TÉNÉRÉ DAFÉD NICHAN

I´m in a desert with a wood fire
I´m keeping the night company
With its shooting stars
Life
Theses traces that cries memories
I remember and I settle down
Deep in nostalgia
My head resting in a pillow of woes
Tonight I sleep in the ruins
I follow the traces of my past
It sometimes befalls me to live like this
My heart oppresed and tight
And I feel the thirst of my soul
Then I hear some music
Sounds, the wind
Some music that takes me far, far away
To clear light of morning
Where before my heart
The brilliance of stars goes out
