Blume (english Version) 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]
