lyrics

I FOLLOW THE PATH LINED WITH ORANGE TREES
EVERYBODY IS STILL ASLEEP
AND THE TURTLES BASK IN THE SUN

HEDGES MADE OF ROCKS,
CACTI COVERED WITH SNAILS
IMMOBILE PASSENGERS

I STAND SMALL IN THE VALLEY
ON THE OLD DUST ROAD
THE FADING FACE OF THE BLACK BULL
AND THE GOATS WITH THEIR MOCKING BELLS

HEDGES MADE OF ROCKS,
CACTI COVERED WITH SNAILS
IMMOBILE PASSENGERS


HEDGES MADE OF ROCKS
CACTI COVERED WITH SNAILS
IMMOBILE PASSENGERS IN THEIR THORNY VESSELS.

TAWNY-COLOURED GRASS
TREE-SPOTTED MEADOW
GIANT CLIFFS ALL AROUND THIS ISOLATED HAVEN.

STONES ON THE CREST
LIKE TEETH ON AN OLD JAW.
BENAOCAZ, I CAN WALK BACK, ANCIENT MAJESTY.

I HAVE GREETED HER ANCESTRAL MAJESTY.
_____________________________________________

Je longe l’allée bordée d’orangers
Tout le monde dort encore
Et les tortues se prélassent au soleil

Des haies de pierres
Des cactus couverts d’escargots
Passagers immobiles…

Je me tiens, minuscule, dans la vallée
Sur la vieille route poussiéreuse
La tête du taureau noir s’estompe
Et les chèvres portent des cloches moqueuses

Des haies de pierres
Des cactus couverts d’escargots
Passagers immobiles…

Des haies de pierres
Des cactus couverts d’escargots
Passagers immobiles sur leurs vaisseaux hérissés

L’herbe aux teintes fauves
Le pré boutonné d’arbres
D’immenses falaises enserrent ce havre isolé

Des rochers sur la crête
Sont comme les dents d’une vieille mâchoire
Benaocaz, je peux m’en retourner, antique majesté

J’ai salué votre antique majesté
