I wish you a day of velvet,
Of iris, of lily and periwinkle,
A day of leaves and branches,
A day and then another day…
Of iris, of lily and periwinkle,
A day of leaves and branches,
A day and then another day…
A day of wheat, a day of vines,
A day of figs, of Muscat grapes,
A day of delicate grapes,
A day of doves, of swans…
A day of figs, of Muscat grapes,
A day of delicate grapes,
A day of doves, of swans…
I wish you a day of diamonds,
Of sapphire and of china,
A day of lilac and of wool,
A day of silk, oh my mommy!
Of sapphire and of china,
A day of lilac and of wool,
A day of silk, oh my mommy!
And yet another day,
Light, light, another day
Till the end of my love,
A dawn and then a dawn.
Light, light, another day
Till the end of my love,
A dawn and then a dawn.
For my love for you, my mother,
Can never end,
Like the shaking of the trees
Like the sky, like the sea…
Can never end,
Like the shaking of the trees
Like the sky, like the sea…
Pierre Gamarra
