirits






Is there anyone out there?

"Hueyatlan tetecuica auh

tlatoa totonametl in manic"


Which means something like

the sea that speaks with the voice

Of that who remains…


And who are its inhabitants?

It’s them , look!


Moon taboo

You Queen


Some steal lumps of its light

And then

The golden ones

Serve themselves from the

To them

Cold sun...


And they are standing

Standing


Not moving


Maybe dancing?


In a world apart

If they are elves

What are they?


They must live in

Anonymous desire


If they are angels

What are they?


They must sing

Only because

From heaven they fell down

Or from the sky...

Melancholy nights

Of queens

Elves

Angels

Who are at your right


Or your left


It all depends

Where they stole their light…

No conozco la canción pero si de duendes, ángeles y muchas cosas que no se ven pero que están, me gusta tu versión.
Que los ángeles te acompañen y te traigan luz, aunque vos la tenés y se ve.(en argentino lo siento mejor, vale?)
Besos:)

The part where you said, "You Queen" it was like you were talking to me. You know the "Queen" business...;-) it's forever in my head as associated with Dulce. And this is such a magical piece, filled with all of the stuff of dreams...

I love this line...

They must sing
Only because
From heaven they fell down

wonderful!

Dulçe ♥ said...

Yes my dear NEVINE!
You are so right. When I wrote QUEEN I could only think of you, and of when you read it (if you got to)--
I am glad we have this so subtle and sweet connection, my sweetest... :)

Thanks so much for these comments
You are all like that part of that golden light ,sweetly stolen from a sun that does not burn, but is cold- to them, yet it's as bright and warm as ever- to us!
hey I am not saying you are spirits? LOL

Although I must admit i believe that they are a positive 'thing' who/which are by our side only to protect us...(guardiean angels?)

;)
Hugs!
