Analysis of voisin (neighbor)



voisin
 (neighbor)

elle joue les touches tintent
 avec les coups de ses doigts

la musique remplit la cour
 et je laisse laver sur moi
 transporté à l'napa
 vallée remplie de doux
 vignes de la vie gouttes
 humide d'une pluie de printemps
 les dieux ont envoyé en forme,
 dans leur sagesse pour bénir
 les fruits avec leur jus
 si doux et si âpre

comme son jeu
 apaiser moi

écoute je l'ai entendue
 réciter de la poésie
 parlant à elle-même
 énoncer mondes

je ne peux pas deviner à ses passions
 je peux sentir ses désirs
 me frapper subtilement
 entre les yeux

et à nouveau de temps
 transporté dans des mondes de plus de i
 Mesopotamia, Europa
 écoute dans sa doux musique
 et elle ne m'a jamais charge
 pour la balade

Neighbor
 (voisin)

She plays,
 The keys tinkle
 With the strokes,
 Of her fingers

The music fills the courtyard
  And I let it wash over me
  Transported to the Napa
  Valley filled with sweet
  Vines of life dripping
  Wet from a spring rain
  The Gods have sent fit
  In their wisdom to bless
  The fruit with their juices
  So sweet and yet so tart

Like her playing
  Soothe me

Eavesdropping I her
  recite poetry
  Speaking to herself
  Enunciating words
  I can't guess to Her passions
  I can feel her desires
  Hit me subtly
  Between the eyes

And I am again
  Transported to Worlds older than I
  Mesopotamia, Europa
  I fly in her sweet words
  And she never charges me
  for the ride
