IMPERIAL AGE - THE WAY IS THE AIM
lyrics by: Aor, Jane Odintsova

Once you are ready to follow your Way
Leave all attachments behind:
Whatever we lack at the end of the day
Is what lacks in our Minds.

Sail all through the night
The wind is blowing,
Nothing in the world is stopping:
We are free!
Take any Way you wish - there are no roads
In the Sea!

When the Wind fills your Sail
Providence is behind you!
No way to fail:
You're the light in the darkness!

In the Ocean of Time
Find your own Direction,
Follow the Signs,
In the end - the Way is the Aim.

Once you have found a Path of your own,
All things are helping you out.
Something is wrong? Check where you are -
It's a wrong place no doubt...

With the help of Destiny,
Walls go down.
But go against the tide -
And lose your crown.
There's nothing in the world that keeps you from
Your Way!

When the Wind fills your Sail
Providence is behind you!
No way to fail:
You're the light in the darkness!

In the Ocean of Time
Find your own Direction,
Follow the Signs,
In the end - the Way is the Aim!

[Orban89]

Perdi meus fantásticos castelos
Como névoa distante que se esfuma...
Quis vencer, quis lutar, quis defendê-los:
Quebrei as minhas lanças uma a uma!
Perdi minhas galeras entre os gelos
Que se afundaram sobre um mar de bruma...
- Tantos escolhos! Quem podia vê-los? –
Deitei-me ao mar e não salvei nenhuma!
Perdi a minha taça, o meu anel,
A minha cota de aço, o meu corcel,
Perdi meu elmo de ouro e pedrarias...
Sobem-me aos lábios súplicas estranhas...
Sobre o meu coração pesam montanhas...
Olho assombrada as minhas mãos vazias...


Florbela Espanca, "A Mensageira das Violetas"

[P44]

My love, you are my muse
And enticed me into song
I vanish into euphony to worlds far gone

I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?

Some might only hear a humming noise
But if you know just how to listen
I promise, you will hear my voice
I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you turn us into folklore?
Like the Muses used to do
I'll sing for you forevermore

I can hear the bluebells ring

I am pixy-led
And I might not ever come back
Oh, I might not ever come back
I am spellbound
And I do not want to be found
Oh, I do not want to be found

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you give me translucent wings?
And I will finish your song
When summer begins
