A tale of three people in love and living together
|
I did hear a poet singing
Upon a sun, upon a meadow
Set sail his wish, upon a rise
Entrusting me to hear it well, ring my bell!
Ring it loudly, fill your ears
The poet’s wish…Hostello, Tangiers
Take me, take me to, take me to
Hostello, Tangiers
I did see a painter’s dreaming
Flee with the tide, to Africa
Free with his brush, to borrowed parchments
They’re cunning me to see it well, ring my bell!
Ring it loudly, fill your ears
The painter’s dream…Hostello, Tangiers
Take me, take me to, take me to
Hostello, Tangiers
I did know a princess deeply
How deep the heart, how deep the yearning
How soft the cry, how loud the aching
Believing me to know it well, ring my bell!
Ring it loudly, fill your ears
The princess cries…Hostello, Tangiers
Take me, take me to, take me to
Hostello, Tangiers
I did wish upon my listening
To hear, to see, to know its meaning
Then all at once, I heard myself
Thinking how, I knew it well, ring my bell!
Ring it loudly, fill your ears
Like you, I see…Hostello, Tangiers
Take me, take me to, take me to
Hostello, Tangiers
Take me, take me to, take me to
Hostello, Tangiers
