about

Adapted and translated from Charles Baudelaire by Azita Youssefi

lyrics

Tonight the moon dreams more languidly
Like a beauty upon lots of pillows
With a light and absent hand tracing
The curve of her breast as she falls asleep

On the satin back of soft avalanches
Dying she surrenders in long swoons
And her eyes wander over white visions
That rise like blossoms into the blue

Once in a while in her laziness
She lets go of a clandestine tear
A pious poet, enemy of sleep

Takes the pale tear in the palm of his hand
Shimmery like a piece of opal
And puts it in his heart away from the eyes of the sun
