The Phantom Light
Look, I walk beneath the sky:
A black night, void of stars,
Far from Alcor, far from Mizar,
Far from Ursa Major.
From the moment I saw you,
I navigate without the stars.
It happened during a global revelry:
I rested from the din and stress
In the café of youth--
Heart of ice--
But suddenly you were beside me,
Your beauty unparalleled.
The phantom light
Shone in the night like the sun;
The phantom light:
It blinded me,
Drove me mad.
I can think no longer.
I see nothing but you.
A lonely night for a lonely heart:
In your bosom, all agony is forgotten.
Beyond prudence and years
You touch me without fear,
But now you are far away.
I will wait till the new year.
The phantom light
Shone in the night like the sun;
The phantom light:
It blinded me.
The phantom light
Shone in the night like the sun;
The phantom light:
It blinded me,
Drove me mad.
I can think no longer.
I see nothing but you.
Look, I walk beneath the sky:
A black night, void of stars,
Far from Alcor, far from Mizar,
Far from Ursa Major.
