Minstrel, tell us a story make it be a long one
Tell us about the people of the ages
Describe One Thousand and One Nights
Of Linga the daughter of the sages
And about the Sultan's son
Tell us again the story
Send us to a world apart
Tell us again the story
That resonates with the one in our heart
Tell us and forget that we are old
In your mind, consider us new
Portray paradise. depict damnation
And about a bird that never flew
So, teach us the meaning of life
Minstrel, recite just like they've told you
Nothing more, nothing less
Your thoughts are like our rhyme
Narrate our world to help us forget
Transport us to once upon a time
As a songwriter I am interested in creating translations that convey some of the same poetic power in english, not in literal translation. I did not translate from the original language, I re-worded the other english translations. The sound of this song stuns me with it's beauty.
