Notes
The last verse of the song of love lost goes...
ìï My plant is uprooted. It falls into the stream
to be carried away. All my joy turns to sadness
ï Yet I would swim after it, if I would not drown,
to speak with my sweetheart--if only
one last time...
ïI send the streaming water instead,
flowing to the oceanís depth,
until it may find a petal or two
floating on the water here and there.î
---Translation from Hungarian by Zsusza
Love songs are often songs of the
soul longing for the True Inner Heart of Oneís Self.
Words in English
By a quiet stream grew a lovely plant
And its tall, thin stem grew a beautiful flower...
ïBy this lovely flower stood my darling sweetheart
Of whome there is no kinder man in the whole world
far and wide.
By the quiet stream my love has his garden
He plants many flowers into the soil of love.
ïOut of the far west comes a wild storm
which shatters all the sunlight and the flower garden
with a strong whirlwind.
ïMy plant is uprooted. It falls into the stream
to be carried away. All my joy turns to sadness
ïYet I would swim after it, if I would not drown,
to speak with my sweetheart--if only
one last time...
ïI send the streaming water instead,
flowing to the oceanís depth,
until it may find a petal or two
floating on the water here and there.
