lyrics

My Life had stood– a Loaded Gun
In Corners– till a Day
The Owner passed– identified
And carried Me away

And now We roam in Sovereign Woods
And now We hunt the Doe
And every time I speak for Him
The Mountains straight reply

--------------------------------------
And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through

And when at Night– Our good Day done
I guard My Master's Head
'Tis better than the Eider-Duck's
Deep Pillow– to have shared

To foe of His– I'm deadly foe
None stir the second time
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye
Or an emphatic Thumb

Though I than He– may longer live
He longer must– than I
For I have but the power to kill
Without–the power to die
---------------------------------


Mi vida se había parado- un Arma Cargada-
en los Rincones- hasta que un día
el Dueño pasó- me identificó-
y me llevó lejos-

Y ahora vagamos por Bosques Soberanos -
y ahora cazamos a la Cierva-
y cada vez que hablo por él-
las Montañas contestan diligentes-

--------------------------------------
Y sonrío, tal luz cordial
sobre el resplandor del valle-
es como si una cara Vesuviana
hubiera dejado su voluntad a su paso-

Y cuando en la noche- acabado nuestro buen día -
guardo la cabeza de mi amo-
Es mejor que haber compartido
la profunda almohada de plumón-

De Su enemigo - soy enemigo mortal-
ninguno se agita por segunda vez-
en quién pongo un ojo amarillo-
o un pulgar enfático-

Aunque Yo así como él - podamos vivir largamente
él debe vivir más -que Yo-
porque yo tengo el poder de matar,
Sin -el poder de morir-

POETRONIKA - Poetry meets Music
An array of poetic lyrics from some of the most celebrated poets, coupling with inebriated rhythms, melodic sequences, analog timbres, and multilingual voices makes of POETRONIKA an ever-evolving artistic project. Inspired by a Nouveau Disco aesthetics and baroque brass resonances: POETRONKA puts poetry fore front, while alternative electronic music does the rest. ... more
