Mendelssohn , Lieder ohne worte , 3 Gondellieder [pf: Peter Nagy]

PJ Harvey, The Orange Monkey





A restlessness took hold my brain
And questions I could not hold back
An orange monkey on a chain
On a bleak uneven track
Told me that to understand
You must travel back time
I took a plane to a foreign land
And said, I'll write down what I find
Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves
Cloaked with snow and shadows sheer
Plates tipped up upon themselves
The pain of fifty million years
And mules and goats were running wild
A happy chaos carried on
And old men and the young boys smiled
And worked until the day was gone
The packs of sandy-coloured dogs
Walked streets that looked like building sites
But piles of rocks and dust and smog
Could not block out a different light
When I returned I ran to meet
The monkey, but his face had changed
He stood before me on two feet
The track was now a motorway

The Fureys, I Will Love You Ev'ry Time

Himno del Mundo, Raquel Jodorowsky

Estrellas de mar 
Cargadas con el fuego 
Del agua primordial 
Con su piel llena de cráteres 
Y púas de rojo amanecer 
Con lunares de sol negro 
Que palpitan. 

Carne de estrella viva 
Trozo de Era Fósil y esqueleto violeta 
Cinco brazos terminados en pies 
Que flotan como pétalos libres. 

Pongo dos estrellas 
Dos fragmentos de océanos rotos 
Sobre mis ojos 
Traspaso su misterio húmedo 
Flor de luz y dureza marina 
Así me encontrarán, varada 
Cubierta de estrellas de mar 
Cual diosa nómada del cosmos 
Que en el límite del mundo 
Se ha tendido a soñar
