ΣΤΗ ΧΩΡΑ ΤΩΝ ΟΝΕΙΡΟΦΑΓΩΝ

ΣΤΗ ΧΩΡΑ ΤΩΝ ΟΝΕΙΡΟΦΑΓΩΝ

Κάτω από έναν ουρανό χαράς
Ζουν οι ονειροφάγοι

Γύρω τους στις πρεπούμενες αποστάσεις
Μέσα σε μεγάλους κύβους σιωπής
Αρχειοθετούνται φυτικές φυσιογνωμίες
Κι έρωτες αδρανείς

Με το άναμμα των φώτων
Μετατοπίζεται το κέντρο βάρους
Κι αρχίζουν πάλι αδιακρίτως να προσποιούνται

ΚΛΕΙΤΟΣ ΚΥΡΟΥ (1921-2006),
"Τα πουλιά και η αφύπνιση", Νεφέλη, 1987

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright

I was the one who looked so hard I could not see.
Now I could never live without the love you give to me.

I lived like a wild and lonely soul,
Lost in a dream beyond control.
You were the one who brought me home down to earth.

For you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I'd see come true
You are the tiger burning bright.
