Blume Lyrics

Blume lyrics

Chrysantemum  for you I am a chrysantemum
 				  supernova, urgent star

		    astera compositae  for you I’ll be a dandelion
					 a thousand flowerettes in the sky
				   or just a drop in the ocean

					 if you know my name
					don’t speak it out
				    it holds a power - as before

			  liliacea  a lily of the valley
				   a flower of saron

		    helianthus annus  for you I even be a sunflower
					  do you hear my enlightening laughter? 
 				  another reason to cut off an ear

				    you know my name, do you not? 
					don’t say it
					 for it is sacred, immovable - frozen

	rosa, anemone et nymphea alba	i’ll even be a waterlily,
				   a marygold, a rose
 				  or a little thistle

			   euphorbia  a blue dahlia, a black tulip
					 that’s where opinions differ
					  the scholars disagree

					  my name, should you know it
					 remains unspeakable
					 and is spoken - malediction

				    [last line in libanese]
